I do apologize if I came across as rude- not my intent.

If you really feel like you're missing something with the 5870, nab a 6950 for cheap once these parts launch in a couple weeks. At 19X10 and console optimized games $500 video cards are waste on the order of cocaine for you.
Happy Holidays Redeemed, and no offense intended. Mostly I was just shocked I agree with Roadie on the power issue.

Thanks Rollo- happy Holidays to you as well.
I dunno... read some reviews of the 7970 and I know with future drivers there will be some improvements, but I'm thinking the 7870 won't bring anything significant over my 5870. Unless the 7870 reviews really wow me I guess I'll be keeping my 5870.
Cards aren't even out yet, and the drivers in the reviews were beta. Just gotta' wait a bit after launch and see how these cards shape up. So far, I'm leaning towards keeping this 5870.
