This is the card I currently have. I have a 30" display, and like to play games at 2560x1600. With everything turned up in Lord of The Rings online, I get 20 fps.I should expect more then 60 with the 5870.
I also have yet to get Dragon Age, or the latest CoD. I want more power before I experience those games.
Oh the upside I bought one yesterday for $399 at NewEgg. I found a tip online that worked for me! If you search there site, and get the listing, like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=hd+5870&x=0&y=0
you will see auto-notify on this page. This page can lag up to 45 minutes behind the actual page, so for the most current info, you need to click onto the item itself.
I did this for all of them, and the Diamond card was in stock. Grabbed one, and 15 min later is was sold out again.
Just a tip for the future :)
