SWEET!!!!!!!!!! I broke down and grabbed one of the HIS5970's...
I also like to separate the cards and can with slot 1 and 3..I purchased and extended bridge from ebay for the 4870x2's and I think they are the same bridge for the 5870 and 5970....
I read somewhere that the 5970's really need the separation....I am modding my cube now for the arrival of the first HIS...2nd to come as soon as i can grab it....

Good to hear buddy, we can go head to head with them :D

Anyone know how to permanantly disable the feature tests in Vantage?
(re-running with better mem speeds/timings to compare to that GTXclassified run)

No. I always have to manually turn them off.

Well, its a nice bump just tightening up mem and increasing speed:

Chit!!!!! 28,000 @ 3.3....You are really going to make some noise when you crank this up a bit....ATI loves the 06 and 03 stuff..You will soon make your mark!!!!!!!!!!!!:clapping:

Oh yeah, that's where you'll see the most difference by raising your BCLK.

I raised the dram ratio to 1600 and the cpu and gpu scores liked it. :thumbsup:

Vantage is having problems in Win732bit, freezes or driver crashes. Managed to squeek out 1 run:
