Well, as some of you guys know, ATI released their 5K series cards just recently. And I haven't really been in touch with the computer world as I once was (school, work, and what not) and I knew the 5870 was going to be good... but this good?

Wow, that is very interesting to see. I was expecting this to out perform anything on the market hands down. Have you heard much about how well it overclocks?

5870 is $380 and the 295 is $500. Bit of a difference in price haha. I was comparing on how a single GPU card like the 5870 can preform about the same as a dual-GPU card like the 295, plus it being $100 less. hahaha. And I don't know about overclocking on it quite yet. I'm sure you'd be able to bump it up a bit.

It also seems to use way less wattage than the GTX 295 CO-OP which surprised me a bit. Wonder how much heat they give off compared to the GTX.
