Just wondering if any other owners of the Diamond card are around. There are STILL no reviews of the card on the net, which is amazing to me!

Thanks a bunch for your responses SirCumsized. That's precisely the kind of info I was looking for, a first hand experience. I'm not too concerned about how far the 5870 OC's (which from what I read is not too impressive with it comes to OCing), so long as there's the possibility that I can...

Okay cool, exactly what I was thinking :). Thank you for your responses.

I actually posted a separate thread about this, but I thought I'd drop a question in here since this one's real active. I recently ordered my Diamond 5850 and heard good things about these cards OCing in general. However there are many individuals on various forums who say that the card OC'ed...

Right, but unless I am mistaken, those numbers compare the 2 cards at Stock speeds, not an OC'ed 5850 vs. a Stock 5870. So my question remains. BTW TY for responding.

Showing that a 5850 OC'ed to just 850-870 core will match and even surpass a 5870 at stock, then I go on forums and...

Hello, I just ordered my Diamond 5850 off tigerdirect, which seems to still have some in stock.. though they come at $289.99. Anyways, anyone had any experience with this specific brand? I wanted to know what kind of OC's people have been getting with them, and so forth. Thanks! P.S. I was...

I just ordered my Diamond 5850 off of TigerDirect, which seems to still have some in stock, priced at $289.99 though :/. No tax or shipping costs, luckily. I couldn't resist , my 8800gtx finally made its way out of my case for a good $80 in my pocket, and I couldn't pass up selling it, it served...
