How much cooler is the XFX running vs the Asus? If the 5800 series is like the 4800 then you may be getting scaling due to lower temps. Atleast I had a top bencher inform me this is the case.

As far as screenies. I usually post everything on here..The Asus is under 5870 test...
As far as haters there is no need in them...for sure...I love both of these cards.. Actually XFX is a bit behind the eight ball so to speek.. There Bios has a flaw...The Asus bios is better..But there is something making the XFX run abit better clock...
As far as temps both cards are still great.. You can set the fan at 35% for stock running and stay about that and the asus seems to run around a few degrees warmer in the bench but still below 60..I really can't see why you would need to WC these unless you were a hardcore 4 hour gamer...
I am sure that someone else could post the same thing and get the Asus to come ahead.... Actually except for Vantage which I did in 64 instead of 32 all the scores were so close..The Vantage score was 1000 higher to 1400 as you can see in 5870 test.. I just found it interesting that XFX pulled ahead in all the runs i did...The bottom line is these are great cards... The Asus EAH5870 or the XFX 5870 XXX....The best I ever owned including the 5970 but that is just personal opinion....Both cards have no issues for me that I have read about..Like gray lock-ups etc. etc... They run cooler and faster and less problematic than any card I have ever tryed....
I put these comparisons on here because I have to do it anyway...If this bothers anyone I will stop... I am not Johnny Guru for sure but do enjoy trying these just as i will the fermi compared to these at the same bench....
Again a special THANKS to GUTTERZ for helping me with the bios flash..This is usually easy these days but for some reason win 7 wants to fight the USB stick.....
