http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware...s/hd5870launch/Manufacturer produced several model of the same card. Like ATI HD 5870, all manufacturer at least produced two model; 1) standard HD 5870 & 2) overclocked version of HD 5870. Mine is standard. Basically both are based on same chipset. So, why not buy standard one & overclock yourself.
If you don't have any plan for SLI or CrossFireX, buy HD 5870, because it is slightly faster than HD 6870. If you plan to setup SLI & CrossFireX in the future (if you plan to buy one by one), buy HD 68xx cards.

the scoring is insane! as expected of a high end desktop card! i am considering buying HD5850 too! lowest i can find is RM455... wondering if 3820tg can do this?
Better get HD 5870. No one have tried this on TimelineX yet. Do 3820TG have ExpressCard slot? If not, can use mini-PCIe port. Depend on the mini-PCIe port configuration, you can setup x1, x2 or x4 link.
