HD 5970 vs GTX 480 GTA4 Showdown Maxishine Video

[upriders1]

die GTX ist irgend wie detaillierter

[liandriunreal]

I just ordered a i7 2600 with a gtx 480 in it should get it by friday will I be able to max out settings on games like skyrim and bf3 in 1080p? and if not what card should replace the 480 with I was told my cpu is good 2 go but might want to upgrade my card

[Voldness]

@liandriunreal In reality ur system should blow Skyrim away, but it will have some problems cause the developers opted to port it from a weak ass xbox360 to everything else. With that comes problems. They could have done a better job. But still, it will be fine, just not what it should be. BF3 run it at max. Its not the cards fault that Skyrim will have minor problems, but the developers.

[korbland14]

GTA IV doesn't support crossfire or 2 GPU's that's all.

[townending]

@korbland14 GTA IV does, however episodes of liberty city does not.

[bfjoro]

Nvidia ftw ati is cheap and gay

[madu86]

gta4 is a shitty game to push the limits of your card, Metro2033 is boss.

[MrZactheazn]

@madu86 cause metro 2033 was out when this video was posted ay

[Blindbaloo]

iguess you forgot to enable crossfirex...

[TheDudeCafi]

0:31 why i can see a flag in the window of the buiding on the left side but not on the right side?

[karrotop]

for those who are giving the 5979 crap cause it can only just keep us with a single gpu card check these videos out.

gta clearly does not scale well with crossfire so go watch some modern games that are capable of using the extra gpu

/watch?v=eras9dtIuUE&feature=r­elmfu

/watch?v=tIj_Ob_qlsI&feature=r­elmfu

So here's a really crazy idea, go watch more than one benchmark before shooting your mouth off.

[premproudly]

GTX 480 is best

[sillykaz]

hmmm i can see gtx has less stuttering, more smooth but the radeon had more FPS which is always good...... i dunno crap about gpu's but seeing is believing, i say gtx is better in this round (my opinion)

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

this is a fair benchmark cause this was comparing the 2 best cards of both companies that were out at the time even if the 5970 is in crossfire

[pp1995rs]

ATI 2GPU Nvidia 1GPU :)

[max7159]

ati driver r bad

[ovyking49]

who fucking cares about a little diference at graphics..just fuck off and play

[dwdwsk8123]

nVidia win

[FuckingMirrors]

Both cards are outdated. 

[ATIfan95]

5970>gtx480

[88matheos1]

the 5970 kills the fucking gtx 480

[Malkitfigo]

Which is the Best ????

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@Malkitfigo The Radeon HD 5970 kicks the shit out of the GTX 480 in games that support CrossFireX, but is just barely ahead in games that dont.

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

its not ahead at all in games that doesn't support crossfire, what are you brain dead?

no crossfire= underclocked 5870 vs 480

obvious winner would be 480.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 I was looking at actual Benchmarks.

Brain-dead idiot.

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

are ya? post em!

id be happy to see a game that doesnt support sli/crossfire these days

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 *cough*

This video

*cough*

Then, compare the framerates in this video to ( anandtech (.) com / bench / Product / 297?vs=309 ) and then you'll see why I came to the conclusion that GTA4 doesn't support multiple GPUs. Oh, and that the Radeon HD 5970 beats the GTX 480 in games that don't support CrossFireX.

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

LOL

funny

tomshardware(dot)com/reviews/r­adeon-hd-5970(period)2474-14(d­ot)(html)

still doesnt support crossfire?

Gtfo. it will not win if you disable one of the gpus in it

nuff said.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 You still think that the GTX 480 almost wins over the Radeon HD 5970.

GTFO.

And worst of all, some people agree with you.

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

some? i think you mean logical and intelligent

unlike you :P

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 Nope. If you looked at the L4D2 video, you'd see how un-logical and stupid your comment was.

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

smarty pants, the source engine supports crossfire, hence the reason why 5970(2 5870s underclocked)> 480

tell me something, are you trolling?

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

time for you and your ati fanboyism to shush

hardwareheaven(.)com/reviews/8­90/pg13/sapphire-5970-cfx-and-­his-5970-cfx-review-left-4-dea­d-2-single-card-testing.html

[theheavysoldier]

Is there even a difference?

[terorvlad]

if you wanted the best pc there could be at that moment, you'd have to go with the best parts no matter the price, that is what this benchamark is for.

