EDIT: Looking at some reviews, it's nice, but while you'd think two of these in crossfire would be better than a 5770, it's not. 5770 is probably still the best value.

Performance is pretty much what i was expecting. Would have been nice to see it beat the 9800GT though and finally slay that average gaming dragon.

It looks like it has some good OC potential though..just saaaayin.

Meh, Only 8800GT performance. That card was released like in 2007. AMD needs to stop releasing cards that are only slightly better than 3 year old GPU's

Maybe they are doing it for the sake of DX11 under $100.

Will probably be getting this next month or so.

Aside from adding new features manufacturing costs are a very good reason to release newer parts with equal performance to older parts.

It should cost AMD significantly less to produce a Hd 5670 than it will cost nvidia to produce a 9800gt which means they ccould win any price war and/or make more profit per card at equal prices.
