The Asus EAH5870 is a great example of ATi’s flagship single-GPU video card. It offers a better bundle than average and a generous three year warranty. The Voltage Tweak feature is also invaluable if you are the kind of user who likes to shoot for...

Since all of the cards are identical, we'll generalize the conclusion. Once again we showed that RADEON HD 5870 is a great product in its price range (about $400). It easily outperforms the competing...

The combination of the ASUS HD 5870 and Windows 7 was a match made in heaven. There's no better way to compliment one than by buying the other for some downright brilliant performance. In our results, the GTX295 still kept its performance crown, but...

ASUS has delivered a fantastic ATI Radeon HD 5870 based video card with the option to manualy tweak GPU voltages. SmartDoctor worked easily, and with voltage modification allowed us to achieve above 1GHz GPU frequencies improving performance. One...
