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

[PGdude]

Do people not read threads or they just look at the last page now?

There's no such thing as a last page, with the rate at which this thread grows


I kid, but you have a point. I tend to read a few pages beforehand and then recheck the last once done.

init, they don't seem to be out there to fudge anyone over unlike a certain other company. it will (if they are the victors of this generation) show that nice guys don't always finish last. think i am turning into a ati fanboy since replacing my dead 8800gtx with a 4870 1gb, so please excuse my "fannage".

Some more pictures...

 

[Buckster]

I think it looks great

wonder if its enclosed like that to reduce temp of the VRMS ?

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

750w enough for 2 or an x2 5870?

God I hope so. I want to run a x2 on a 620!

(Assuming the rest of the system doesn't use more than 400w than it will be OK.)

If that graph is right then oh my gentle jesus...........

I wonder what kind of planet crushing performance the 5870x2 will manage? I dont think I'll bother waiting to see what Nvidia do if these perform that well.

Nvidia are gonna have to have something special instore, no regurgitated cards with a new name this time.

Can't see that many people wanting to read through all 1650 replies

I did 8(.

if the low lvl cards are that powerful then nvidia could be in a world of hurt if they just add 10.1 to g200 series, but you never know with them it could get very interesting between them both.

I bet nvidia already has some cards ready to release to go up against these new ATI cards.......
Nvidia have always released a card/s within a few weeks to match or beat whatever ATI puts out...

In crysis at least a 5870 beats a 295gtx,

Im thinking a 5850 will beat 285gtx in crysis then.

Will crysis be playable at 5760x1200 with 5870x2 with no AA?

 

[queamin]

yes but the point i getting at if the low end are around 4850 speeds with dx11 i not sure renaming will help them this time

Does it though, im taking that benchmark with a large ocean of salt for now

I cant see that benchmark against the crossfire 4890's and the gtx295 being right, it seems to contradict the other rumours of 1.4/1.8 more performance than a 4870.

where did that crysis graph come from anyway i cant find any source for it, just that link to russian site showing a post found on a chinese site that dosnt actually contain the corrosponding info at all.

The new countach (5770) and corvette (5750) cards seem to be pretty good if the performance estimates are correct.

Repost.
