DAAMIT HD5xxx (Evergreen)

That's the entry level 5870. The higher end model has 6 display outputs and 2gb of ram on board. That's a good debut proce though. Amazon is almost certain to have a lower price. Newegg doesnt so you any favours.

close to twice as fast as a GTX285 , i feel that the nvidia will beat it  slightly but be much more expensive and power hungry.  ATI's die size went from 280mm to 350ish mm after doubling the number of stream processors, Nvidia's will go from 400ish to a higher number probably , and not be able to compete on price. 

Looks like a round of ATI domination unless nvidia manages a miracle.

like ah man was jus hittin' the refresh button Anantech page boi. lol. anyway, nvidia always had my money. yes, i am a fanboy .

hmmm good performance. Will upgrade eventually, not enough performance to get me excited enough to do a quick upgrade. 4870x2 does too well against it. 2 5870's is another story though...but the price.

So wha yuh REALLY trying to say?

This is exactly my point though.  I mean, if one was to fall off a truck somewhere then hell yeah I'd get it.
Anything below a HD4870X2, well, these new HD58xx's are no-brainers for a super-upgrade.

Still, the PRICE though.  Men get spoil by falling prices over the last few months.

[Arcmanov]

WOW!!!  THAT is what I call a performance review!!!

Nearly every current game was tested there.  Can't complain.  I think every question
was answered for me performance-wise.



...and to allay your fears about power consumtion Noob,  its actually better with this gen.
Imagine TWO 5870s in Crossfire actually draws less power than ONE 4890.
The power draw of a single 5870 at full load is nothing to scoff at either.  Its certainly better than my 4870 X2,
even while achieving just about the same performance, and a little more in a few cases.

Nice, very nice indeedy.

[MessiaaH]

Boy, if ah X2 going and perform ah lil better than 5870 Crossfire, then JAH!

I juss playing d waiting game for that X2

Wow this is a must get oui, power consumption was a big deal for me, but i want to see the X2 performance to price ratio first.

Altogether GG ATI.

If the 5870 is 378$ ruffly, say 350$ when prices drop, and the X2 is 550-600, say 550$ when price drops. then 2 * 5870 CF = 700$ Minimum vs Sinlge X2 = 550$ for same, maybe even better performance? The Performance ro price ration is going to be sick, and im almost sure, a Single X2 will draw less power then 2 * 5870s.

Just look at the previous gen, single 4870X2 blow out 2 * 4870, at lest cost, less power draw. 5800 series is no different.

Crossfire Review

Also, these fellers below, have to most useful benchmarks of all, this is what i check to see what card performance really like, becuase it includes a very important mostly committed bench....MINIMUM FPS!

http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=842 check it out

Edit:

Well guys, as u can see, is not juss about trying to get bess fps and actually run ah game, dis series of card bring we back to d days of gpus meaning what they suppose to be meant for, Image Quality, and as u can see here http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=842&pageid=3 , ati has won this round.

[Arcmanov]

Yeah...but if I had to sacrifice image quality to increase fps, I really wouldn't have a problem with that.

[MessiaaH]

thats just it, ati has added the image quality whiles maintaining good fps.

EGAD!!!

I just saw that pic on TechReport myself.  LOL @ 'Mandingo'. (Sounds like something I would say).
Only full towers need apply.  I can see that extending right down into a drive bay.

I can also see lots of full tower cases selling this Christmas.
