ASUS EAH5870 - "Unofficial" Review
 

Wanted to let folks know that I ordered an ASUS EAH5870 from Newegg a couple of days ago for $379 :afro:

As I've done with other ATI graphics cards, I plan to put together an unofficial review in this thread.

If you have any special requests, please let me know via PM.

Nice can't wait to see some benchie's, not sure if I want to wait for GT 300 seems so far away.:thumbdwn:

Re: ASUS EAH5870
 

I know what you mean, but I have a hunch that the GT 300 will be something special. I haven't done a review in quite some time and I figured it would be a good idea to use this card in testing an updated suite of games to benchmark.

Wow...cool, looking forward to this (nana2)I would also like to see if you can duplicate the issue I had in Crysis DX10 and on my desktop.
