Sapphire HD 5870 TOXIC 2GB Review
Clock speeds: 925MHz/5,000MHz
We take a look at the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 TOXIC 2GB just before GTX 480 launches. Let's see how much it beats up on all current competition and conjecture whether it stands a good chance against you-know-what....
The results are not a mistake. A 2GB frame-buffer enables the Radeon HD 5870 GPU to breathe when really taxed. Indeed, it's faster than a Radeon HD 5970 - a card that has to share its frame-buffer between the GPUs.
A near-30 per cent performance increase over a generic HD 5870 is down to more than just clock-speed, clearly.
