- Cards sent directly from AMD to reviewers use a carbon copy of the HD 5870 PCB + PCB components + heatsink which is likely why the card can clock so high. It may also contribute to the higher power consumption listed in AMD's documents.

- Other board partners are using HD 5770 PCBs

- Every card I have seen has a different cooler

- Price isn't listed as $200. Rather, AMD only lists a price of UNDER $250. That can mean $249 and below which I am guesisng will be dictated by the board partner's component choices.
5830 sounds like fail lol whatever seems ati got lazy and greedy again
