Another excellent showing for multi-GPU setups. We can surmise that the Radeon HD 5770 is simply more efficient at cutting through workloads than the HD 5870, evinced by the higher scores at all three resolutions.
The assertion is indirectly confirmed by viewing the Radeon HD 4890 and HD 5850 numbers; the newer card, on paper, is much faster, yet the H.A.W.X benchmarks indicate otherwise.

Combined idle and load power-draw is higher than a single HD 5870's but significantly lower than the green-sided competition, to the tune of 101W when compared against also-two-card GeForce GTX 260.
