All those stats, and the final stat says its slower than the GTX 295.....i will stick with Nvidia as i have done the last 15 years..
I dont like the case design, i prefer somewhat open casings,this one is totally closed so the heat will build up, i like the fact some of my systems fans assist in cooling some heat from my card that gets caught up in my pc case, and this design totally excludes the rest of the cooling system..all that work for one simple 75mm fan will kill this baby over some time especially if you dont clean it regularly..

For the most part this fan operates very quietly, helped by the impressively low 27 watt idle consumption of the Radeon HD 5870. When gaming the fan will of course spin up, as the card can consume up to 188 watts under load,

Look at the difference in loading!
From 27 watt idle to 188 watts, thats too much of a load to be handled by one tiny 75 mm fan..
