I've got to say, I've had no problems with my 5870, no driver crashes, no flickering on my monitor connected by DP, and it seems to work better than when I had my 4850s in it. Windows hibernation hasn't worked well at all since I've had my 4850s, but it works perfectly with my 5870.

I had flickering on my 5850 whenever it adjusted the clocks. I was using a three monitor setup. Basically there's a design flaw on AMD chip that means it can't step the clocks without flickering the screens in a multi-monitor setup.
I've switched to GTX 460 and it can step the clocks on multi-monitor setups without any flickering. The GTX 460 also switches down to the same minimum clock (50MHz core and low-voltage) in dual-screen as it does single-screen. About time this sort of thing was done right.
