Discussion On The ATI Radeon 5*** Series Before They Have Been Released Thread

295 GTX 1790 MB card is £365. The high end ATi offering is £190 or around £220 for a 4870 Crossfire offering which still does not offer as high a performance as NVidia do.

Do this new card from Ati will probably only match the 295 for performance and will cost a little less and offer you non existant DX11.

Its not as if ATi are already the fastest and are going to offer something mind blowing now is it. There again Nvidia in some benchmarks have some kind of software advantage such as Crysis Warhead so the card is a limiting factor when games companies write for the card. Crysis Warhead is so much faster on Nv cards.

I hope these prices aint silly, someone should let them know a credit crunch is on at moment, & very few people can afford £300+ on a graphic/s card. Obviously Nvidia won't care about this, but ATI will hopefully have more sense.
 
Long time no see a graphic card that blows away the last generation as was the nvidia 8800 launch and the long time away ati 9700. Will now be this time with ATI´s next gen?

You can get xfire 4890's for around £260. That would offer better than 295 performance.

:rolleyes: I think you mean a recession. Credit crunch is just some stupid phrase they came up with to try and sensationalise the recession.

Credit crunch = increase in difficulty in getting loans and things on credit, not actually anything to do with a recession directly anyway.

/pedantic

Borrowed from 'neliz', looks very similar to a 1GB 4770.

Looks a small card compared to current high end ATI offerings :cool: lets hope small card = small energy consumption and heat given out :p

No indication it is 'the' high end. Rumours put the 180mm^2 chip (Juniper?) we've seen maybe one step below, something like HD4870 performance. Iirc AMD said something about 4 DX11 GPUs this year. We'll see.
