Errr? Not really mate, it blows a GTX285 so my guess would be pretty good!

Do we have an official launch date for the 5 series yet?
I hear 24th September, is this anywhere near true (and is this UK)?
Got a little upgrade in mind for Windows 7, and my list seems to be growing all the time... a nice shiny 5870 would be nice

23rd here I do believe.

how come they are behind so much in some games like ut3? 295 still gets 30fps more.

2 of these run cooler than the x2 version will then by the look of it?
btw how long until AMD will have their site updated to check what PSU is recommended for 1-2 of these cards?

See this:
The NDA isn't going to be lifted till the 22nd/23rd, we still have four or five days to wait.
Soldato
Yeah but would have thought you would get info on how beefy a PSU you need before they are released.
Associate
All anyone can really offer right now is speculation. 5850 is supposed to be ~150Watts load and 27W idle. The 5870; ~188W load and 27 idle. These aren't concrete figures till the NDA is lifted.
Soldato
Then i assume 2 of those is too much for my PSU.. doh
Soldato
Probably not...
I have that same PSU, and it's officially rated by AMD as capable of running two 4870x2 cards (that's 4 RV770 GPUs). There's a small (~20%) power requirement bump in this generation, but it's still a fair bet that the PSU can still handle two RV870 GPUs. Four might be pushing it though...
Man of Honour
This maybe a slight daft question, but what is ATIs equivalent of physx/cuda?
Soldato
Havok/Open CL/DX11 Compute shader
seriously, does stream/CUDA really matter anymore? doesn't dx11 support physics and oCL within the spec? who'll write software for one or the other anymore when writing it for dx11 general comput will mean it works on ati and nvidia cards
Compute shaders/ocl should allow developers to use the gpu for non graphics related number crunching, just as cuda/physx.
Its better for customers that a general standard be adopted so we are not tied to a single manufacturer.
If nvidia had been happy to take just the credit for physx and cuda but made them completely open for all to use they would probably have been far more successful. Because of the tactics of nvidia as a company i think many have been wary of supporting it lest they then become completely tied to nvidia.