[exoticg9]

defenetly NVIDIA 480GTX @

[MrMike655]

i52500k 5.1ghz

8gb ddr3 1600mhz g-skill ripjaws

gainward gtx 480 will be adding another under watercooling

fps: 80 max 55average 35 min

[JSUTSGJ]

@MrMike655 Man I'm seeing that sandy bridge value per clock isn't that great , Performs like a beast , but a 5 ghz OC(i7 2600k) give's like 4ghz performance of a i7 950 o-o , Really starting to make me wonder if the more efficient memory controller and integrated GPU is all there is D:. I got a 1090t OC'd 4 ghz and with a stock gtx 480 on the GTD chip set I get basically the same FPS xD and my ram runs 1333 mhz. But my max was 70 but it holds a constant 50 lowest 34

[MrMike655]

i have a gtx 480 overclocked and it smashes the performance you see here and smashes the 5970.

however this game is badly optimized for any pc configuration.

oc settings 900mhz core/2300mhz memory/ 1800mhz shader.

[squall0833]

I have 2x 5870 crossfire, I got pretty low fps with night shadow on, lol

maybe my cpu bottlenecks or maybe this game is not well optimized for crossfire?

i7 920 2.66 stock clock

[MsHitman74]

@squall0833 GTA 4 is not optimized for Crossfire

[squall0833]

@MsHitman74 yeap, even just one runs the same :P, GTA4 is a bad console port anyway

[kasumisman]

benchmark tests on gta4 arent the real fps. It takes off night shadows

[AeroFix94]

Nvidia Wins this one.... :) not so big differens!

[AsianPerson3]

You people are fucking retarded. Its a comparison between the 2 best cards both Nvidia and AMD had to offer at the time.

[HenkSpankK]

lol it's not really smart to compare a dual gpu with a single gpu. then I can compare my hd 4650 with my 6970 too. right. it makes no sense

[vitalsfading]

I dunno about that i have a 6750 which the 5970 should be faster and the 6750 runs gtaiv at 64 fps

[MrMike655]

ohh and the 480 cost me £196 on scan.co.uk

now thats a real winner!

[MrMike655]

ayup kids and men and other aliens.

i have a phenom 2 x4 955 4.6ghz on wc with gtx 480 (gainward) and stock clocks on a msi 790fx-gd70 motherboard.

the fps you see in this vid is cpu dependant my GTAIV reaches 67fps in places and solid 45+ with max detail.

[xXNightmareXxPRRP]

The biggest difference between the ATI and NVidia was 10-13 frames. Both cards get a tie in my opinion. They did equally good and sucked equally

[KINGhotaru11]

5970 is pretty much crossfire in single card so its not a fair benchmark

[timoz528]

@KINGhotaru11 Well that might be the case with Hardware but in price Nvidia is ~25-30% cheaper. So its only natural that it doesen't have as high FPS as AMD's card.

[robiniroven]

@KINGhotaru11 its still one card so yes its fair and thats the point, and lots of people dont get that

[marfg12345]

@KINGhotaru11 they are the same price, that just shows nVidia is overpriced garbage

[HenryTomasino1]

@KINGhotaru11 No genius this is a fair benchmark... Since you didnt know ther 5970 and the 480 usually run around the same FPS in this game... Which says a lot about the 480.

[KINGhotaru11]

@HenryTomasino1 well dumbass 5970 is a dual gpu on a single pcb hence its will always rape a single card like this video.. n no they do not eun at the same fps in this game.. if u saw a side to side comparision gameplay vid ud see how wrong u are.. genius

[HenryTomasino1]

@KINGhotaru11 Since when did "usually run around" become "equal?" This is an even mash up. Some games the 480 will lead by a bit, some the 5970. You should go look at some charts and hope you gain some knowledge.

[KINGhotaru11]

@HenryTomasino1 id recommend u look up some charts.. 5970 beats the 580 and 590 n 6990 in some cases.. so get ur shit straight..

[HenryTomasino1]

@KINGhotaru11 Thats related to drivers genius. But the 5970 doesn't beat either the 590 or 6990... Upon initial release that would be true but not after a single month. Go get your facts straight and come back to try again.

[KINGhotaru11]

@HenryTomasino1 who cares about intial release it a dual gpu n it will be a single gpu any time.. just accept it.. n it is a fast card.. faster than the 6990 and 590.. it is wat it is.. just deal man..

[fabioavenger7x]

@KINGhotaru11 thats not amd's fauld bro

[knobi4]

sucks NVIDEA !!!!!!!!!

