Someone said having Two HD 5870's in CrossfireX would actually be slightly faster than a single HD 5970? Is this true?
The HD 5870's have come down in price quite a bit since they were first released. Most models are now below $400. If I were to buy Two HD 5870's which brand would you recommend?
Some brands like Sapphire and MSI offer better coolers, factory overclocking, free software.
I was looking at this GIGABYTE HD 5870 with a 2oz copper PCB and Two cooling fans and a slight overclock.

Is an 850W PSU enough for Two HD 5870's in CrossfireX? Should I go for a 1KW?
