[sofnsable]

[rockurheart1]

can one monitor handle this?

[Spenz2]

You answered a lot of my questions DerPateBo. Thanks!

[DerPateBo]

@Spenz2 I'm glad my video answered your questions. Its allways great to hear that.

i like hd 5870!!!!!!!!!

[BrawlyProductionz]

i havent seen anyone with an amd cpu with the 5870 cards.

link0ot is correct, these games are optimized for nvidia, which makes this review a joke. If you look at passmark's website, they say the 5870 is over 20% more powerful than the GTX 285. They never showed games like left 4 dead 2, team fortress 2 or call of duty for a reason.

And these reviews never mention ATI's xfire superiority over SLI. This is significant and they overlook these things on purpose.

Yes your q6600 will bottleneck before the newest Ati graphics card will...

Hi, Sapphire or XFX ?

[razorthedevil]

nice vid.,,,,,,

[DerPateBo]

thanks

[keffje007]

but still in performance the gtx 295 beats the hd5870. but only in performance rest is best on hd5870

[ooFreeMan]

but when the nvidia 300 S will be release ????

[DerPateBo]

I think it will be released at the end of this year or at the first quarter of 2010, but there is nothing offical yet.

If you think ATI price is high wait until you see (next year lol) Fermi´s price tag. By that time ATI will have a better than Fermi and lower price for sure. Until this year i was Nvidia all the way, by now i prefer the cost/effect of ATI and i see them way ahead in development

[Link0ot]

To see the HD 5870 real or true potential then you should try other games that is not nvidia optimized. And I do agree with the price of the HD 5870 is high at the moment, so it is best to wait for it to become cheaper. Also, I would love to see nvidia's fermi gpu performance for comparison with the HD 5870 and the HD 5870X2.

yass first comment

btw would a q6600@3375 mhz bottleneck this?

[DerPateBo]

I think it would bottleneck it a bit , but if you are playing games you won't recognize it, because a q6600 is still more than fast enough for games. So if you are doing a benchmark you will recognize a difference for sure, but if you're just playing games you would be still able to set your settings to maxiumum.

the reason the GTX 295 was so Much Higher FPS is because even ONE HD 5870 Bottlenecks the I7 at 4.0 so try again with a better cpu not being picky but those Bench marks looks NOTHING like the people with the i7
