It has taken me days to get my head around the HD 5970 name. I was one of those people who had in my head that it was simply going to be called the HD 5870 X2; it seemed the logical name since it's what ATI has used in the past. I've written everything from HD 5790 to HD 5970 trying to get my brain and my fingers working together and I have to give myself a tap on the back that I'm now getting it right. I think the biggest problem is that NVIDIA are enjoying being a bit of a pain in the ass by releasing their new low end models a day before the new high end models from ATI. One side of you says ‘why am I testing a GT 200 series model when HD 5970 is sitting next to me?’; the other half is telling me that you've got to take the exciting with the non exciting. I'm not trying to take anything away from the NVIDIA series cards and their new GT 200 models that have impressed us, but come on; we all love high end models.
