Still can't match Nvidia GTX 480 in most tests, Beefed-up fan is incredibly loud at maximum speed
A good-looking, tweakable high-end gaming card, the EAH5870 offers some nice features over a standard HD 5870 board. Just brace yourself for major fan noise if you push it to its limits. Read More…...
Abstract: Although we were positive that we'd already seen every possible version of Radeon HD 5870, ASUS has surprised us with a new "premium" model. EAX5870 V2 is an improved version that should appear in sufficient quantities on the market, unlike the limited...
The ASUS EAH5870 V2 STALKER Edition is a perfectly good video card, but it is overpriced. It is available in retail for $448 USD, making it almost $100 more than a vanilla Radeon HD 5870. We found that the slight GPU frequency boost makes no performanc...
While Asus should be commended for producing a card with a shorter custom PCB, cooler and factory-applied overclock for roughly the same price as a standard card, it shouldn't have bothered. Only if these features improved on the original design would the...
Although nearly a year old already, the Radeon HD5870 is still ATI's top performing single-GPU card, at least until the 5890 comes out. In the meantime, manufacturers have been redesigning cards with upgraded coolers and better power handling capabil...
Overall, the ASUS EAH5870 did a great job with everything we tested it with. It took graphically demanding games and pulled up a lawn chair, sat back, laughed at them, and asked for more. The 5870 kept all the minimum FPS at a playable level at all ti...
The ASUS Radeon 5870 V2 is a very good non-reference card that offers some unique features for consumers. We know the 5870 is already an impressive and popular card, but ASUS has decided to go that extra mile by offering enthusiasts the opportunity to ...
What can we say about the HD5870 that we haven't said a dozen times? It's more rounded than a cannonball, being powerful, sensibly priced, regular driver updates, and capable of handling almost anything you throw at it.So what does the EAH 5870 V2 from As...

The ASUS EAH5870 V2 easily met or improved on the basic performance levels set by the reference cards. The availability of software voltage control allowed an easy 18% increase in clock rates, with no loss of stability or extreme temperatures. Users o...

We like the Asus HD5870 for a few reasons. The oversized fan keeps it up to 17% cooler at stock speeds and we all know the cooler electronics run at the longer they live. We like the MSRP at $429 because we've seen factory overclocked cards at $499 th...
