You do realize that AMD bought ATI in 2006 and just kept the ATI name until they ditched it around the time of the HD6000 series, right? So even a HD5970 would be a AMD ATI Radeon, not a ATI Radeon.
If you want to go pure ATI then the last GPU by them before AMD bought them out would be the X1950XTX. You could technically count the HD2900XT but again that was launched after AMD bought them.

Im well aware they were bought, but the card is still labelled as an ATI card. What I was implying is that I wanted an older card. The newer AMD reference coolers aren't as nice as the older 'ATI' ones if you get me.
So, any advice on where I could buy them? Not much luck on eBay.

You could try that but every other site I see them for sale has them near $800-900 bucks so might be a scam.
Going to be very hard and at the prices you might have to pay, there are better new options.
To top it off, the HD7970 had the same reference cooler as the HD5970, just a different style to the front intake.
