Any specific pictures you guys would like to see of the 5870?
Im gonna benchmark a few of my games on my GTS250 to see how much of an improvement I get with the new 5870. It would be nice for people who don't like reading site reviews on cards to see another forum members results with a card.
It will be delivered Wednesday.

Visiontek. I have a friend that got me a good bit of money off one through Bestbuy. Couldn't pass it up.

Here are my current frames per second results in a few of the games I have installed. Every game is set to max settings with no vsync at 1440x900. Crysis Warhead is set to max settings with 2x AA. Not too bad for a little GTS250. This is just for the people that are curious if any... and to compare to the new card. I should be able to max Crysis Easy at my resolution until I get a bigger monitor.

Got the Card in and wow! Card isnt what I thought it would be... has a different shroud and two fans on it. Packaging was OK and it only came with the driver CD and a power dongle and a VGA to Dual DVI adapter.
Installation went smooth only took 10 min or so. Now its time to take some pics and play some games!
