But it was actually better than the 5870, and certainly an improvement (in terms of performance) than the 2xx range.  It just consumed lots of power / generating lots of heat.

Here's a successor which doesn't consistently beat its predecessor, and against the Sandy Bridge, even more suspect.  Uses more power, and not exactly cheaper either (though prices will come down).

Interestingly, most reviews used the ASUS Crosshair mobo, but it seems that those using other motherboards got better results?
