ATi Radeon 5770 Unigine Heaven Benchmark(No AA)

[shalom1181]

My 5770 was the bast card i ever owned, with a massive 1000mhz gpu 1300mhz memory over clock it preformed like a beast,

[excthour]

Many people think this benchmark is pro Nvidia and is tweak against AMD. It is not. It just uses tessellation heavily which is where the industry is heading including OpenGL. Tessellation is revolutionary similar to AA. Unfortunately, ATi/AMD architecture is weak in this area. It is a hardware design flaw. A single GTX 460 will easily beat two Radeon 5770 in crossfire or even a 5850 in future games that uses Tessellation. This flaw will be fix when AMD release Barts and Cayman GPU.

[Nimerbushnaq]

5770 is a good card? what can u compare it with from nvidia? ( even with no dx11)

[BounceDK2]

@Nimerbushnaq It's a brilliant card.

[Nimerbushnaq]

@BounceDK2 nice.. im thinking of getting a new pc and sli it with 9600gt for physx and save money and power instead of a 470 xD

[Droogie128]

@Nimerbushnaq GTX260'ish. Pretty good card for the money, or it was before the GTX460 :P

[therealwouter]

@Nimerbushnaq its a fuckin good card if you look at price/quality

[Nimerbushnaq]

@therealwouter  allrady got gtx 460 xD

[TJbatmankillaTJ]

@Nimerbushnaq It's a good low end card. It's compared with the GTS450/GTX550 Ti, some where inbetween on some games. Some games it gets better or worse FPS than the Nvidia Cards I mentioned.

[furynotes]

Oh crude the 5770 is only almost twice as fast my 3850 that have for over two years in this benchmark. Of course i'm running at the same settings except dx10 and I have 2.0 version of the heaven benchmark. Note: I have a q9400 @ 3.4gh and 4gigs of ram running win7 pro 64bit. Score for benchmark 376

[tulloman]

why no AA?

[Ahoydizzle]

@tulloman He did another video with 8x AA. I guess this is a comparison video.

[keiki646]

10.3 driver is out and you should download it.

[Mewzyc]

my computer doesnt like Heaven Benchmark lol, it caused the blue screen.

[PrecisionEngineered]

That engine is a doozie on any card. That's decent performance for a mid-range card.

[SynodCenturion]

framerates below playable. below 30.

5770 is not strong enough to perform tesselation.

And remember, this unigine test is without, extra characters... non destructible environment, no AI, just the environment in a static image.

Now imagine to put this in a shooter or RPG or whatever. 5770 cannot handle any extra.

Dont underestimate the Power that is needed for DX11 !!!

[bequinta1]

@SynodCenturion

Yeah good point, but this engine hasn't been optimized for playable games yet. If someone was going to utilize this engine for game purposes, they would put A LOT of time into making it do what you mentioned. We wont see a game looking this good for a while only because we can only handle static images at this point. Now dual 5970's wouldn't have an issue running a Unigine based game :D

[SynodCenturion]

@bequinta1,

Indeed, 2 5970's. About the the optimizing thingy, the unigine engine is very well optimized for the GPU. using full GPU load, and no CPU at all. thats what i call a fully optimized GPU engine. put in AI, characters, etc... costs even more... but than the CPu will be used. it's just that they show how much tesselation requires. And atm no normal consumer product can Handle that. Dx11 will take a while for taking effect :P

[bequinta1]

@SynodCenturion

Ok I get it. So with that out of the way, I am building a new budget rig. Its going to be a Core i5 Quad Core, but for the video card, should I get lets say, a GTX 260, or get the 5770 for DX11 support? Since DX11 is in its early stages, is it worth it at all at this point? The 260 preforms better, but I feel like I need DX11 support! How long do you think it will be before games start utilizing it enough to consider buying a dx11 ready card? Call of Pripyat didn't convince me!

[SynodCenturion]

@bequinta1,

At this point, nor this year,,, maybe only Crysis 2 may deliver the visuals u are waiting for. Call of Pripyat is not really using the tesselation. they say they are using it, but it has even less polygons/sec than Crysis Warhead. when u rly feel the need for DX11 5770 is not going to do the job. Nvidia is offering better Driver support, optimized software support for games, incl PhysX etc. configure ur rig, with GTX260 and wait half a year when Nvidia comes out with there line.

[bequinta1]

dude thanks a lot. That actually is really helpful! I've been bouncing back and fourth between the two for quite some time now but I think you won me over lol. You had a lot of good points there. Well, the 260 it is!

[SynodCenturion]

Np, mate.

I have a lot of xp with systems, and ofcourse my own xp with ATi and Nvidia.

Support (drivers and software) is one of those very important things when u buy Hardware. (in my opinion). especially if I need to pay money for it. doesnt matter how much or how less.

When in march Nvidia introduces there high-end, in july or august they will introduce more cheaper versions of there cards, And in that time new games will better support DX11 in terms of visuals Good Luck, u wont regret it

[ShaunDavidCarter]

@SynodCenturion so you're positive they are going to introduce cheaper versions of the GTX 480 and 470

[killerclown789]

Metro 2033 uses a lot of DX11 features including tessellation and the 5770 performs really well on it even with the game being more optimized for nVidia cards.

