Asus 5000 Series Round Up - 5870 Review

[Gregoric399]

Those gamer settings on warhead?

[SE09uk]

Lol is that porn tissue behind the screen :)

[HeLeX63]

How many FPS would I get in this game with 1680x1050 x4AA, and medium - high graphic settings on a Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB OC 715/1430/1800??????

[mitzibishi]

@HeLeX63 dunno?

[dan5548]

Can a CM storm scout fit a 5870?

[SSc0ut]

@dan5548

Yes definately, the only cards the scout cant fit are the GTX480 and the HD5970

[Recon9143]

What screen is that kind sir?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@Recon9143 samsung 2433bw

[DevilGene66]

if you buy the HIS HD 5870 iCooler V Turbo (Modernwafare 2 Edition), then it should run MW2 on highest graphics settings.

[DevilGene66]

can this card fit in the Lexa S Case?

[T3chyo]

What resolution were you playing at?  Great review.

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@T3chyo 1920x1200 as always dude

[BehelitOutlaw]

controler + mouse ... wtf :s

[Revanchist8525]

can the 5850 and the 5870 fit in the NZXT Lexa S case? without touching the hard drives bays?

[kevinjones1985]

that seems alittle low on that card dont you think> i get between 38 and 60fps on my 5770 overclocked alittle at 1900 x1080 with max settings and with the same outside view of the car! inside car is steady 60fps! did you try it again recently with new drivers? thanks

[DannyGWarrior]

@kevinjones1985

I'm pretty sure he said he's using the 5870 stocked.

[derek56ace]

whoever gave a thumbs down is an asshole. These are great reviews of the 5000 series.

[kolofagos]

can i put 2 of them in CM690 case?? if yes,will i have probs with the temperatures?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@kolofagos if you can afford 2x 5870 then you can afford a better case that the 690 too ;)

[kolofagos]

@TimeToLiveCustoms ahh..i can't afford them (coz they are expensive..and i live in greece ^^) but my brother is at south korea right now and he found the 5870 $340 so i am going to tell him to buy one to me in order to crossfire them :D

[radeonfighter]

Crysis doesn't use Physx.This means it doesn't use the GPU to process dynamics.

This reviewer abviously desn't know the difference between Physx and Cuda.

The fact is that dynamics processing using the GPU is not needed.

Current Cpu's can handle any of the available physx engines with a couple of mid clocked cores.

[Acer0c]

i don't know if you noticed but you said call of duty mw2 at first, :D nice videos bw

[sunligth2000]

i think u need to sleep :D

[N1ght3d]

Does it stutter like my POS 4870? God, what a scam that card was. Up yours ATI.

[lizardmannnn]

Nvidia's new cards come out this month

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

Wrong they get launched this month, they will not be in the shops untill late April/early may.

[moonshiry]

@TimeToLiveCustoms i hear that the new asus 5870s come with better heat dispersion flattened copper pipes, improving heat dispersion by about 20% and anti dust fan which allows the fan to last longer.

[EliteSoldier112]

That is if you can your hands on them... It won't be till Late May where everyone ELSE can get the cards lol... I've been debating whether I should get 2 GTX 480's or wait to see ATI's updated 5870's... But just thinking about drivers... I'd go with Nvidia.. I won't have to wait as long either xD

[Fatalexty]

@EliteSoldier112

The new nvidia GTX 400 series are failed mate , dont even bother to buy 400 series. Nvidia will only sale 20k of 400 sries cards coz they agreed it will be a waste of money for us gamers. all tought 400 series has better detelisation over DX 11 thn ati 5000 series and yet 480 GTX will only be faster 5 procent thn 5870 which is kind of sad. buy 2 5870 or single 5970 :).

[EliteSoldier112]

@Fatalexty They aren't failed. I thought they were at first but did you take a gander at its sli scaling?? It's almost 100% if you go with two cards!!! Also the future of gaming will be heavily utilizing tesselation and nvidia has ATi beat here. Almost beating the 5970 with a stock card. And then if you overclock the card, you'll be beating a DUA-GPU card!! That's rite, Nvidia's "failed" product which was supposed to have 512 cores but only has 480 cores, is better than even ATI's 5970!

[Macsimus007]

Great review for all the cards. Probably the most thorough reviews I've seen. Keep up the good work and some eyefinity please ;)

[johnny2timestiNy]

love the video was looking to get this card so this helped. plz do eyefinity review!!!

[razorthedevil]

hey nice one

[oldmanwhithers]

I got one on launch and while I'm really happy with it I kinda wish I got the 4850 instead- pretty big price difference with  only a 10% (give or take) improvement

[gottn211]

@oldmanwhithers 4850?

[oldmanwhithers]

oh whoops 5850

[AzNsEnSaT1oN]

wait crysis and crysis warhead doesn't use PhysX do they? or else I've been really stupid and been playing with it turned off

[Peetah16]

crysis does use physX. Obiously only if you got an nvidia card

[desurgeon]

Lol tom said Call of duty modern warfare 2 instead of Crysis. Good video keep up the good work!

[DJBACON8D]

Very nice video! Your videos is like top 3 of all channels I like on youtube!

[Aaronage1]

Great reviews, awesome :D

Would be great to see eyefinity on the main three ATI cards 5850/5870/5970 :D

5/5

[b0ss6769]

Really strong card !

[tehhalders]

most important review for me ;D cnt believe how cool it is at 50% blumming good, altho a lil loud. 24" blumming hell thats doing good! im guessing the res is at 1080, thats well good fps wow didnt realise that was the res.
