1.25" shorter than the 5870, that's good.

hoho, smart stuff!

Beats the 285 in whatever counts, is quiet, draws less power than a 5870 and crossfire kicks arse (when it works). Also a much sexier price, < 300$.

Personally. Just wait for gt300's to come out. There may be some price flux then.

May= doubtful but worth waiting.

Apparently the price on 5850's just went up 20$ so if you were sitting one the fence, and don't want to spend an extra 12 pack of beer, go get em tiger!
