Great card great price and FREE DirT2 game.......Massive. The only difference are freq. of memory and core and a few stream processors. Smaller, alot cheaper with much the same power....

TechPowerUp downclocked a HD5870 to make it perform on HD5850 levels, and it looks like an amazing value. For under $300 it smokes the GTX 285.

Because it is nigh on near the same performance for alot less with less heat....therefore I can envisage that peeps will buy alot more of these over the 5870....especially if they wanna crossfire them. If that is the case the savings would be huge.

Perhaps I'm completely missing the mark, but I think Sean meant 1984 Big Brother. I could be wrong...

I don't mind being laughed at if I am.
