and the very poor overclocking results on 5870 cards really suck too, only 5% according to tpu, thats a joke... even a super hot 4870x2 ocs better...
I expected the HD-5870 to be app on par with the HD-4870X2. Yes, CF-scaling is not an issue with one GPU, but who says doubling everything leads to double the performance? Therefore I'm quite pleased up to now, except for the price. BUT AMD is advertising features as well and seeing it's the only DX11-card out there I can understand why they priced them this way. I expect prices to improve soon.
