  • i love Radeons box's there great. I bought all the parts for my computer and i kinda have them decorating my Computer desk with my 6870's box right in the middle and it looks great!

  • I had this bad boy, until I sold my pc. Still regret it! But I'm saving up for the successor :P

  • It's amazing that this card still beats the 6000 series.

  • @xMANIACxCOP yup, although this card still cost's more than the 6970 ;)

  • thats what she said at 2:43

  • GOD MODE ON.. x)

  • Half this stuff made no sense to me. I sit here, wondering how I'd find a case to fit stuff into. Mine isn't too big.

  • why is this still more expensive than the 6970

  • @waseem1173 Because this is still technically AMD's most powerful card.

  • @Y0URm0mmasballs Lol you kidding :p 5970 6970 6990 are all its successors in terms of performance

  • @waseem1173 Nope. 5970 and 6990 doesnt count, they are both dual GPU cards.

    6970 is only faster when it comes to tesellation and certain games. But in terms of specs and RAW power (not game wise etc.), the 5870 beats it. But its still a wonder why shops still sell it for that much, though you can get em cheap online used.

  • @Y0URm0mmasballs You can look up written reviews they all indicate that the 6970 is superior. Twice the frame buffer and has better cross fire scaling performance. and there is still room for improvement for the 6900 series with later revisions of drivers. the cayman series is just a beast of a gpu

  • @Y0URm0mmasballs You're confusing the 6970 with 6870.

    6970 beats the 5870 in everything.

  • hey guys this is a great website that shows reviews on many top-of-the line computer components please visit computerbuilding(dot)webs(dot)­com

  • if your in the uk and you want this card dont get it from pc world they rip you off get it from maplins.the pc world price is £325 but at maplins its only £200 and it comes with dirt 2 :)

  • I've a question

    Wich monitor is the best monitor for the eyefinity setup so when i'm gaming i dont have any dick black lines.

  • @Machinebull3t use beamer

    

  • Why do you keep using shit mouses?

  • WOW- Video. GREETINGZ ! Hi, I have a ATI radeon 5770 vapor-x and the ATI 5870 has a minimal diferences does not? I´m right? I woul like to known, to configurating Eyefinity to my card, how to?

    Thanks NCIX.

  • Reload 0:00

    

  • NOT VISTA

  • the 5770 support DX11 lol. is the 5770 a new model than 5870?

  • @wowaccpass The 5770 came out after the 5870 as a mid ranged level graphics card. the 5870 was the first of the 5000 series cards.

  • @wowaccpass the 5770 cam out later, but its really not as fast as the 5870

  • i hope there will be vapor x for the 6970 =)

  • Guys i have 5870 Vapor-x, and now i want to buy 2nd one to crossfire them, or sell it and get 6990? thx

  • @Sniper1Hunter I would wait to upgrade. The 6990 is very loud and gets very hot and not to mention very expensive. In about 12 months the next round of single gpu graphics cards from ati and nvidia will be out and a lot cheaper than the 6990 and most likely just as fast. The 5870s and are pretty cheap right now but the problem is that they dont perform very well with dx11 features such as tesselation.

    I would wait for a bigger leap. That way you get a longer lifetime out of your hardware

  • @Jonathann1818 you right, but am getting Eyefinity X3 LED, do u think am gonna need 2nd 5870? btw the single 5870 pretty good for single LCD right now. thanks =)

  • @Sniper1Hunter It depends on the resolution of the panels. There are some 22" 1680x1050 panels and 23"/24" 1920x1080 panels. What I would do is buy your panels first and then try it out with one 5870. It will depend on what games you play. To give you and idea:

    I run 2 gtx 580's on @ 2560x1600 get 85 fps (maxed out wih 32x AA) in bfbc2. 2560x1600 = 4.1 mpxel. 3X1920x1080 = 6.2 mpxel. So given that i get about 85 fps and hd 5870 is slower, I would say you need a second 5870, at least for bfbc2.

