ATI 5870 - The Beast has arrived
This ATI Radeon 5870 video card arrived today. This thing is a beast, and that is definitely a good thing. I will snap some more images during the install, and then run some tests on this thing.

Am running the 5870 myself, loving it so far, it had been a long, long time since I had been anywhere near the top of the video card food-chain.
The 5870 is 5/8s of an inch longer than a 260. Bah quote didn't work. I saw dethadder said it looked a smidge smaller. I had to cut reliefs in my hard drive cages when I replaced my GTX260s with my 5870s. (5870 CrossfireX am a suk atm)
In my defense, I was judging by his KB which is very different design than mine
. Your are correct though. In a review it says it is 11.1 inches long, whilst my BFGTech GTX260 OC2 is 10.5". I think I'd also have to cut into the HD cage to shoehorn it in my tower.
I just wanted to put it out there. I'm sure there are plenty of people that wouldn't be thrilled to have to take a dremel to there pieces parts to stuff these things in. I hear the 5970 has about an inch on the 5870.... ![]()
