Also, question rj; why get an OCed 5870 for $500 when you can get a stock one for about $80-100 less, then OC it yourself up to the same specs? He's planning to OC as it is.

As stated, not all that familiar with the capabilities of ATI Cards, but if they're similar to nVidia Cards, higher Clocked (binned) Cards will most certainly OC a lot better than a Vanilla Card, their is never a "guarantee" that Vanilla Cards will OC well.....I generally stick to the "Mid-OC'd" Cards, not the Highest Clocked available and not the Vanilla Cards.....its preference really. Some folks have great luck OC'ing Vanilla Cards and other folks cannot get even a min OC out of a Vanilla Board...roll of the dice really ;)