[SynodCenturion]

@killerclown789

Yeah..they say that too with alien vs predator.. dont believe anything what is written.

For real-real tesselation..the 5770 is not gonna do the job.

[killerclown789]

I think you should get a 5850.

[biplav91]

isnt 30 frame rate playable in games excpet in shooters

[djkulikov]

this video card cost 170

[svampebob007]

this card is awesome i didn't have much room in my case so i buy this card and its awesome take very little power but i must agree that its not the fastest... going to bye the 5970 next year :P

[zeldacuz]

my laptop got 42.1 fps with the same settings as you. =/

[tonyofthenc]

pix or it didnt happen

also unless you payed 3 grand for it, which is a waste of mony cus you can get a desktop with the same specs for 1.5 to 2 grand now

and no laptop gpus support dx11...

[arcticf0x8]

And I have a VERY similar PC as Rapkapp, and I only payed about $900 for mine.

So how many thousands of dollars did you waste on your laptop?

[zeldacuz]

@arcticf0x8

2, I have the money for it though.

That doesnt even compare to my $8000 Desktop:

Core i7 975 @ 4.2 GHz

Dual 5970's

12 gigs 1866Mhz ram

2x250 gig ssd's in raid 0 / 2 terabyte Hdd

[arcticf0x8]

Congrats, I don't care.

[torentmonkey]

tell me it's 8000$ after 2 months ;) then it will be 5000$ , after 6 montsh 3000$ and so on , wasted money

[zeldacuz]

@torentmonkey

Actually funny thing is, I bought the system premade and for some odd reason all the money got put back into my account, free $8000 computer ^^

[zeldacuz]

@torentmonkey

Also my computer is future proof for years and years to come.

[torentmonkey]

Till january when the nvidia gtx300 series will show up

[zeldacuz]

@torentmonkey

I'll buy a pair of those with the money I saved on the computer then. Even though it will be unecessary as this rig will play anything that will come out for the next 3 years on max.

[fuel77777]

if you have money.. u wouldt be viewing youtube.

[zeldacuz]

@fuel77777

Well the fact that I am, proves you wrong.

[N2K10]

the fact that you are, proves your a hater. faggot.

[DefinitelyPaul]

$8000 for that is rather pathetic.

i7 927: $950

5970 x2: $1300

12GB of 1866MHz: $720

2x 250GB SSD: $1200

1x 2TB HD: $200

Total: $4400 + mobo cost + disc drive cost + case cost + OS cost + aftermarket cooling for CPU cost

So it should total $5000, not $8000. Not that you have that setup anyway.

And the setup posted is good. Mine is an x4 955 3.2GHz, a 5770, 4GB of ddr3 1333MHz, a 500GB hard drive, and I plan to upgrade to 5770 xfire.

[mypet33]

lol Ati 5770 is crazy its allready in the future it run DX11 and Gtx cannot do that

[25skillo]

can i use this videocard to evga 780i motherboard

[madzane94]

wow just wow! what is that bench supose to be, som high dx 11 gfx engine?

[paskii5]

what do u guys suggest...

to get toxic 4890 or 5770 ????

[arvutihull]

5770.

[sp4zumz]

5770

[silenceyouidiot]

4890, it'll get better fps in most if not all games.

[Tazul6]

guys what dshould i get 260 or 5770??

[grey2fox]

The 5770 I suppose is future proof with DX11 and are pretty good at power saving on idle and don't have that much heat issues. You can go for the next generation or go back 2 generations as I think the GTX 260 only supports DX10 (not even 10.1!). Check out the benchmarks for the 5770 as they compare it to some Nvidia GPUs.

[Tazul6]

thanks i think ill get the 5770 even tho im suing a nvidia based board that shouldnt limit my performance should it?

[grey2fox]

As long as the connections meet the requirement then it should be fine. Some use ATI certified mobos with Nvidia cards and the other way around but some have had problems using Sli with Crossfire-ready boards, though technically you shouldn't have any problems.

[killerclown789]

5770 obviously

[canda1986]

5770 x2

[arcticf0x8]

5770, the GTX 260 is only DX10, so the 5770 will be more future proof.

[fjmi]

ati is never "future proof" the driver support is in my optionen very lousy.

[marland66]

Nice! DX 11 looks great!

[games2007]

Also... I think something's wrong because while using 1 of my two Radeon 5770s with only 4x Anisotropy I get 30 fps as my score on 1600x900...

I have a core i5 and Radeon 5770 overclocked (both of them)

The Radeon 5770 is overclocked about 10%, and the Core i5 is at 3.4ghz.

[MTAValhalla]

Better. For exact i should run the test over.

-Rapkapp

[SnipBeats]

thx for sharing man :) what are the scores in dx10 btw? better or worse?

[games2007]

they would be better in dx10
