The first review I've seen of this awesome card! It looks amazing and cools amazing and just gives me a hard-on just thinking about it.
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]As far as video cards on the market right now (November 2009), the Sapphire HD 5870 doesn't have much trouble securing a reservation for one of the best seats in the entire theater. If you've been keeping up with your Neoseeker review readings recently, you've probably noticed our prior recommendation of the HD 5870. It is tough to deny the HD 5870, as there just isn't much competition.
While you can get more frames in games for less, if you are looking for maximizing your gaming upgrade dollars, if you are looking at something high-end that will last, than the HD 5870 is best thinking going at the moment. With Nvidia's next-gen still anyone's guess off -- we suspect it won't materialize until February or later -- ATI is sitting pretty with the HD 5870 offering next-gen performance levels and a great feature set, including DirectX11 and Eyefinity.
And if you are considering HD 5870's, then Sapphire's HD 5870 is perhaps the best looking option available right now. While the factory overclock is pretty insignificant, the Vapor-X cooler is certainly worth the small price premium (+$10 USD seems the norm). The HD 5870 Vapor-X also comes with a good bundle, featuring two full games. So if you are anxious to dive into the HD 5000 series and are looking for the place to do it, check out this cool card from Sapphire.[/FONT]
