According to one of our sources, ATI might be short on HD 4770 cards if it decide to launch it on April 28th. This great US $99 card has drawn a lot of attention as this is going to be a first 40nm GPU on the market and it should be a great bang for buck card.

According to our sources, the card will be very hard to find during first one or two weeks as ATI doesn't have enough RV740 GPUs to do a real world wide launch. We all know that ATI wants to be the first one on the market, but paper launch is not very popular thing.

It's not a classic paper launch as there will be some cards around at launch and ATI will ramp up the production eventually, but if our sources are right a lot of people will have to wait a bit to get their hands on one of these. The lack of quantity on market might be in connection with possible huge popularity and enormous size of sub $100 market, but we are sure it should quickly get better.
