Just got the 5870 a couple of days ago and its great compared to my GTX 260. I am running it with a Q6600 @ 3.33ghz on a P965 mobo and it rips through bioshock, CODMW2 and I can run Crysis @ 1680x1050 Very high settings with 2x AA. People talk a lot about bottlenecks and sure the Q6600 wont be as quick as an I7 but I am not complaining. Hardly any performance difference with my 'old' PCI-E 1.0 either. Hey I am happy as I have had the mobo for over 2 years and it still does the job great!
