Had just upgraded to the 6870 and found Black Ops was oddly lagging... even at min settings was very much confused.
Easily fixed however, just uninstalled AVG anti virus... fixed instanstly. Put settings back up to max and had a blast since.
This game rocks.. Now time for Mulitplayer Fun.
Sadly this did not fix the Medal of Honor Tier 1 crashes on single player, but the game is poor in comparsion anyway.
Catch you on the field.

450 watt Power Supply enough for 5850 and 6870? (Corsair VX450W)
While the 5850 and 6870 recommended a 500 watt power supply, I recently upgraded from a 4850 to a Sapphire HD 6870. I can confirm that my Corsair VX 450 watt runs it fine, even under the stress of games.
The corsair range are top quality PSU so don't just think a random cheap 450 watt will run these products, I would ALWAYS recommend paying a good amount for a good PSU, they are critical to the safety of your system. While you may spend a little more up front, you can guarantee they will last you years, not months. Infact the Corsair VX450W comes with a 5 year guarantee, so yes this will last and perform well.
From my own experience, I have had one cheap PSU die on me, while it did not take out any of my other components i feel that is only because i caught it in time. I was shocked to discover a very strong chemical smell coming from my PSU and immediately turned off the power. Considering how strong the chemical smell was, I am still left shocked. No more cheap PSU for me, please don't make the same mistake.
I can highly recommend the Corsair VX450W for the 5850, 6850 and 6870. It will run them with ease.
