As with the UK, stock is plentiful. With the Pound-to-Euro exchange rate almost even, there's little difference in pricing and the average cost of in-stock Radeon HD 4890s from Alternate.de is €235, equating to roughly £215.

No surprises in the US, either. Popular etailer NewEgg.com has seven cards listed, and they're all currently in stock:

US Market

etailerProductAvailabilityPrice (exc. localised charges )
newegg.com XFX Radeon HD 4890 In stock $249.99
  ASUS Radeon HD 4890 In stock $259.99

  Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 In stock $249.99

  PowerColor Radeon HD 4890 In stock $249.99

Priced at an around of $249.99, US customers will be paying in the region of £170 + TAX.

AMD then, was understandably in a hurry to get its card to market - there's ample supply and consumers looking to make day-one purchases should have no difficulty in finding one.
