    Thank you very much AMD, Icrontic, PowerColor and people who voted. Really, I didn't expect it :)

    I'm curious, InfraRed. What software suites did you use to create your "circles" design? I liked your design, and I'd like to know how the circles, blur effects, and color gradient were created.

    Photoshop with custom defined brushes and variation in shape, scattering and some other settings (Brush engine). The picture consist from 4 layers. First one from the circles is blurred in some percents (I don't remember how much) and with reduced opacity, second one - the same but with smaller values and the top one has small amount of blur just for antialiasing the edges. All of the layers are in [Multiply] blend mode. The bottom layer is a background with some gradient applied to it - from red to green. After all it's an AMD/ATi :) And the circles..well, the idea was Eye + Infinity (Eyefinity), that's why the bokeh effect.

    I have a licensed key for the Creative Web Suite in my office, so do I for Flex Builder 3. Although even if I didn't I still could have used Photoshop as a 30-days trial, right? At least there's a download page on Adobe site https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop

    I didn't buy it myself, but my employer did it...so much hate and envy in this world :(.
    I'm not for one card, I can afford whatever videocard I want, sorry to disappoint you. It's just the prize and even more the fact that AMD guys chose my entry, I'm some kind proud of it, because I love AMD. All CPU's I've ever owned (and still own) are made by AMD, just see my signature.

    So many great CPUs http://hwbot.org/community/user/i.nfrar.ed?tab=submissions :)

    Thanks for the rundown! I appreciate it. I thought you were using the multiply blending effect, and it's nice to hear that was indeed what you were using. Very cool. :D

    I got it. Everything good, I payed only VAT. The card will fit nicely in the other PC :)

    Thanks again!

    Well, the card is officially dead, after trying to stabilize 1200MHz on the core :( The voltmod of the memory went wrong. Too bad, it was very good card with excellent silent cooler, good job PowerColor. I've always liked PCS+ versions, although it's pity that the brand is not available in Bulgaria.
    The best result I have is from pretesting http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1079192_i.nfrar.ed_3dmark06_radeon_hd_5670_15077_marks

    Wow, what an input, really like it :D
    It died young (didn't use it at all). The only thing I'm sorry about is that it did it before I could actually make use of that core speed in benchmarks. It's not the first hardware part I kill, believe me :D.
