A Good Review Of ATI 58xx Series

[OLDPHART]

Good review of the ATI 5800xx, A pair of 5850's in Xfire amazing, but can't wait for the ATI 5890x1GB to turn up. But if you can't wait and you have the cash, pair of 5850's Xfire look's mighty tempting £400 compaired to £600 5870'S Xfire. LoL Saving you £200 to keep you supplied in beer and pizza's for a whole weekend, while you get your jollies gaming with your 5850's in Xfire(why don't they have a drooling smilie lol)

Thats a very good review as it gives 5850 benchies to and at the relevant resolution which indcates which card you need depending on your screen size both now and in the future.

Only the game crysis gives people with single card solutions a problem as they do not achieve playable frame rates at 1920x1200 and above unless you go for the ultimate setup and the higest cards available, namely £600 of 5870 to really be happy. So on this one game you need a serious rig. Otherwise a 4890 or if you own a 285/275/4870x2 then you will not really need to upgrade I would suggest.

Grrr...just as I'd resigned myself to buying a 4890 and saving some cash this comes along and shows just how nice the 5850 is...decisions decisions!

I like their reviews, they always seem to use loads of games compared to everyone else, its always the usual lot in the other reviews, Crysis, COD 4, Far Cry 2 etc...., its like you've read one review, you've read them all.

I read the first one, then quickly read the last lot to see if the frames in the games differ, then i just read their conclusions.

those are only simulated figures for the 5850s, don't think their is a legit review up yet?

Always get the most GPU you can afford.

Bigger is definately better, and it will last you longer in the long run anyway.

I'd rather pay £200 and overclock it.
