Apparently 5890 to have 15% improvement over 5870.

 

[Hotwired]

No one managed to get round to doing a dual 4890, wonder if the 5990 will happen.

 

[Steveo1982]

15% improvement is worth waiting for. Just hoping theyre not gonna have the stock issues that the 5870 had at launch.

 

[Marine-RX179]

IMHO the 5890's performance should had been what 5870 offered considering the price...

Looks like ATI want more of our money...

 

[steve258]

well you know what they say, no competition and all that.

Can we keep the personal attacks out of it guys? Tit-for-tat sniping just makes you look as bad and ruins a good thread

On topic:
Hopefully Fermi will put Ati back into the "we can do as good for less" situation it was with the 4xxx series. Really no matter which team you prefer, having the Green team back in the game has got to be good for the industry and the consumer.

Yeah, looks ike fermi is going to suck a big one, shame was hoping for some ATI price drops.

Thats a bit OTT mate. Doesn't make you look good at all

LoL, just another EMO troll, ignore it.

Still hoping it wont suck, having a 5970 myself would mean better drivers for me, instead of just bringing out another expensive card.

I just LOVE the double standards on this bit of the forum

Stop grinning that guy really hurt my feelings!
Lol! I can see your point though...

I just think it's because that guy is seriously disliked (more than me), and he forgot the funny part of his post.

 

[rolypolyman]

Perhaps there will be a bit of role reversal with Ati having the slightly better cards and more expensive with Nvidia being slightly behind but cheaper.....NAH! NOT going to happen!! LOL.

 

[Rroff]

It'll be interesting to see what the 5890 does price wise... whether ATI will knock the 5850, 5870, down a bit or place it above the current 5870 price... it could end up at both the same price and performance position as Fermi :S

 

[rolypolyman]

Well the 4890 was £220 when it came out so a 5890 for £220 then......NAH Not going to happen!! LOL.

 

[rhys216]

It could but I doubt it, Ati has more margin to play with, and will no doubt want to increase % market share.

 

[555BUK]

To get that extra 15% all you need to do is overclock the standard 5970 to 5870 clocks. This is probably all ATI will do if this 5890 is ever released.

 

[rhys216]

^^^
Doesn't RV870 have some redundancy that could be utilised as yields improve. Obviously clock speeds will increase as the process is improved on.

 

[Aedus]

The funny thing is that if the 470 does have a 20% increase over a 5870 and the 5890 has about a 15% increase, there could be a nice little price war on between the 2 cards.

Me likey price wars

 

[fizzle-187]

Wow, that looks like a reliable source

Why would anyone believe what you post rhys216? You are infamous for your fanboyism on this forum.

Shouldn't you be getting ready for school anyway?

ahahha

 

[psychas]

nice one maybe it will bring the prices down for 5850 & 5870

Its pretty funny, at least I hope you can see the funny side, when making fun of Rroff is perfectly fine but a single word about an overt ATI fanboy gets scorned.
