Then i got even worse news for you;


ati is comming with the 6000 series near christmas this years, faster then the 5870 or the 5970...
So, this christmas you could buy a faster card for the same money as you wanted to buy in the same period.

So, you still get to beat the 5870...Or at least simular performance for way less.

I'd probably even wait a card or two into the 6000 line before buying. The first card usually has a bit of a price-gouge effect going on, and later ones (sometimes even a month later) can usually be had for much less and unlocked to run the same speed or even faster than the "flagship card".
