It's not a problem of the 5870's design its their standard design of the 5870 the one that's encased in plastic and the fan in it doesn't cut it.
but Nvidia has the same designs so when it comes to both brands I would avoid their standard designs and go for the ones that have a custom fan on it like the ones from Gigabyte when it comes to Nvidia and Sapphire when it comes to ATI.
I've got a 5850 from Sapphire:
Not encased and with a proper fan.
