Well if you look at the sticker then you wont need to download gpu-z

Sticker could be faked, though! Bios could be hacked to fool GPUZ! What now? Only real test is to do some benchmarking and compare.

mmmm GPU-Z states Radeon 5800 series as well :mad:

Ah, but clever people will know from the other information what card it is. In fact even I'm pretty sure from those clock figures it is indeed a 5870.

thanks mate, I didnt doubt it I just couldnt see how anyone who's not a techy would know what ATI card they have, at least nVidia name their cards :rolleyes:

Well the best non techy way, providing you can use a screwdriver, would be to just take the side of the case off and have a look.
