If the 9.12s do give a ~20% boost and the 5970 gets excellent scaling then it might get to twice the speed of the 295

I think it's unlikely though I'm expecting more like 50% faster

Can't wait to see if this card can actually handle some 5760x1200 action

Checkout the link, they have some benchmarks of just that

Added official reviews to post #1, anand, techpowerup etc

Toms seems to be the only place that got a good o/c out of their 5970 so far

Up now at OCUK, all over £500

Also, are there any successful over clocking results??

Only scanned a few reviews, hardwarezone and Anand tried to OC 3 cards between them and failed miserably to achieve stock 5870 speeds. I would expect at this stage an overclocked 295 is faster than a 5970?

Toms had success, doesnt bode well though does it.

At what? Melting maybe but that's about it.

I think the people buying xfire 5850s for under £400 at launch are laughing now. The 5850s seem to overclock way better than a 5970.