[BAXFAXTER]

GTA4 it's a Big SHIT )))

[21680Boys]

@BAXFAXTER nah man with car mods excellent

[NeoDracco]

No son tarjetas comparables, la gtx480 compite con la 5870, esta comparación es incorrecta, no sean ridículos por favor

[eiendiaies]

I buy gtx 480 about 300 pounds in scan.co.uk. HD 5970 costs about 900 pounds. So I dont see very big difference in graphics between these two cards. 2 gtx480 is cheaper than 1 HD 5870

[hippievogelei]

@eiendiaies ever heard of bitcoin mining Ati graphics card are on top, the raw mhash power of ati cards rocks. nvidia are much more complexcards, nvidia try to make state of the art cards with some complex old 90s architecture. nvidia card aren´t efficient. just take the hd6990 against any other nvidia card.

[FrancoHomePs3DragonZ]

ATI is better simple

I admit it even if i use nvidia

[AznDuD333]

@FrancoHomePs3DragonZ

why is it that a single gpu almost beats out 2 ati gpu then? u fail.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 You're forgetting that GTA4 doesn't support CrossFire (and, from what I've seen, SLI either).

ufail

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

it actually does support crossfire, but not sli due to some vram issues until recently

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 If it does then why does the Radeon HD 5970 beat the crap out of the GTX 480 in everything else?

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

im guessing youre clueless about graphics cards

the 5970 has 2 gpus in it, while the 480 has one

the 5970 has 2 underclocked 5870 cores, so exactly how do you expect 1 gpu to bet 2?

you must be fucked up in the head.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@AznDuD333 *facepalm*

[AznDuD333]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

i guess you didn't know that 5970 had 2 gpus in it then.

and the facepalm was for yourself, id hope.

[slyper8]

@AznDuD333 bcus its 2 UNDERCLOCKED cards in crossfire

[AznDuD333]

@slyper8

exactly, 2v1.

[slyper8]

@AznDuD333 No its not 2x HD 5870 or something,its 2x UNDERCLOCKED HD 5850 PS:GTX 480 was released later,though its a single gpu card it takes just as much power as one hd 5970,its fucking loud and gets really hot!

[AznDuD333]

@slyper8

wrong, 5970 is 2 underclocked 5870s, not 5850s.

look at the streaming processor count, retard.

[Danny7930]

@AznDuD333 Because the game doesn't support the dual gpu's and its only running on half the card. I have a 5970, I know.

[daoud19912]

ati is better

[Xextreem]

@The1FlyingHigh mircrotrolling + comment = epic fail

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

@Xextreem How is he trolling

[MrIlyas13]

ATI HD has much better results. Watch in HD and you'll know.

[The1FlyingHigh]

Microsuttering + HD 5970 = 60 Fps looks the same as 30.

[deluxedookie]

@The1FlyingHigh

depends on how they made it render maybe 30fps is the cap even though its showing more. looks like he useing fraps so its only reading the screen not the actual games fps.

[The1FlyingHigh]

@deluxedookie

If it's locked to 30fps, fraps shows it's 30 fps.

If it's locked to 60fps, fraps shows it's 60 fps.

If it is something between 0-100, fraps shows it's 0-100.

[fanicafanica]

ok i dont likesomthing here the cpu i now ati is going better when have an amd cpu and nvidia when have an intel cpu , that is the problem whith fps!!:X

[bobelloch11]

GTX 480 AMP FTW !

[Sk8terBoiJason]

just got a pc with GTX480 wow my gaming experience is going to be way better according to this vid

[xMyazXtr3me]

NVIDIA FTMFW!! Trust me i know, i have the 480.

[TheDiego365]

the best video card is nvidia

[zx169]

lol at the beginning the DH 5970 looks like a cheap Chinese children's toy compared to the 480

[liandriunreal]

my gtx 480 fucked my wife

[dennishassel]

Look at the graffiti at the wall at 0:39 that's some different ;P

[MasterKarlKani]

guys nvidia is better  why ? ati ave 2 gpus your must look wirh only one gpu sry for my bad english its true ati 5850 vs nv 480 and i think nv winns ,p

[MrErjavec]

@MasterKarlKani

HD 5970 is faster but gtx480 is better...

and about 1 or 2 core,... It's a graphic card, nobody cares how many core it have or gram,

[1337RussianCoDPlay3r]

@MrErjavec

5970 is:

faster

runs cooler

is cheaper, albeit close.

faster than the GTX480 in Crysis, where having more than 1 card slows down Crysis.

Need I say more?