  • @Jonathann1818 yup, that what i decided to do, get other 5870 or go for 6970 and crossfire it later, but today i didn't find any stock for the 5870, and if someone have it they asked price higher than 6870 o.O, so am gonna sell my one and get 6970, cause am playing BFBC2, WoW, Forsaken world, and so on... so am gonna need to change my VGA, and i will get 3 X 23' (1920X1080), last question =): which brand the best for the heat? i mean better cooler, thanks for helping =)

  • @Sniper1Hunter Well theyre all pretty much gonna be the same. I havent really seen many out there with custom coolers. Asus has one but it is at $500, which is a lot for a 6970. I would just buy a reference card so that way you keep your replacement cost low. And besdies there reference cards are quite good as is. The fan I have heard runs a little louder than gtx 580 but it doesnt get loud enough to be annoying. Just make sure your case has good cooling. Power draw: 6970>5870

  • @Sniper1Hunter So in full, I would get a second 5870 if you need one right now, but I suggest you wait. Keep in mind the 5870 has only 1 gb of ram. If you are going to run stuff like nfs shift or half life 2, it doesnt matter. But in more current games where there is a lot more memory usage (bfbc2, metro 2033), the 5870 tends to get choked by its lack of ram. And since you are going to run 3 displays (6.2 mpxel!) , your are most likely going to have low min fps. All boils down to the game though

  • @Sniper1Hunter If you can get a good deal on them, maybe a pair of 6970s would be good because of their 2 gb frame buffer. That i can see working much better with eyefinity. They are more expensive but would be a much better choice in the long run.

  • can u use 5850

  • @itouchipadz4you The 5850 is old

  • @deathflyer10 so i just got 1

  • @itouchipadz4you you shouldve bought a 6950 as it replaced it

  • @deathflyer10 i might get this  MSI Radeon HD 6870 1024 MB DDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card 2PM2D1GD5

  • @itouchipadz4you its a better card than you have now

  • @deathflyer10 i doubt it ur just hating cause you cant afford one

  • Comment removed

  • @itouchipadz4you I have a gtx 570 atm-.-

  • @deathflyer10 i think bout getting 2 gtx 590

  • In about a year and a half, it went from the fastest single card in the world to $200

  • Comment removed

  • this dosent have to do with the graphics card they are showing but i do have a question about an ati graphics card

    will Diamond Radeon HD 5770 1GB PCI Express Graphics Card fit in to ausus cm5671? i really hope it but idk i got ASUS US Radeon 2GB GDDR5 HD6970 PCI Express Graphics Card before but no way i could get it to fit so i'm hopeing the diamond radeon HD 5770 will :( i didnt buy it yet but i want to.... so i'm asking if it will fit first :)

  • 5870 or 6950?

  • @edilloc 6950 2GB, definitely worth the extra 30 bucks

  • @Fowtowsjop tnx!

  • @edilloc You're welcome ;D

  • Whats with the porno music

  • @bloodhownd cuz dx 11 is nerd porn, duh :P

  • @bloodhownd This sir, is geek porn

  • I am having a 6 display setup. The lower 3 are oriented normally, the upper 3 are upside-down. When grouping them up for Eyefinity, I am unable to rotate just the top 3 to get the whole picture oriented in the same way. Is there a solution? (I even tried to mess with displays firmware, no success so far) Thank You!

  • @eremite12

    you have the 3 top monitors upside down!

  • His voice relaxes me no homo. LOL

  • @JSUTSGJ I FEEL OFFENDED WHEN SOMEONE SAYS NO HOMO BECAUSE I'M A HOMO!

  • @PirateKing1256 cool story bro

  • @PirateKing1256 what the f

  • so i can change my video card to that AMD 6870 even i have a INTEL processor sir? which will you most recommend the NVIDIA 560 GTX-IT or AMD 6870? please help thanks alot

  • @kiddoe25 the gtx 560 is 2% faster than the 6870! I would recomend it if you want PhysX and cuda and all that good stuff!

  • guys can u help me i have a

    Dell studio XPS 8100

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz

    and i had ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

    on it. I want it to upgrade to this graphic card but just wondering if will this graphic card will be compatible to my desktop please help thanks.

  • @kiddoe25 Yes it should be as long as you have a pci-e 2.0 slot, enough room in your case and a power supply with 600+ watts and the right connectors (6pin+8pin) However the 5870 is not the fastest card on the market now, if you wanted to stick with amd the fastest card is now the 6970, the replacement for the 5870. Or u can fork out $500 for the fastest currents card nivdias gtx 580. If I where u I would get a nvidia 560 gtx-ti or a amd 6870 both are about $250 and comparable to the 5870 :)

  • Is it just me or does he remind you of Vince Shlomi (Sham Wow guy) But in a good way =D

  • wtf? i have an adapter..u dont need a native monitor with display port..bullshit..the adapter is expensive though

  • @elpibepiola1984 needs to be an active adapter tho

  • this guy sounds like a faaaaaag.

  • @Dingdongfriesaredone He may sound like a fag but it seems that he knows his shit.

  • very nice review i'm doing my own reviews and hope to get more views this weekend i'mgetting a ipod touch 4 for the next review.

