HD5870 Vs HD5970 Killer Quad setups (Res Evil 5 Fixed Bench)

[tomyloveu]

i just saw sli 4 cards 480 and it use power like 1500watts .. and this ati with 4 cards take around 700watts wow what a different... when it come to power.... now i wanna see will it beat 4 5870 with sli 4 gtx 480 waiting for that clip...

[vwrafi]

@tomyloveu Yeah, I would like to see 4 x GTX480 against 4 x HD5870. I am an ATI fan, but I think Nvidia will win in FPS, but with some cost ( 1500W Nvidia and 800W ATI ).

[TheNoobiekin]

I would be happy even at 50 fps. I'll be also happy if I only had 1 5870 xD

[mumbojumbozigzag]

too bad it wont worth 100$ is 3 years....

[Czyerx]

ye, too bad, i'd be happy if the price could drop that much

it'll still worth much more

[windheavenX]

TRUBITAR help me...i recently CF my 4870 with 4850..enabled CF using only 1 bridge.

1. noticed big gains with MW2 but when doign 3d mark runs hardly any difference.

2. also when playing ME2...i notice ONLY in CF mode does talkingto NPC slow down...why is this?

i have latest drivers..and everything..do i need 2 bridges for 2 cards...why isnt the performance better...

[mikkel42334233]

x2 gtx 295 its that better than x2 HD 5970

[Czyerx]

nope, it's not

[mrjamesb56]

Are all the Cards Running at the Same Clock & Memory Speed?........

[mikkel42334233]

whats best x2 5870

or x2 5970

[Bulldog22031]

@mikkel42334233 I believe the 5870 was the winner. I am assuming the 59-- had some serious bottlenecking

[santichulito]

160 FPS!!! THAT'S SICK bro!!!

[Neitzluber]

Too bad there's no screen that can refresh that fast, unless you wanna go dig up a CRT display. :P

[santichulito]

yeah well... from 60, 80 fps difference is not noticeable, but, better more than less dont you think? sorry about my english, isn't my native lenguage... i speak in spanish, you know... im from argentina

[Neitzluber]

No te preocupes, te entiendo perfectamente. Yo soy mexicano.

La verdad, tu gramatica es mejor que la de la mayoría de los gringos.

[santichulito]

ahh bueno mejor de ese modo :P ... porque me resulta 10 veces mas facil hablar en español que en ingles que a veces se me escapa alguna letra y le cambia todo el sentido a la oracion :P

[SandmanGodslayer]

@santichulito Atodos nos pasa, pero recuerda que el español es más complicado que el inglés, así que con más práctica se logra. Lo peor que el inglés siempre tiene contracciones y es difícil identificarlos o entenderlos. Salu2 desde México

[doomed151]

Looks like 850 watts is enough for this setup.

[AnDaTeSa]

does not use the 5970 at all , it just uses one core of the 5970 which essentially is a 5870. this was very uninformative. should show a game that actually takes advantage of the many cards and cores, very misleading

[thenoob101]

5970 got raped.

[mrjamesb56]

9.5 fps difference at 150 fps is "Rape"? ,...I don't think so......

[thenoob101]

-_-

[rushnerd]

Wow. Quite interesting to get a wattage perspective for use of a quad setup. Is that amount for the WHOLE computer?

[rapido3011]

Yes it is.

[indianbassplayer]

What is the song in the intro?

[Joseph9536]

How do I get the energy usage meter that is in the top of the screen?

[club4ghz]

@Joseph9536 buy psu with that ore Watt Electricity Load Meter

[kar9sk]

i dont even think my clothes dryer draws that much power. for a game? really?

[srsairbags]

@kar9sk reallllyyyyy

[UACDOOM]

this is fishy cause we all know that crossfire is not 100% working ok on catalysts 9.12.

[Troothforc]

What happened? You were getting 400+ fps before the 5970 came out, did you turn down the settings before?

[tf2godlikespy]

id rahter have the 2 5970s.....room for 1 more on my motherboard :)

[thecrazyflyersfan]

the music you pick is really good

[666darooo666]

maybe a stupid question.

Why didnt they put 4 HD5970's in one case?

[melonhead12211995]

since a 5970 is actually 2 video cards, and crossfire can only support 4 video cards, you couldn't

[qwerty5764]

@666darooo666 The 5970 as 2 gpu's already, putting 2 in the case is 4 gpus

[freddieman23]

The 5870's were at 850 core while the 5970's were a 735 core

a.k.a. - not fair

[primagen77]

@freddieman23 actually I thought the 5870s were oc as well? the xxx edition?

[thenoob101]

Ye, factory OC

[xIDemonHeroIx]

5870 OWNED 5970 PWNED!

my 3 5870 still own 2 normal 5970's :PP

[aleckermit]

4 graphics cards in one PC is just impracticle as hell. Best to just get one or two of the best GPU at most.

Unless of course you are a rich mofo like Trubritar....

[ichweisnichtwas]

best quat gpu is 9800gx2

[BRADHblackdragon]

hi what is this song please..the opening riff kicks! :)

[DaxHamel]

Why not compare with a P6T7 WS Supercomputer?

