With both Gigabyte's GVR587SO-1GD and the Geforce GTX 480 sharing a retail price of around $510 CDN ($500 USD, £350 GBP), it's difficult to declare a clear winner. Both videocards have their strengths, with the NVIDIA card doing better in scenarios with extreme tessellation and in raw geometry power. The GVR587SO-1GD hits back with excellent performance in real world gaming benchmarks and shader intensive titles. Ultimately, Gigabyte's GVR587SO-1GD videocard gets my vote thanks to its lower power consumption and noise levels, excellent overclockability and Gigabyte's superb build quality in this non-reference design... but make no mistake that this was a very close fight.

The $500 purchase price gets you an extremely quiet and cool product, and our test card was able to achieve in excess of 1 GHz on its core thanks to the voltage adjustment option in Gigabyte's OC Guru utility.

CrossFire is a fantastic technology. Unfortunately CrossFire X isn't in the same category. Hopefully one day that will change, however. For now if you want to add a second HD 5870 we would highly recommend it. The performance boost is great and justifying the extra cost associated with a second card is easy.

All in all, the Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock is an absolute winner in our books since it offers stunning performance coupled with quiet operation and significant overclocking capabilities. The overall experience was clouded a bit by the absolutely horrid OC Guru software but this is something which is easily avoided by never installing it in the first place.
