I was going to post something to ask when these were coming in as I noticed the Rev 1 version had disappeared from the 5870 page yesterday.

Was reading this review last night -

It is ASUS board but is using ATI reference design so will accept aftermarket coolers / waterblocks.

£329.99 is not the best price i've found - but never used those companies before.
 
Those really are bizzare benchmarking results, there must be something wrong with the ref 5870 or the ref 5870's drivers.

As far as I knew the board was not reference, if it is great, will probably pick up a water-block in the future when the prices come down a decent bit.

And 57c load temperatures o.O
The card runs cool, but 57c seems a bit unbelievable, maybe with 100% fan speed. With a resonable fan profile it hits about 68c full load at stock during Crysis/BC2.
 
Does anyone own this card i would like some opinions before i buy one... I have chosen this one over the powercolor 5870 PC++ that i was originally going to get. Do you think this is a good choice?
 
I have this card, but mine was at stock clock speeds, it looks exactly the same.

I can hit 950core and 1320 memory on stock voltage, with a top temp of 80c under Furmark Xtreme Burn in after 5 mins.

If it really is true that it'll accept third party coolers then I need a Zalman or the like for it.

Edit:- Wondering if they made a few variants of this.

I get about 2000 points in Vantage, but I've not benched much else to be honest so I can't offer too much help at the moment.
 
Depends what you mean by driver issues? Stability hasn't been a problem, but I've been chopping and changing drivers to find the best performance for my card.
 
Also, I've just measured temps again at 940/1300 and I'm hitting 82c, and that's with a real high ambient temp at the moment due to the weather.
 
OMG i just drooled down my left part of my mouth not very lady like is that a sign i should buy this card LoL.
