You got some crazy cards. I can clock my card to 1.25Ghz with 1.3v but it has to maintain Temp under 45C to be fully stable.

There was never a gtx 490.....had there been one (i.e. dual gtx 480 gpu) the 5970 would have been left in the dust.

You do realize you are comparing TWO 5870's in crossfire to a SINGLE gtx 480.......doh.gif

If the 5970 didn't come out ahead that would have been an epic fail for ati.
