“The new AMD Radeon HD 5970 graphics card takes PC gaming performance to a completely new level by combining a pair of Evergreen-based GPUs on a single PCB, 2GB of GDDR5 memory and plenty of headroom for overclocking. For a single card system, the performance that the HD 5970 provides is simply unmatched but that does not mean the card is without its slight misgivings.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

We’re going to need a new benchmark
When a single graphics card beats 10,000 points on the Extreme 3DMark Vantage and refuses to dip below 100fps on every game Ryan tested, even at 2650 x 1600 with every single feature turned up to 11, you know you have unprecedented performance. Even a triple SLI rig would have trouble keeping up, and if it did then there is no reason you can’t toss a second HD5970 into your system, apart from the $599 entrance fee. Join Ryan as he shatters benchmarks and sees games in a way never seen before.
