GeForce GTX 480- Worth upgrading from Radeon HD 5870?

Our NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 sample got a bit delayed in reaching us. We figured that almost everyone interested in this card has probably read everything about it- such as its new architecture and its heat/noise levels. Thus what we decided to do was take the card head-to-head with the ATI Radeon HD 5870 as many of you already have a card based on ATI’s fastest GPU, and give you an idea on whether you should think about “upgrading” or not. We’ve thrown in a bit of overclocking as well, as many of the new Radeon HD 5870 cards come overclocked out of the box.
