Since Radeon HD 4770 is ATI’s first 40nm card, and you can imagine that the process or yields are far from optimal. Therefore, you can expect some 40nm HD 4770 cards on the market, but it will be a while until you see a better availability.

The first batch was delivered before the launch and the second batch is expected in first week of May, or should we simply say next week.

Even the next batch won’t satisfy the needs of customers and we believe it will take at least a month if not even more before ATI can pump enough 40nm RV740's into the channel. This was the case with the RV770 launch last year, as this 55nm card was a great performer, but very hard to get in the first month following the launch.
