mine included.....
I wonder what the power draw is gonna be like?

I'll have to plug in a generator directly to this card?

This looks to be twice as fast as my current 4870 (at least) so that puts it square in my upgrade path.

The jump from 8800 - 4870 was really a baby one. Just clawed me back in the top 20 rigs but hardly a double in performance.

Throw up yuh 9800gx2 instead. Dunno what board taking kidneys these days nah.

rofl. i'll have to sell that too. dem tings real expensive. but i'll save my money for the Green Machine. they'll pwn all in their way.

Calm down Philo...

I think we all knew there would be pwnage. What is truly amazing here is that this 5870 is a SINGLE-GPU card,
which is pwning DUAL-GPU cards from the last gen so significantly.

I am truly impressed.

My question is: do we now truly have a card that can wtfpwn Crysis at any resolution?

Well look at that. Crysis Warhead is easily the most demanding game on the list and it is VERY playable on a single 5870. It will be interesting to see what graphzilla's response would be to all this.

i gone from net for a weekend and all this happen?

i expected great things from red team but HAWT DYAM! that is a fast as gpu!

Those cards kick ass, been reading all the concerns about the price premium, but with numbers like that, i think its worth it, rarely do you see, the new gen of cards, doubling the performance of the old gen. and there are some other things to note.

Better Power Consumption, Eyefinity, DX11, Havock Physics (Starcraft 2 uses this, its all over)

The eyefinity is a big boon for those with 24/30" monitors also, the 2560*1600 resolution kicks my current rig's ass. i dont know what amd do, but as can see in the benches, the 5870 handles that resolution quiet comfortably.

Note on 5870x2:

Amd say, they dont want the x2 to basically be 2 5870s stuck together, so the clocks on the x2 is going to be significantly faster than the single 5870. so d x2 wil blow out 5870 cf, JAH!

Edit:

AMD says another goal is to reduce the performance hit incurred when enabling AA/AF, so they doubled up on all the tech that produces these effects, so when you enable AA/AF you wont see a significant performance hit, and the benchmarks also reflects this. Nvidia's card suffered 40FPS drop with a raise in AA/AF whiles the ati card suffered only 15fps (See COD & L4D Benchies [2560*1600 res] )

Hmm well I guess i'll have to purchase a 5870... since the idea imho when upgrading video cards is to get at LEAST 2x the performance to make it worth your while... since i'm still sporting the old but venerated 8800GT==HD4670 (if I recall THG comparison) then i'd need at least the 5850 to make the transition worth the while.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #33 on:** September 17, 2009, 10:19:37 AM »

We need to see more numbers for a 5850. I think $300 is my limit for any one card. Hopefully i'll be able to run bastard crossfire with one of my 4870's

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #34 on:** September 19, 2009, 06:44:32 PM »

hmmm new sources believe that the hd5870 could retail for as low as $350. If so, I can seriously go ahead and handle myself a standard version.
