iv'e just built my new computer, but i can't get my monitor to respond, i have a 16" monitor but i can only use the VGA adapter to fit into my HD 5770, every time i turn the computer on the monitor does nothing, i've tried it out on THREE other 16" monitors i have but the exact same thing happens, my specs are:
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! when i try to customise my rig i see this: 1 GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5870 grafische kaart [meerprijs € 80,00 of € 3/maand1] Dubbele CrossFire™ 1 GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5870 grafische kaart [meerprijs € 480,00 of € 23/maand1] Dual CrossFire™ 1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5870 graphics card [meerprijs € 480,00 of € 23/maand1] is the dual crossfire already dual card? or is it just 1 card which u can upgrade with another card to run them together ?
How come there are two different XFX 5870s? If you go to the website, there is one with the fan closer in the middle. Anyone know what the difference is other than fan location?
what do you mean? that card is pci-e so i t will fit on like all the the motherboards.. its your case you gotta worry about making sure its long enough
wow im so not sober my bad lol will this fit my haf 922 mid tower or will i have to remove one of my fan? the chassi is kinda big but the fan is huge the one at the bottom, would like it if you knew if it fits or not thanks for your respond :)
Anyone know the name of this tune? Great music and nice video. Maybe one day I'll have a set up like this. If anyone know the name of this tune, please reply.
your card is worth $250, the 5870 is $420 and up. and the difference is a third monitor support ( which not many people use) and direct X11 (which is only supported by an updated version of Windows Vista and Windows 7. other than that, the core clock speeds are pretty similar, I would say its only worth it if you're upgrading from a lower performance card than the HD4890. so you should just stick to yours for now.
@crissglitch666 I swear i do...it came with my Alienware Aurora. But i never touched it, its in the computer and it was already installed. I just checked pc information. Proof...
Well Nvidia are behind the game now with the release of the HD 5890, that is now the fastest gfx card on the planet. Will retail for around 600 US. I think I will buy two of these instead though to replace my 8800 gtx xxx when the prices drop for xmas that is!
the 5870x2 is the fastest since if you think of it it has close to 5 Teraflops.. hell thats a supercomputer speed (almost.. but pretty damn powerfull)
dude the gtx 295 is a dual gpu the 5870 is not being benchmarked against that , it smokes the gtx285 i and i know i just upgraded from that to the ati , but the most important thing is windows does not use SLI in normal use to u are only using one gpu with the gtx 295 so u infact only have a gtx270 , also ati cards work better in windows
ryotaryuu what are u smoking , I owned the Nvidia cards and they are ok and ati has issues with cross fire in games so this card runs so much better then any single nvidia gpu out there ,also the ati card runs better on windows 7 just in everyday use ,
You are right. The 5870 is a major leap forward for the 4870. You are also right about the driver issue. I used to run all ATI but got so sick of waiting for driver fixes. Look the only point I was trying to make was NVIDIA cards over all are a much better choice, especially for enthusiasts like me.
Let me correct myself. Seems alot/all are having problems with low test scores and low performance with the new AMD cards. Some are getting as low as 11500 with a 5870. So ya, $100 less for less performance seem right. Like I said GTX295 is still better.
GTx 295 is a dual gpu, radeon 5870 and 5850 are single gpu cards, u cant compare them until the 5870x2's come out, and this single card is almost as powerful as nvidias gay ass 295 so u have no idea what your talking about
Wether it is a dual GPU card or not it still compares to the 5870. Not to mention I said the GTX295 is an over all better card. Which it is. I get over 22000 3DMark scores with my 295, all the 5870's i've seen barely get 14000. Plus alot of people are saying they just aren't getting out of their 5870's what ATI are claiming the card does. I have forgoten more about PC's then u'll ever know.
wow that was a cool thing to say at the end you must think that your really awsome, and the reason people arent seeing performance from the new cards is because ati is coming out with the new drivers for them.
even when the 5870x2's come out you couldn't compare it to the gtx295 because the 295 is a year old and you would have to wait for the gt 3xxx series dual core gpu's to come out.
yes you are right about that, im very interested to see how well the gt3xx series performs, hopefully the price wont be too high and if they are good i can get one :]
I'll just point out that, nvidia, seems to target more on benchmarking then actual real world use. Im not going to say ATi has not done so, but nvidia has repeatedly been caught cheating in 3d mark with workaround in their drivers. And yes I would keep my $100 for a max of 10% of a performance hit. They even rebranded the 8 series to the 9 series.......
