Benchmarks for AT HD 5870

[littlepuppy]

holy crap, nice find mate. If those are accurate then that is very impressive, literally double the performance of a 285? that good

edit: although I would be interested to see its performance across a broader range of titles, hopefully the guys at czech gamer can come up with the goods again!!!

Was thinking just the same, if its true it is indeed very impresive.

5870X2 TDP of 376W

"Smokin"

this is why i went 1300w for future proof ability even though people were saying i would not need it,i knew the time would come soon

 

[Thebloop]

Yeah i will be holding out aswell.Firstly to see if any games actually need such power in the foreseeable future at my resolution and for the prices to go down...i will probably upgrade at the end of next year more than likely.Im not one for upgrading just because something is new and shiny if it's not needed.Looks very impressive though i must say.

Section 8/ Left 4 Dead 2 (Which should rly be an expansion)/ MW2/ Aion
Pritty much next genish

Crap/Source engine (HL2 released 2004)/Doom3 engine (Doom3 2004)/CryEngine 1 (FarCry 2004). Pretty much old gen.

 

[Rroff]

Don't think MW2 is doom3 engine*... and cryengine 1 can still pull off some pretty high end stuff with little modification... the architecture can be upgraded to newer rendering features without a massive overhaul in most cases.


* More like quake 3 engine... so like 1999 ish.

Highly modified, but yeah old. COD games run very well on all kinds of hardware.

Personally I like the look of the engine they use in COD4 (idtech3 with rewritten DX rendering front end) its much more believable and immersive than the flashy style over substance engines used in many games.

TF2 is a big ball of fun, you can't compare it's style to others

I wonder how it will handle ArmA2 and OPF2? I've stopped playing ArmA2 until more patches come out (just seen that 1.04 is out) and until I have a quicker card. (I'm assuming it's the GPU and not CPU which the game needs more of).

I love how the nvidia boys have the attitude: "ati's new SINGLE gpu card doesnt beat the nvidia DUAL gpu card that costs 2x as much, so its rubbish".

Seriously, take a backseat!

LOL I agree. They are crying so bad. I bet these will be the next ATI Fanbois when they all buy a 58xx series

 

[BoozerDawg]

So.... is there a confirmed date and price yet or is it still all "someone said this so thats that yada yada" ?

 

[Rroff]

How do you figure it will cost twice as much? 295GTX can be had for a little over £300 and the 5870 will be on sale for circa £300.

 

[Dave2150]

Everyone has to remember that these are the earliest drivers for the 5800 series, wheres the drivers used for the 295 are the end of line, perfectly mature drivers.

Id expect the ATI figures to increase 10-15% over the first few weeks/months.

 

[hardtarget]

I think the general concensus is yes. Certainly in CrossFireX. The GTX295 is already reduced by 30-50% in P55 motherboards with only 2 x 8x slots in Quad-SLi.

Sorry for asking another stupid question it's just I'm about to choose between the X58 and P55 chipsets and I'm worried if I where to buy either the new ATI5870 or the Nvidia295 that it could lose performance due to the P55 with it's single 16x PCI-E 2.0 lane with this in mind would I be better going X58? I will be using a single card just not sure which one, but I'm leaning towards the new ATI5870 and when funds permit probably a second card

 

[arc@css]

Yes the 295 manages to beat out the SINGLE gpu 5870 by a few percent and that difference can be made up with mature drivers making the 5870 a comparable card to the DUAL gpu 295. Some people will never be happy we have a card here that is offering close to 295 performance for less money what more do people realistically expect. Add in the lower power usage lower heat and none of us knowing how well a 5870 will oc and we have one hell of a card whats so hard to see and understand in that. Also a 5870 getting 100fps and a 295 getting 110 fps seriously who will notice i am still massively looking forward to my 5870X2 which will without doubt beat out the 295.

I'll be interested to sit back and read peoples' experiences before, if, I eventually buy one. I think I'd like to see them produce better minimum frame rates (though with an X2 it hardly matters 'cause it has enough power under the hood anyway) and a little less choppy fps. These are relatively minor points though.

 

[-=Vect0r=-]

Depending on your rig have you tried raising the fps limit, i did and it works a treat

How would raise the FPS limit using vsync? I thought 60Hz=60fps as limited by the LCD unless you have a snazzy flatscreen?

But if it can be done, how would you do it with BF2 in particular?

So would that mean performance would increase in games with newer drivers? If so thats amazing.
