How can they claim to keep temperatures below 50C? what if I live in Egypt (for example) and only have a single rad with CPU, RAM, chipset, and GPU in one loop?

The 5870 is memory bandwidth starved, the 4890 has half the processing and execution units but 121GB/sec of memory bandwith, while at 1250mhz the 5870 here has about 159GB/sec, a tiny increase given the doubling of processing power.

Shame really :( They should have considered a 384bit bus.

The issue is limited memory bandwith, the 4890 has 800 SPs and 121GB/s memory bandwidth, this 5870 has 1600 SPs and 159GB/s bandwith.

Its doubled its processing power but only had a slight bump in ram bandwidth, so it won't perform as two 4890s

Of course there's no 'need' to overclock, but where's the fun in that? Many of the regulars on this site overclock their hardware. Why? Because we can.

This meme can never die rabid, because crysis has a bug that makes it unplayable at 2560 x 1920 with full AA and AS