You can get 50k 3dmark points and still not be able to play tetris at 5fps. It was just a bad benckmarking program.
Every HD5870 i've seen scores around 15000 3DMark Vantage. I get 22000 with my GTX295 so you figure it out. The Fermi cards will be out in les than two months and will make the AMD card look like handheld consoles. Just like AMD/ATI CPU's are lightyears behind NVIDIA, And let me guess, you run a 9800GTX right?
ATI's policy = each card will never ask for more than 300watts (unless u oc)~
so if you have 2 cards at 100% loads, they will not need more than 600 watts i guess~ ;p
so if you want to crossfire, get a PSU with at least 700watts~
i'm using 650watts for cf and the psu gets very hot cos its max psu load~ if i have 850watts instead, the psu will be cooler cos its not 100% for the psu~
If that monkey was on crack with a razor blade in one hand and a graphing calculator in the other. ATI has always been ahead of the curve since the AMD acquisition.
I wanna get the new 5870 card but ill only get it if it comes with lifetime warranty. anyone know if this card comes with the lifetime warranty or any other 5870 manufacture comes with it?
Most ATI manufacturers dont offer a lifetime warranty but I know XFX does. XFX offers a "double lifetime warranty" or something like that where if you sell the card used, the new owner can still use the card's lifetime warranty.
nothing to worry about u don't need it. Not DX11 games that don't suck for another 5 months minimum and the card doesn't really crush the comp in DX10 and 10.1
the 4850 is still a great card. I also hear it overclocks great. It is essentially an under clocked 4870 and the 4890 is a higher clocked 4870 anyway.
The clock a chip is given is based on the quality of the chip it's self. Every one will be different some 4850s could OC to 4870 speeds but not all of them.
You know, ATI did an incredible job in outperforming Nvdias GTX295. How come Nvidia isn't showing what they have, they're doing nothing at all, no advetising, they don't even talk about it. The COs at Nvidia must be pissed off. If Nvidia is to make a come back, they better have a quadcore GPU, but I don't think they're going to make it.
Its insane whats going on right now, Nvidia is strugling, ATI marged with AMD and they seem to be doing just fine. The new series 5000 is unbelieveable, they beated their own cards, the 4870x2 pairs with it, barely. If they manage to make a x2 version I don't even know how much perfomance we can get. Even in crossfire, how well does it do, need to see some benchmarks fast. Can't wait to see what happens next year. I now own the newest LED LCD tv, blue-ray is amazing on a decent card.
Yeah, I'm actually kinda sad. I think I'll stay faithful, as it were, to nvidia for now and see what they pull with the new 300 series. But right now I'm definitely considering trying to get an ATI card.
yeah they're gonna release an x2 version of this half october and i'm gonna buy i guess.first i wanted a saphire radeon 4870 x2 but the 5870 x2 is gonna eat that :p
BTW replying to everyone's comments DOES NOT make you seem smarter. So I suggest you find some other means to try to feal good about yourself. Possibly going outside?
xd its a constant fucking battle.. i think ati is overall the best though, the price of the 4890 for performance is just over price as the gtx260, yet it performs alot better for example
checked out some bench reviews, these things are nasty! close to and sometimes beats the 4870x2 and GTX295 on a single GPU! wtf! I like that ATI has the initiative to release the first Dx11 GPU and keep prices competitive, will force Nvidia to drop prices, yay for competition! Guess we'll wait to see how the 300's perform but either way these new cards seem awesome!
Well remember when nvidia had the monopoly of the video card market and ATI was lagging behind? they overpriced cards like there was no tomorrow. Just saying it will keep prices in check which is nothing but good for us.
not maxed out cause the cards can support resolutionss over 5120x3600 so they wont get thathigh frame if u max out all the settings but yes at resolutions like 1920x1200 if ur luckey
And that's where your wrong.With 3 (24") monitors, Eyeinfinity expands the picture to 5760x1200 and there's actually minimal performance drop while doing it.Treating the 3 monitors as one monitor allows the card to more efficient in producing the display. P.S You said 5120x3600, im guessing that your retarded or know nothing about display resolutions.With 3 monitors and Eye infinity you only add the resolution width of the monitor,because the height will stay the same. 1920x1200 X 3 = 5760x1200.
im not talking about 3 1920x 1200 monitors in a row im talking about the new screens comming out that have 4 2560x 1600 built in two one so dont try being clever as i didn't say anything about 3 screens or Eyeinfinity
wow loving all the fanboys tbh as long as it is good and cheap and provides good competition against nvidia to keep prices averagly good then who cares

