I went with this 5870 over a 480 because of the significantly lower temperatures and power usage, as well as my personal poor experiences with Nvidia stuff (my last 2 cards, a 9700M and an 8600 desktop have both fried themselves via overheating, while my old Radeon 9600 is still ticking away just fine. XFX also has a great reputation for building solid tech, with great warranties.
My previous video card was a grossly outdated Geforce 7800 GS (AGP!!!), so needless to say, this card is a huge improvement. Coming from an owner of two Nvidia cards, I made the switch to this ATI card for its lower cost , power efficiency, and excellent performance compared to the competing Geforce 480. While playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and other "current" generation games, the 5870 stays cool and quiet, and has no trouble maintaining high frame rate throughout the game. If you want high-end, and cost effectiveness (both in price and power savings), then this is the card for you.

It's been awhile since i've owned a XFX card (5500 FX), but when I decided to replace my 1GB 4870s (in crossfire) in favour of an eyefinity 5870 setup, I decided to go with XFX in my 5870 purchase. The unit is very well packaged. You get a great warranty. I am getting very close to the performance of two Sapphire 1GB HD4870s in Crossfire, so that just goes to show how great these cards are. Eyefinity is wonderful. I am hoping to purchase a second one right away so that I can blow any game out of the (oh so very realistic) water!

This card out performs every other card that I have had before without blinking. One issue though is the fan noise, anything above 40% and it sounds like a jet taking off but the card does not get that hot. So far its only hit 72c while at 35% fan speed so there are no problems there.

It lives up to the hype, it really is that much better than anything Nvidia has on the market but the 400's are just around the corner. They are progressing so fast that finding apps that can utilize the full capacity is getting harder and harder.

Great card, very powerful! I haven't been able to tax it hard yet! I wish the price would go down, a bit steep for this card but still a great purchase.
