Good post, but....
Cutting to the chase: Bying 5870 (overpriced) or 5970 (not the fastest but yet the most expencive) today is just about the dumbest thing one could do. Im sorry, but thats just plain fact.
Why one would buy a 2009 card that was an awnser to an even older one (Gtx295) for a wopping 500 euros or more is completly beyond me. It would be like running out out and buy a gtx 480 right now = completly senceless. Today 580gtx, working out an average from games used in benchmarks, equals the 5970, to a lesser cost , and "tomorrow" u will have even more to choose from (6970, 6990, 590). Although the latest rumors say that 6970 will NOT be faster than 580, but thats another story.
Both theese cards is a bad buy, mainly because of horrific prizing. Why get an old card when u can get a new one with equal or better performance for the same prize or cheaper, i dont get it?
I do agree on memory and ssd disc thoug. Ssd will be my next upgrade.