[MrMclit]

@1337RussianCoDPlay3r you are sure that 5970 is cheaper?

[1337RussianCoDPlay3r]

@MrMclit

I go to Ebuyer.... >_>

[fragman08]

@1337RussianCoDPlay3r also, it consumes much less power =D

[washington1dc]

God HD 5970!!  XD

[arma182]

Well, i'd go with nVidia, you cant notice the graphics/stage rendering as with the ATI

[ammaray2]

If u compare both of them, Nvidia is more smoother...

[MrTurient]

i love nvidia

ati sucks

[kittyburger000]

Imah buy the GTX 480, i don't want my pc to blow up from those temps :/

[jdcrispe95]

5970 wins. XD i want 1 :(

[kohy1990]

ATi HD 5970 -> A little bit hotter than GTX 480, but it's showing more FPS... And it isn't too expensive...

ATi -> WIN!

[mateosivi]

@kohy1990 you right my man your right yeah you do you fucking do do you agree with me that u do because ur to right my man im saying that because youre right :D

[inutichow]

@mateosivi So by reading what you said im still not sure if im correct with this statement....So your saying hes right?

[mateosivi]

@inutichow not ahhahahah xddd

[kittyburger000]

@kohy1990 Hd 5970 : 627 euros Nvidia Geforce GTX 480 : 329 euros!!!

Nvidia win!

[Goopezzz]

@kittyburger000 627 euros?? lol?????

[TheRui1994]

@kittyburger000 Fuc...k yuo ATI is much better then NVIDIA ATI REDEON fuckin rulll nvidia is a disisaster :S

[RozzoFX]

@TheRui1994 Haha, your grammar and spelling is a disaster aswell.

[xfx4life]

@kittyburger000 Nvidia never wins Not even Amd wins. The both companies are fighting for best performance and for everycard they get they are always one step over the other. And no there is acctualy no money difference.

HD 5970 is running a dual core and 480 is running an singlecore. If you buy 2 of the gtx 480 it will have more WATT consumation and will cost more than the 5970. But still Nobody wins.

[johannes19969]

@kittyburger000 in this game nvidia wins but in metro2033? :S

[kittyburger000]

@johannes19969 Nvidia still wins in metro 2033. Watch some legit benchmarks.

[johannes19969]

@kittyburger000 i see videos and ati win in metro2033

[DrOrtmeyer]

@kittyburger000 thats becasue in the gtx 480 you dont get half of the 5970

[HazewinDog]

@kohy1990 5970 isnt too expensive? lol, buy me one then xD

[13071991ali]

nvidia is better than ati but i must say nvidia is very expensive than ati thats is bad

[kittyburger000]

@13071991ali No nvidia isn't expensive! The Ati card is 627 euros!

[13071991ali]

@kittyburger000 do you know which web site have a favorable

nvidi graphic card when yes can you send me this web site thanks

[quattroporte40]

now try it witch te newest patch

[SkulLzSouL]

i dont think ati is great,my ati hd mobil. 5470 runs 3dmark 06 at first graphic test only at 6 ~8 FPS but NVidia 8600 GT have 20~25 FPS at the graphic test. (I,m not Nvidia fanboy)

[SoldierX777]

@SkulLzSouL That's because you have a 5470... They suck, they're just good for the PRICE.

[LilBoozeMusic]

Dual GPU card owned by one GPU with 480 cores!

[Goodspeed1337]

i have the 5970. and i love it.

And i wanna say one thing. 5970 is not compatible with GTA IV.

That makes the graphic little more unreal than the GTX480.

But ATI is the best!

[oyesoymanolo]

@Goodspeed1337 I have the 5970 and runs X2 faster that gtx480 in GTA4 (but only with lastest game patch, that supports crossfire) and "the darkness" of a nvidia is the worst. If you want more contrast, change your display levels.

[Demo1233]

Gtx480 Makes the game more realistic, Pause The video at 01:33 and you can see :

Gtx480 is more dark than the ATI, this makes the game more realistic.

Fact...

[defcon2XX8]

@Demo1233 lol it's called settings and in these settings you have thing like brightness and contrast that control things like brightness and contrast.

[JoeyBieg]

My 6850 gets 60 frames at 55c*. I think the test processor this guy used wasn't very good. I'm just using a 1055t.

[PkerWhomerang]

@JoeyBieg he's running at a reolution of 2560x1600 though, that's about 150% of 1080p!

[JoeyBieg]

@PkerWhomerang Oh I see that now, damn I just run 1920x1200.

