ATi HD 5870 Review
by DJ Spiel (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=620398)
We are going to be covering the SAPPHIRE Radeon Model 100281SR priced @ $379.00. In this review I intend to discuss Performance, benchmarks and overall as a buyer what you should expect from this video card.
I think the price is more than fair enough considering it’s the single most powerful GPU on the market right now. If you're thinking about picking up a new video card but are short on funds, I would wait a few months until ATI/AMD drops the price on this card. I would expect to see a price drop sometime in December or January.
Coming from an nVidia background, I really didn't know what to expect from this video card. That being said, I am glad with my purchase! I have been out of the "red" ATI community for quite some time now and was quoted as saying "green 4-life", that is until I saw what this card is capable of. I have to be honest and say that the nail in coffin for me was the EyeFinity Technology. I have been waiting for some time now for this to be released on a single video card without having to buy a Matrox Triple Head card.
