So thats our first HD 5870 and to be honest the card is a whole lot better than I expected it to be. The HD 5870 really had to do one thing; that was beat the GTX 285. The thing about that, though, is it had to do that one thing well. The good new...
Abstract: I guess that rich people won’t really choose between a CrossFireX configuration built out of four Radeon HD 5870s or a 3-way GeForce GTX 480 SLI, but will buy both. Or they can assemble a 4-way SLI even. However, none of the configurations tested in this review is perfect. In some games the maximum efficiency can only be achieved with two graphics cards and, with a couple of exceptions, their performance is going to...

In a lot of ways, this HD5870 review appears to be almost the exact opposite of the HD5770 review. For example, while the 5770 was expected to compete with the HD4890 and fell short, the HD5870 was expected to be a drop in replacement for the 4870X2,...
To be quite honest, it's hard to know what to say about Sapphire's Radeon HD 5870 that you haven't most likely already figured out for yourself. It's the fastest single GPU graphics board money can buy (and while £300 isn't cheap...
