I bought this to add to my 5970 and it runs quite well, plays every game on very high with AA and stays over 100FPS at all times. I have my 5970 underwater, but not sure if I will worry about the 5870 it seems to stay very cool anyway. like 75c on load

This is an amazing card. It was pretty easy to install, just had to move my hard drive. Runs everything maxed, and is perfect for hooking up to hd TV's to watch movies, getting the audio/video all through hdmi.

Over all a amazing card i purchased this card over the XFX because of a lack of stock on the XFX. If i had my time back i probably would have waited for the XFX because of the better warranty and more cables this card only comes with a VGA-DVI adapter unlike the XFX which comes with display port-dvi, molex-sli and the DVI-VGA...

It was a difficult installation. Occasionally, the LCD would go blank claiming "no DVI signal". Also had an issue with my one CRT stuck at 60mhz refresh. Finally uninstalled the Powercolor drivers (Both CD and downloaded) and installed the default ATI drivers for the 5800 series. That seemed to work. Got 19000+ on 3Dmark06, an improvement of about 8000 over my old 8800GTS 320. I suspect my problems were related to my motherboard being PCI-E 1.2 and my operating system, XP SP3.
