There are no official reviews coming out before the NDA is lifted on AMD Radeon HD 5870 by the end of September, so you would be excited to see the first performance figures right now.

According to the test of Czechgamer, Radeon HD 5870 is 25% lower or 95% faster than GeForce GTX 295 in different titles, which makes them about equal in gaming performance. Noticeably, when you set at 2560×1600 resolution and AA/AF, HD 5870 is much faster than the GeForce GTX 295.

As you see, the 3DMark Vantage performance of HD 5870 and HD 4870 X2 are of the same level, and HD 5850 is slightly faster than GTX 285.

Considering the driver is unofficial (Catalyst 8.66 Beta 2), the real performance of HD5800 series has yet to be confirmed.
