Why they so much dearer because of the Voltage Tweak Technology? Can't you do this to any 5870? An why not just get a cheaper Vapor X?
 
Same hardware different sticker, 1 extra year warranty.

The bios is different but you can apply the bios to any 5870 as they are the same hardware.
 
Demand and supply. The ASUS cards are in very short supply and knowledgeable retailers know there is high demand. This allows prices to be bumped up.

Some of the larger retailers do not realise/track individual product demand so sell at cost plus a few percent. This can create lasrge price differentials (when the products are actually in-stock).
