AMD is dominating the videocard news these days with its 5000-series graphics cards and the recent release of its Radeon HD 5970 is just adding fuel to the flames. OCC just published a review of the Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 OC and our roundup also includes a look at HD 5970 CrossFireX performance along with a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 card (also reviewed by OCC here). There's more video news surrounding the latest AMD cards with the Eyefinity Challenge coverage and a word on the shortages that have been plaguing the 5000-series cards. AMD's Athlon 2 X3 435 processor also gets covered (you can check out the OCCC review here).
