Which HD 5870 1GB to get?? too many choices =)
Hey hey ppl!
I'm planning to get the Radeon HD 5870 1GB GPU but there are so many variations to choose from, can't relly tell the difference between the brands! There's ASUS/XFX/Sapphire/Powercolor/Gigabyte... and they seem roughly the same. Anyone have any suggestions.
I do know that the ASUS one has some Voltage tweak that allows u to overclock.

wait for the non reference designs and then decide based on reviews. The non reference designs tend to have better cooling and power management.

If all reference designs...just go for your personal preferred distro, lowest price or longest warranty.
