    crysis wars? i don't see crysis wars in the reviews - only crysis warhead... plus both reviews include gtx295 results as well, so comparing these results with the 5970 in the same review is more reliable than comparing to results you get, isn't it? apples to apples imo.

    up to 1920x1200 the results are pretty good though, however it looks more like 2x5850 than 2x5870... seems like the extra shader cores don't help at all and the lower clocks kill the performance somehow. on the other hand i think they just lowered the clocks to meet the 300w specs of pcie.

    I'm going to wait for some more reviews and to see what XS people can do to it. I had higher hopes for the 5970 and the downclocking bummed me out a bit. But if it doesn't work out there's always two 5870s.

    Wait for real results on these cards. The second link(hardwarezone.com) hit 800MHz core 1100MHz memory.. I'm guessing there is an CCC limit like the 4870x2. The cores are good for 1GHz, we just need software to accomplish this
    I want your HD 5970s and HD 5970 waterblocks.

    the second review hit a limit and crashed, not a CCC limit. they mentioned they believe drivers are causing problems

    Why does the 5970 perform better than crossfired 5870s in Dawn of War II?

    Also, I heard the 5970 has unlocked CCC, there's no limit on overclocking for it.

    yep, it's unlocked.

    But, the guys in the second review hit that limit because maybe they left the voltages at stock, which are lower than stock 5870 (maybe, they didn't say how they OC-ed the 5970).

    lets hope they sort the drivers out for these 5970 because they havn"t with the 5870-5850 drivers are a abit of a performance hit!

    I'm hoping the scaling in Shattered Horizon is as good as in Vantage.

    Is it still considered a synthetic if there is a game based on the engine? Kinda blurs the line, lol.

    yea 2nd site doesnt know how to overclock properly(need bump in core volts from the stock 1.062v i think it is)..the card can push out some great numbers overclocked though..the first site is terribly slow..probably way to much traffic now..and they hit 900core with 1.162v and 1000core with 1.262v...1.15v for memory to hit 1200..
