Just a sneak peak of what I'm working on :

mhhh im confused now the guy from overclock 3d says that you will not be able to voltage tweak his cards ? so can you or you cant ?

The card uses a new Volterra voltage controller so voltage tweaking support isn't here yet. The ASUS cards should have it though.

I can send you my data if you want to compile such a list? I have all the percentages ready.

Thanks Mr Krugga for that very informative list.

the 6950 is much bigger than a 5850/5870.

Think i'll be keeping my 5870 looking at these numbers. ><

 

[Helios1234]

the 6950 is much bigger than a 5850/5870.

It's 27.4 cm long but we have to remember that the XFX card is actually shorter than the reference HD5870.

the 6950 is much bigger than a 5850/5870.

That 5870 is non reference and appears to be the same size as a ref 5850. A reference 5870 is very slightly longer than the 6870. For comparison a reference 5850 is a full inch shorter than a reference 5870.

is the Width bigger?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Why? is width more important than length..

 

[hideki]

Looks like the Nvidia 500s keep their crown.
A bit of back and forward is good, will force each company to do better.

 

[gareth170]

Why? is width more important than length..

yes, when you've got a case with a side fan with a air duct on it which is next to the graphic card.

 

[Klo]

Why? is width more important than length..

Some studies I have read suggest that it.

Quick stock Heaven 2.1 bench, with my system at stock on the cat 10.12's

 

[Helios1234]

is the Width bigger?

Errm I didn't check but they looked to be the same width. The PCB doesn't protrude beyond the IO bracket by much.

It might just be the way I took the picture that makes it look different.

[Sayso]

Krugga any chance of fitting a 5850 comparison in your chart, or are the results with the 6870 to similar?
