Default XFX HD5870 Black Edition Review @ KitGuru

XFX. Those three letters immediately conjure visions of video gaming excellence – especially when you delve into their high end product range. Without doubt, along with Sapphire, XFX have been producing some of the finest graphics cards on the market over the last decade.

I like XFX cards and this one seems no different, another fine AMD/ATI based card. I cant wait for the next generation of cards to see where they can take us

Nice review Z and this line of cards is a winner for ATI. When you see XFX anywhere it adheres to quality. Chaos and I have been playing around with HD4xxx and HD5xxx and we are still amazed with power consumption vs performance.

Hey Z a question from a forum member on TNHW who read the review from my news post.

I didn't see it within the review but I am getting old and may have missed it lol

The member is US and his question was "What is the retail release date on this". I am sure the UK and NA release dates will differ.

Hi Dave - There is no official release date for the card yet - XFX are offering it first exclusively to existing customers via a rewards system. Then after this people will be able to buy it , in limited quantities.
