My HD5870 is on the way to my home [I had to hunt this damn thing...nearly every online shop is sold out...] (I needed to buy a new computer case for this beast, too. It's 2 centimeters longer than my "old" HD4870).

Man, I never thought that I'll buy a graphiccard just for a game. meh.

however: I hope that they'll release it on 12th january...would be a nice birthday gift
