[GazzaScotland]

3 minutes past 8 and it arrived! Still currently going through and installing all my software, etc. But heres some pictures! Will get some better ones later. Also Benchmarks, etc.

The box was HUGE!

One inside the case. The Fenrir with the red top looks awesome, so does the ASUS brand HD5870.

Good thing we're going shopping for a new unit tomorrow...

Over the moon! Cheers guys .

I didn't realise how good the 5870 was! It outperforms the GTX 480 in some games!

Not Metro 2033 though

Metro does like physx, you could always ebay a 9800GT and add it as a dedicated physx card in the future, board supporting

I always thought of that, how would you go about configuring that it though I wondered. Off to google!

Metro 2033 developers are one of the companys that back Nvidia. Metro also makes the use of Tessellation.

 

[Sweeney47]

im a bit behind on Nvidia Vs ATI... is the 5870 equivalent to the 480? in terms of low/mid/high range? so 5890=485 or whatever?
