one difference will be that all previous bench's with the 5850 were done with 10.1 drivers and for the 5870 Iam running 10.2, otherwise everything the same , well except for my new psu, that I still cant get over how quiet it is lol I will be doing the vantage,3dmark 05,06 heavens, through out the day today unless pain gets under control abit better Dragon
HERE is another furmark ai the 5870 at clocks 960x1285 @1.175 volts...and a 5850 at 894x1190 clocks notice the nice temps on the 5870, I think it has better cooling than the 5850 did, mind you the 5850 is o/c'ed fairly good too lol