You know, ATI did an incredible job in outperforming Nvdias GTX295. How come Nvidia isn't showing what they have, they're doing nothing at all, no advetising, they don't even talk about it. The COs at Nvidia must be pissed off. If Nvidia is to make a come back, they better have a quadcore GPU, but I don't think they're going to make it.

They're not. Not for a long time at least. Only 5% of the current GT 300 series being developed actually work, the rest fail.
I use nVidia so I'm a little bit annoyed with this, and I don't know if my mobo supports Crossfire, otherwise I'd probably switch to ATI right now.
I prefer AMD to Intel, and Nvidia to ATI. Ironic considering ATI uses AMD chips, heh.
WhatTehFux 2 years ago
Its insane whats going on right now, Nvidia is strugling, ATI marged with AMD and they seem to be doing just fine. The new series 5000 is unbelieveable, they beated their own cards, the 4870x2 pairs with it, barely. If they manage to make a x2 version I don't even know how much perfomance we can get. Even in crossfire, how well does it do, need to see some benchmarks fast. Can't wait to see what happens next year. I now own the newest LED LCD tv, blue-ray is amazing on a decent card.
Ryuuken24 2 years ago
Yeah, I'm actually kinda sad. I think I'll stay faithful, as it were, to nvidia for now and see what they pull with the new 300 series. But right now I'm definitely considering trying to get an ATI card.

yeah they're gonna release an x2 version of this half october and i'm gonna buy i guess.first i wanted a saphire radeon 4870 x2 but the 5870 x2 is gonna eat that :p

Magmatwister 2 years ago
they didnt make a 4890x2 because its just an over clocked 4870 so they probally won't make 5890 x2

BTW replying to everyone's comments DOES NOT make you seem smarter. So I suggest you find some other means to try to feal good about yourself. Possibly going outside?
JustinR19 2 years ago
xd its a constant fucking battle.. i think ati is overall the best though, the price of the 4890 for performance is just over price as the gtx260, yet it performs alot better for example
Magmatwister 2 years ago
but it has the same price as a 275 which is faster
antec12gtx260 2 years ago
hahah quite right. Thankfully current card prices will drop...YIPPEEE!!!!

shizniz38 2 years ago
checked out some bench reviews, these things are nasty! close to and sometimes beats the 4870x2 and GTX295 on a single GPU! wtf! I like that ATI has the initiative to release the first Dx11 GPU and keep prices competitive, will force Nvidia to drop prices, yay for competition! Guess we'll wait to see how the 300's perform but either way these new cards seem awesome!
kage7785 2 years ago
nvidia cant drop prices too low it costs them a shit load to make their cards as it is compaired to the 4000 and 5000 series
hootis8 2 years ago
Well remember when nvidia had the monopoly of the video card market and ATI was lagging behind? they overpriced cards like there was no tomorrow. Just saying it will keep prices in check which is nothing but good for us.

nvidias GT300 series will probably beat the 5870 but ATI has two options, the HD5890 and the HD5870x2 (real bad ass GPU)

the 5870x2 is gunna rape everything. but its gunna be like 600 dollars. :S
coolmanjasdeep 2 years ago
Yeah, and I believe by the end of the year we will see Crysis hit the 100FPS mark with these monster cards that are being released.
JustinR19 2 years ago 2
yeahhh, i think nvidia might beat ati though.. just a feeling. cuz the gtx 295 was better than the 4870x2, but who knows.
coolmanjasdeep 2 years ago
yeah but nvidia cards are more expencive
antec12gtx260 2 years ago
Depends, notice that nvidia is releasing their dx11 cards later than ATI, to catch up with they'll have to sell their cards at a lower price :)
CrdBrdProjects 2 years ago
yeah but they probally wont look at the 295 it came out after the 4870x2 and was like £100 more
antec12gtx260 2 years ago
oooooo reallly? of course they are, its cuz theyre better
coolmanjasdeep 2 years ago
not maxed out cause the cards can support resolutionss over 5120x3600 so they wont get thathigh frame if u max out all the settings but yes at resolutions like 1920x1200 if ur luckey
antec12gtx260 2 years ago
And that's where your wrong.With 3 (24") monitors, Eyeinfinity expands the picture to 5760x1200 and there's actually minimal performance drop while doing it.Treating the 3 monitors as one monitor allows the card to more efficient in producing the display. P.S You said 5120x3600, im guessing that your retarded or know nothing about display resolutions.With 3 monitors and Eye infinity you only add the resolution width of the monitor,because the height will stay the same. 1920x1200 X 3 = 5760x1200.
JustinR19 2 years ago
im not talking about 3 1920x 1200 monitors in a row im talking about the new screens comming out that have 4 2560x 1600 built in two one so dont try being clever as i didn't say anything about 3 screens or Eyeinfinity
