Do you think that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 is the fastest graphics card? Well, not really. The ATI Radeon 5970 really the fastest graphics card out there right now. The 5970 is a pair of 5870 GPUs on one graphics card with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. The only drawback is that the GPUs are down-clocked from 850 MHz to 725 MHz. O.K. Maybe it is not a fair comparison as it is two GPUs for the 5970 versus one for the 480.

While the card we are showing here is a production sample, ASUS assures us that it will be available in about 2 months or so.
