Since you guys trust SKYMTL I used his 5970 review for the basis of the numbers: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-10.html
I included the % faster 5970 is versus 5870 in average and minimum framerates:



I agree, personal attacks are unwarranted. We should all remember that not everyone has the same experiences, needs, and desires. My anecdotal evidence doesn't necessarily apply to you any more then yours applies to me.
Good post. I must have misremembered the reviews I read initially at release... so it is definitely better than 40%, looks more like 65-70% on the 5870 crossfire scaling assuming a profile is present. I remembered having read the minimums as not improving that much offhand, my bad .

On your last paragraph, thank you for being one of the couple to have respect on forums lately... I've been careful to (most of the time) restrict comments to include a phrase like "for me" or "in my system" so as not to blanket-statement things. I'm sure it works 100% awesomely for many people, it just doesn't for me. If people could keep themselves in check ego-wise like you are and actually respond with facts/analysis instead of personal attacks, forums would be a lot more useful and better in general (some have gone VERY much downhill such as hardforum lately, I appreciate that the people here even when being hostile are not going to those levels).
