HD5870 and HD5850 Reviews

[gumballguy]

All these people saying its less than they expected.... are already running 4870x2's and 295's!

Well DUH. Of course that means it's not a worthy upgrade (with no dx11 titles yet, assuming you don't want multi monitor).

But I don't think for anyone who has an older card that there is a more sensible option.. given you can crossfire later (who's going to run 2x295's? :p)

5870 = 4870x2 is huge. Maybe you're all at the bleeding edge and its nothing to you, but I'm not. I've got a 7000 series in the server and a 2600 in my laptop.... if you were me, looking for a grand upgrade, what would you buy? :p
