I am thinking of buying a 5870 to replace my 5850. There is three models that I have investigated little bit.
I have also a MK-13 that I either sell or use as the 5870 cooler.
MSI 5870 Ligtning 2x8pin power connectors 15 PWM + 1 NEC Proadlizer good cooling ~300€ Might not fit MK-13 because of the VRM/ram cooling plate
Asus 5870 Matrix 2x8pin power connectors 12 PWM 2GB memory adequate cooling ~360€ Should fit MK-13
Gigabyte Radeon 5870 Super Overclock "only" 2x6pin power connectors 9 PWM + 5 NEC Proadlizer good cooling to GPU, but not on VRM or memory ~300€ Should fit MK-13
I would expect them all to reach near 1000Mhz on GPU. Gigabyte has got 9 PWN + 5 Proadlizers so that forgives for the better PWM that MSI and Asus have.
What do you think I should get, and is there any other high end 5870s that I have missed?