[PkerWhomerang]

@JoeyBieg Mmk well that's still an amazing framerate and 1200p looks amazing anyway.

[slayer94QC]

i dont see a great difference

[MrChaos2124125]

yeah i always knew :ati is better

[Fairent4]

на gtx480 игра как-то гладче кажется хоть фпс меньше, наверное что-то у radeona с gpu

[Arcibaldinjo]

@Fairent4 fps better on HD 5970

[caxco93]

@Arcibaldinjo well 5970 has 2 cores o_o

[ShadowwwLFS]

my 3 years old $100 9800GT gets 25 fps on maximal gfx in GTA IV, what am I doing wrong? :D

[Miguelb772]

@Russ88765 Nvidia are working on a dual gpu 580 graphics card! its gonna be much faster than the ati hd 5970 :D

[TheLucAaASsS]

the ATI video cards get along better with AMD phenom/athlom, already the NVIDIA video cards get along better with Intel Core i5/i7 ...

so the Videocard gtx 480 scored more points with this setting.

[Lynx2171]

Tesselation is where you will see the difference. GTA4 is not really the best benchmark

[ATLracing]

@Russ88765 True, but this isn't really fair. GTA IV is written for nVidia cards, so it runs much better on them. GTA IV on my Mobiltiy Radeon 5870 stutters and the framerate isn't great.

[juanjo2122]

estas por que le das gandora ala gtx 480 si la hd 5970 en tu test le llevaba unos 8 fps en promedio sera por al diferencia de precio por que en el redimiento no es igual

[n0f3aR629]

Maxishine nerds how much has nvidia payed you for this crap? GTA IV USES ONLY 1 GPU. So this benchmark is only half power of the HD 5970! And stil it has better fps then Gtx 480 LOL

[mymichellegunsnroses]

How would this run GTA IV?;

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, Socket-AM3

Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB, CL9

WD Caviar® Blue™ 1TB 3,5", SATA 3 Gb/s

Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA2

EVGA GeForce GTX 470 1280MB PhysX CUDA

Windows Ultimate 7

[dadge35]

@mymichellegunsnroses you should be able to max the settings with that rig. i can and i run phemon 550 (duel core), 8gb of ddr2 (800mhz) ram and a GTX470.

GTA has never looked so good :)

[mymichellegunsnroses]

@dadge35 OK

[GamerAndReviewer]

@mymichellegunsnroses Cool. But if you don't have this PC yet, better buy a Caviar Black disk to install Windows which is faster at gaming than Caviar Blue and Caviar Green! :-)

[mymichellegunsnroses]

@GamerAndReviewer ok

[brainbasher]

@Russ88765 no because the 5970 is using only 1 gpu.... think about it it means that the 480 is inferior even to just one of the 5970's gpu.... and also even 480's in sli would still have these frames in this game because it cant make a diff....

[Magmatwister]

@Russ88765 For fuck sake you idiot, GTA only uses 1 GPU.

[Destruct820]

How can the HD5970 with dual GPU can be beaten by a single GTX480 ?

[gothikaboy]

So you took the most disappointing PC port to test it...

[darielpineiro]

5970 RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MusicCollectionz]

@Russ88765 I'm sorry but it pisses me off how all these people vote up your comment without knowing the proper facts. The reason why the Gtx 480 keeps up witht he ATI 5970 is because GTA IV only supports one GPU therefore this test is basically an ATI Radeon HD 5870 (Half of the 5970) against the gtx 480 so it's actually just two single gpu cards against one another.

[gtlaw]

wow i cant wait to see the GTX 595!, dual card this is considering now we have GTX 580 so i assume it will be GTX 595!, and its also estimated GTX 580 is up to 20% faster than 480 so that would be the 5970 now, imagine the GTX 595!, NVIDIA IS BACK!, but i wont be able to get it, cause it will be 1K!!! lol. by 9600GT can play crysis so im fine

[dreamprojectify]

well you have to compare AMD Radeon 6870 single GPU with the Nvidia...:)

[MrNappy1221]

clearly gtx 480 won

2 gpu's high temperatue....

1gpu mid high...

[MostWanted095]

@Russ88765

Rather than judging a GPU by how many core it has concentrate on the efficiency per unit / price. Couple of years ago people were arguing like you ; "Unfair comparison this card has 256MB mem as where other one 768MB". Get over it. in the future cards may have 16 GPU cores per unit and even more.

[TheMorotgubben]

tge GTX 480 have 3D so i think the GTX 480 is better :P

When i saw i7 980x i jizzed
