The numbers prove what we already knew, that is, there really isn't much performance difference when the three Radeon HD 5870s' clock-speeds are so similar.
Ultimate performance is still availed by using a dual-GPU card.

Decent frame-rates again. Radeon HD 5870s are comfortably faster than the GeForce GTX 285, but fall back a bit when judged against the price-comparable GTX 295. Radeon HD 5970 is streets ahead.
