ASUS & Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB Reviews

• Benchmark Reviews: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Video Card Review:
  
  

  "In summary, there's a long future ahead for the Radeon HD 5870. DirectX 11 is the future of gaming, whether the competition likes it or not, and ATI has a huge head-start on absorbing an early market share. Eyefinity is a nice touch and it certainly adds to the gaming experience, but there's such an incredibly small portion of potential users for the technology that in reality the Radeon 5800 series has only its shear graphics power to make the sales pitch. I give my recommendation for the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 DirectX 11 video card 21161-00-50R for high-performance gamers and multi-monitor power users."

• Legit Reviews: ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak Video Card Review:
  
  

  "When it comes to overclocking the ASUS EAH5870 was stellar and was the fastest we have gotten any brand's Radeon HD 5870 card to date. Reaching 1069 MHz on the GPU core with just air cooling was amazing. This is an overclock of nearly 220MHz and that was able to boost our graphics performance by roughly 20% in PC games and in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark Vantage.
  
  Pricing on the ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak video card is $379.99 at Newegg, but it is currently sold out. The Radeon HD 5870 is selling like hot cakes, but now you know that the ASUS version has a little extra something under the hood that makes it a better bargain that some of the other brands on the market that don't offer voltage adjustments or the PC game Colin McRae: DiRT 2."
