radeon hd 5870

bc2 is pretty weirdly optimized in general.

It is a PS3 port, and since the PS3 has a tank of a CPU, the PC version requires more CPU than GPU......

I need that X6 now.

the 6950 is a better card than the 5870 but not by much. specs are a toss up and benchmarks show that they are real close

Should be a great card. I myself would have gone with the newer technology 6950 which should have better noise levels as well as slight performance increase in most titles. Also, the crossfire scaling is better on the 6950. Finally, the possibility of still flashing the card to a 6970 is a welcome attribute.
