I was curious to know how close 2x XFX black edition 5850's come to being as high performance as a 5970.

I am just trying to get an idea of the performance level ill be looking at. Any ideas ?

2 HD5850s will be about the same as the HD5970. not to mention no power bottleneck, less heat, more overclocking room

If you OC it enough yes. I personally would, but im afraid to flash my card's bios to up the limits. Anyone know of another way to bypass the limits on CCC?
