HD5870 and HD5850 Reviews

[Eastcoasthandle]

Hey Guys, is it worth getting these cards or is it wise to wait for Nvidia's Answer? I would luv to by either 5850 or 5870 to upgrade my current 8800GT. I am a Huge nvidia fan, but lately they have been saying and doing a lot of crazy things, most curreny "Direct X 11 Doesn't Matter" what the heck is this nvidia? I want 2-3 years Proof Card. Your Guys Thoughts?

OS - Win 7 (U guys can see the rest of my Hardware on my Signature)
Gaming - I game more lately on my PC. Currently I have 22" Samsung LCD but I plan to get 42" Samsung LED or LCD TV (My Christman Present).

There is something not yet address in full that's also been speculated. That is the use of 5870 and Win7 vs Vista. It's been rumored that 5000 series would provide better performance under Win7 as drivers mature. However, that remains to be seen. Also, there are a lot of mixed results when trying to assertain performance when so many reviewers are either using:
-Win7 32
-Win7 64
-Vista 32
-Vista 64
Specially when games are 32 bit centric. And, no measures were taken to tweak 32bit games in a 64bit OS so they can take advantage of the larger virtual address space that 64 bit OS can offer (until they note otherwise of problems using large address space flag, etc). However, it does appear to me that at it's current price point it safe to suggest the 5870 as we will see DX11 game(s) this year and next year.
