This review is from: ASUS Radeon HD5870 1 GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card EAH5870/G/2DIS/1GD5/V2 (Personal Computers)
This thing is a beast. By far the best version of the 5870, it can overclock far better than any other 5870 on the market. The 2gb 5870 models are available, but they can't overclock very well and the extra gig is only useful if you are running multiple monitors at high resolutions. This is a must for single monitor gaming. This thing is a monster and destroying benchmarks left and right. I'm having more fun running benchmarks than playing games right now only because it leave every card I've ever owned in the dust. I've never seen Crysis run so smoothly. I got mine for about $500, factory overclocked (though I pushed the core clock from 868 to nearly 1000MHz with no problem. Now I'm seeing sellers bundling 8gb of ram with it too for the same price. I shoulda waited till now =(
