5850 or 5870

[DustyMiller]

Which is the better option the Asus 5850cu with the stock speed of 765Mhz, or the XFX 5870 on special offer at the moment.

How much headroom have the XFX 5870 got for Overclocking ??

 

[cainer]

only £15 difference in price , id go with the 5870 but will be interesting to see what others think (afaik a 5850 @ 5870 clocks will still be ~5% slower)

get a 5870 unless you have airflow or lack of space in your case. Ooo it rythmes...
