ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 Preview

looks like ghosties keeping his 4890

Some nice initial figures there.

This card won't be aimed at the GTX285 tho, the cards are both a different generation, different audience and different api, particularly Dx11.

This card can only really be aimed at the "GTX375" or whatever it turns out to be.

Comparing different generations is building up hopes.

im suprised one ones been wondering how they fold. ima decide if i wana go 5k or gt300 when there is decent comparisons about and i have a bit more money, for now good old 4850, unless the 4890's get a price drop soon

 

[tinytomlogan]

They will fold the same as the old ones untill Stanford redo the client to work with the new architecture I would have thought dude

 

[I Hunta x]

probably woulda hoped for 25%~ more ppd tbh, ill look out for results and get report back if i see any

 

[Mr. Smith]

So I f**k off for an age and come back to this? I guess the X2 variant might be exciting, or whatever the greens answer with.

I want a new gpu/rig!

 

[Hope]

I expected better than this, will stick to my 4850