[kajusz931]

lmao 800W thats insane

[dubmywub]

many kilowatt hours shall pwn his energy bill XD

[yourma2000]

the 5970s should be clocked back upto 850mhz so it can actually represent an even benchmark between four single GPU cards and two dual GPU cards

[jeffwads]

Yeah, your electric bill will sky-rocket. Hell, using one 8800GTS knocked mine up noticeably.

[riflessss]

mine too... that thing idled at 64C too.

[AmzooO]

what's the difference between this Bench compared to the first one ?

[Jon3sySk8er]

@AmzooO

because last time 1 was in DX9 and the other was in DX10

so abit unfair

[bigrigross]

thats way to much power. In the us were limited to 110 which you cant put more than 1200watts on a single circuit, youd have to move up to a 220. Thats just based on US power regulations. And 1.2Kw is all you need. The system is maxing out at 800watts and the rule is that you get a psu that gives your 30 percent headway.

[idoublep]

wow now thats kool

[KapteinFruit]

That was a small diffrence! That game must be really good optimised for corssfire/SLi because you usually don't get a big performance diffrence with 3+ cards.

[Scruffylolz]

GTA 4 benchmark? *puppy eyes*

[philhalo66]

wow 781 watts man that's insane electric bill would be high as hell

[DJzSith]

where is the crossfire bridge for the 5970's, you get better performance with it rather than using the mobo

[trubritar]

The crossfire Bridge IS installed for all benchmarks, it just wasn't installed when the picture was taken...Neither were the power leads...

[tiagom135]

huge diference in power needs

[GEARSCOMBATANT1]

If it's a quality PSU, a solid 1kw PSU can handle this rig just fine.

[starstruck14]

wtf?? y only 100fps??? i thou crossfireX get go to 400 fps??

[GarrettBMXes]

not on crysis! :P

[dfineee]

anti aliasing 8x explains a lot

[GEARSCOMBATANT1]

The fixed benchmark uses a lot more AI than the variable benchmark... Even though the i7 is a beast of a CPU, RE5 probably doesnt make the best use of multicore cpu's just yet.

Either way, this is still great...

At 1440 x 900, with 8xAA(maxed), my Phenom II @3.5GHz and GTX260C216 get roughly 80-100 frames on the fixed bench... So kicking it up to a 1920 res with 8xAA is a pretty decent boost. I think the fixed bench is more CPU oriented than GPU, so the CPU is obviously the bottleneck.

[iScream90]

crysis + warhead would be great to see with full hd very high =) and some aa

[trubritar]

Crysis will be uploaded tonight :)

[viziki]

what power supply do you need for these settings????

[9AndS]

@viziki 2+ kW

[Czyerx]

1.2kw i guess, or 2x 750w too

[kballin95]

I love this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kballin95]

The watage diff isnt that much

[kingdavid332]

its amazing how close they are at times!

[tallandme13]

@kingdavid332 essentialy its the same thing. The difference is the price =)

[tucci06]

800w!! lool

[petradog409]

no 800W! that's 2600 Watts!

[onoff314]

No its 800w power consumption he has the ability two output 2600w he is not using that much.

[gremlinkiller]

@petradog409 wtf? thats 800w total system power...

[Jinto117]

Hmm, according to this benchmark the premium you pay for four 5870's doesn't justify the price vs. two 5970's.

[VAR1UM]

You lucky dog!!! All the 5970 are bought out in the states!

Im waiting for atleast a nvidia 300 or ati 6000 before i upgrade...

[iheartcomps]

gtfo ma duelistgroundz

[psp785]

wow ur right but the 5970 is over $700 -_-

[ItsCassie7411]

awesome benchmark.

[T88Stryker]

Hey Trubritar what settings did you change, The other Res Evil 5 video had over 200 FPS in the benchmark . . . what did you "Fix" ?

[trubritar]

With resident Evil 5, there are 2 different benchmarks, Fixed and variable.

[teckim]

What's the name of the Intro song, plz answer. Thank you

5*

[iheartcomps]

its called Rusty Bedsprings by I.P Nightly

[teckim]

booring.

[iheartcomps]

gtfo out ma utube

[T88Stryker]

Ok, thank you :D

[Falhok]

i prefer the four GPUs separate... it just is overkilling

[Vagmonster666]

great video as always, i wish i had money to burn on latest and greatest hardware like you do

[DarthJe5us]

how do you see the load?

nice benchmark :D

[club4ghz]

@DarthJe5us Watt Electricity Load Meter

[DarthJe5us]

@club4ghz thx man...if it wasnt for you i would never find out names of programs like this

[DarthJe5us]

@club4ghz errr....sry got mixed up its a meter ....its 6:30 am so forgive me xD

[club4ghz]

@DarthJe5us its external device you can get one for 20-30 bucks

[Gezelem2002]

Nice !!!

[revenant3154]

4 5870's isnt worth the extra cash

[scottycatman]

ugh, saying 5970 makes me feel weird. 5870 rolls off the tongue better.
