Picked up a fresh (and remarkably stinky) Powercolor 5870. Haven't seen many in the wild, so here a chance to pound it. I'll take it up 50mhz on the next run.

I have never smelt a card this bad. Effing acrid lol.

50mhz bump, 1C warmer. Might be a decent card...

Not bad at all, and the cheapest 5870 available in Canada right now at $419. Next weekend I'll throw down some dice action.

nope, it's like the shite they use to clean flux. Thanks bro but that wasn't work lol, it just did what I asked it to ;) Vista 32 is a dog on 06 though, those scores should be 2k higher.
