ASUS EAH5870 - "Unofficial" Review

**MikeC** · 10-01-09, 08:36 PM

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

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...asus%20eah5870

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.

- Analysis of Games To Benchmark

Benchmark Results

Crysis Warhead
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
Resident Evil 5

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

I would also like to see if you can duplicate the issue I had in Crysis DX10 and on my desktop.
