    As much as I want a 5870 i'm gonna buy another HD 4890, a 1000 watt PSU, and some DDR 3 RAM instead. running two Hd 4890 overclocked to 1 ghz will be awesome. Besides Christmas 2010 is probably when a great Directx 11 game will finally come out. Plus I want to see if Nvidia and this Physx thing takes off (been waiting like 5 years for it to do so)

    ATI 5750 here: http://www.mymypc.com/vbp/forum/showthread.php?p=59012#post59012

    according to hexus they expect it to retail at around the £115 mark

    Also, anyone got a pic of the 5870 INSIDE a case yet? Looking on google images and cant find anything. I think it will fit in a Lian Li PC A05b because it is fat and long in the right places even though overall it's a small case... however I would like to make sure :)

    Just bought a pair of the HIS branded 5870's. They SOOOO totally rock! What a brutal pair of cards! I'm loving my first Crossfire setup.

    am i the only one who thinks enabling 16x AF through the whole review was not a good idea?

    most sites set 16xAF from the GT200 cards on wards, you basicly get it for free (ATI or Nvida), same goes for ATI 4000 cards or higher as they Fixed the AF in it that card (was Very broke in the 2000 and maybe the 3000 cards as it had no dedicated AF it was done with the SPs so it slowed the card way down)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that was the AA profiles that were coded wrong.
