Can't be easily found as it is old gen card.
You should try to get HD7850 instead of 6870 asboth of them comes at almost same price.

Yup hd 7850 may come at the same price level... but tht's a PCI 3.0 nd my mobo is gigabyte 890fxa (Pci 16x 2.0) which is not gonna help me getting all the bandwith power of tht card as my slot is slower :( .... (Please correct me if i am wrong) !:-?:-?:-?:-?

HD7850 won't be able to utilize the total bandwidth of PCI-E 2.0

For your peace of mind: There isn't a single card which can utilize the total bandwidth of PCI-E 2.0, not even GTX690.

PCI-E 3.0 is marketing gimmik.
