When will newegg get this item back in stock?

Probably within a few weeks, newegg customer service is the one to ask not us however, stock is limited for 5870s atm though, newegg should get new shipment within next week or few weeks

Just get the standard 5870 and do the overclock yourself through the ATI Overdrive utility, it is dumb easy. There is no sense in getting an overclocked ATI card unless it has better parts in it or has a better cooler.

Honestly though a small overclock on the 5870 doesn't really yield much difference in gaming. I know, I have one and have messed around with it. I usually do overclock but I have no need to do it right now. But really it is easy to OC it yourself as ATI lets you in the driver utility.

Thanks for the info.
I didn't realize that the XXX was overclocked at the factory. What a gimmick.

They have the XXX version at NCIXUS.com cheaper than the standard 5870 at newegg.com
