Reading on you realize that this doesn't seem to affect the smaller Juniper cores where are the BREAD AND BUTTER of DAAMIT. So this not really hurting them that much, whereas when Nvidia had issues, it affected their entire line.

...this doesn't seem to affect the smaller Juniper cores where are the BREAD AND BUTTER of DAAMIT...

...aka the 5700 series.

I talkin bout the 5800 series, which IS being affected, hence their very low availability.

Reading is fun.

But you do understand what winny trying to say right arc? Most people would go for the lower end 5700 series, and since that has no (less?) issues, it wont really affect bottom line that much.

Good to see reading is fun, Capn is a reader XD

Whilst the 'Halo effect' is good for adding to consumer interest, most ppl won't buy 58xx BUT the reviewers and the high end gaming rigs by your alienwares, etc all point to the HD5xxx series being 'THE SH1T" so DAAMIT already has the 'Halo Effect' in effect. So really with the high availability of their 57xx parts, they are still looking good. The naysaying has less of a leg to stand on in this instance than Nvidia had in theirs.

I am looking at the 58xx issue as separate and apart from everything else because that is what I would buy,
and this issue would make the price of those cards higher. It matters not to me what 'the masses' will go for.

I still feel compelled to wait until January to see what nvidia's response would be like. Not to say that the upgrade bug wont biite and bite HARD lil later this month...

W1nTry · « **Reply #86 on:** November 02, 2009, 10:28:56 AM »

The only thing is there is not official release date on Nvidia's response... so that wait could well be till March 10.

W1nTry · « **Reply #88 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:00:16 PM »

Use 2x 5870 when available or 4x5770 XD

MessiaaH · « **Reply #89 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:59:56 PM »

yea was thinkin that, but d 5870s scarce too, and 4x5770 go be expensive , especialy if i liquid cool dem.

W1nTry · « **Reply #90 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:26:13 PM »

I don't really think you'll need to water cool the 5770, remember they are already smaller cooler parts than their parents. You could perhaps use better air cooling via addin coolers but otherwise I think it is more likely unnecessary.

Kraeoss · « **Reply #91 on:** November 07, 2009, 09:09:15 AM »

but imagine the amount of stress they could take then...

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #92 on:** November 09, 2009, 05:18:37 AM »

rv7xx hits a serious oc wall at a certain point regardless of how good your cooling is. Im doubt that rv8xx will be that much different.

Like all a we miss this one today...

5970 review iwmc.

"There are two things that become very clear when looking at our data for the 5970

1. It’s hands down the fastest single card on the market
2. It’s so fast that it’s wasted on a single monitor"

...and talk about 'mandingo' length...

GTX 295, 5970, 5870, 5850, 5770
