I bought the 5970 because I feel it gives me the best performance over time. I don't like upgrading cards often. It fit in my budget so money wasn't much of an issue (of course I would have liked it cheaper). I felt it has the most robust build. It's not quiet, but not excessively loud either.

I can run any game in eyefinity at max setting and it doesn't break a sweat (so far).

I got a 5870 because the 5770 isn't really powerful enough to drive 3 screens at 5040x1050 resolution IMO, and the 5970 was $800. The 5870 at $409 - $50 Bing cashback brought the price down to $360 at Tigerdirect.