  • two 5770's in crossfire = better and cheaper than 5770 :D

  • @Madkillr05 You mean 5770's better and cheaper than 5870? Umm you're right 5770 is just same thing than 5870. 5770 stays stabile even when you've overclocked it to 1,4Ghz.

  • @Maketsup The 5770 uses 128 bit memory, whereas the 5870 uses 256, so even at the same clockspeeds you're going to see better performance out of the 5870, other hardware specs notwithstanding.

  • @rageofheaven i agree I have a 6850 and yet the 5850 has more grunt horsepower so i am using them both

  • Lol my Nvidia GTX 460M does the exact same job.

  • XFX <3

  • I have this card and I love it :)

  • will this card fit in my RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR  SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case? also what cpu were you using with the hd5870.

  • will this card fit in my RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case?

  • @mrpotatoslayer 4350, y are u comparig a desktop card vs a laptop one?

  • which ones better; ATI Radeon x2300 or ATI radeon HD Premium moblility 4350?

  • i want to use triple monitor can i use 2 dvi and 1 displayport to dvi adopter ???

  • @ixy1987 yes, but the adapter needs to be active (usb-powered). Google it, it will work.

  • @ixy1987 yep!

  • WOAHH! i'd never play with three monitors. it looks damn annoying :S

  • 1:50 Exhausts like on Mustang

  • @Mohdrizal1991 man your cpu and ram make hugeeee bottleneck with this card..... he can be super fast if you will get a new system likke i5-750 oc @3.6 and ddr 1333 and a good mobo... you will get 200% bump in performence..

    watch the video of ncix about battlenecks

  • @alonsegel if i upgrade my processor to dual core E6500 2.93ghz?? my pocket already empty for 5870 (T.T)

  • Why is my XFX 5870 Very slowwwwww?

    MY Specs:

    HP Motherboard

    Gigabyte Odin Pro Solid 550W

    Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33Ghz

    4GB 800Mhz RAM

    XFX HD 5870

    Please someone help me!!! T.T

  • @Mohdrizal1991 its your CPU and RAM that are slow or maybe you should update the drivers can be some sort of a bug but what motherboard do you have hp motherboard dosent say so much whats the model?

  • @ToxicFear1336 My motherboard model is IPIBL-LA (Berkeley)

    i have updated to the latest ATI Cataylst driver but it does not help anything.

  • @Mohdrizal1991 Hi mate its your RAM and Processor are slowing the card down.

    Proccesor mainly

  • @Mohdrizal1991 You might have got a defect one. Or as I call it "Monday-card".

  • @LarryOmen well all i know is i have a $20 display to vga adaprt hanging out my gpu and all 2 of my creens are working and on the adater specs its says passive amd now have a list of working eye infinity adapters on the site

  • @LarryOmen or you can just get a $20 diplayport to vga adpater and use a converter that comes with the card

  • I dont get it. Why would get 3 expensive monitors and play your game with those "brackets" that they create? You can just buy a much more cheaper projector.

  • @Bibazavr with less picture

  • @rathy21 Its really cool for Aviation simulator games like HAWX. The eyefinity .

  • @Bibazavr what i was trying to say a projector stretches the picture where as adding two more moniters is adding two more pictures

  • @rathy21 2 more projectors then!

  • @Bibazavr yh you could do that but that would work out more than more moniters and projectors are behind most visual technolgy so they kinda suck when they are the cheap ones but the exspensive ones are nice but its having the room for 3 100inch screens for them :D

  • @rathy21 requirements:

    1 - 5970

    3 - 400 dollar projectors

    3 - 150 inch walls.

  • @Bibazavr if you pull that off you would be a very popular man :P

  • radeon hd 5850

  • i have a GIGABYTE GA-g31m-es2c motherboard can it handle a 5870 please answer =)

  • i have a GIGABYTE GA-g31m-es2c motherboard with one pcie x16 slot cna it handle a ati 5870 graphic card please answer =)

  • lool look to front u are beeing raped buy zombies

  • omg L4D !?

    he should try crysis @Ultra graphics with 3 monitors ..

    L4D says nothing ..!

  • Is this the same as the 5870 1gb ddr5? (the default)

  • whats a native display port monitor?

  • The exhausts make it look like the batmobile =D

  • thinking tech - hurts my brain after a while

  • you would need an active display port connect in order to have triple dvi connection correct?

  • wait, so you only need one Radeon HD 5870 graphic card for an eyefinity setup?

  • Hmm Change it to AMD (NOOOOOOOOOOOO)

  • The big bad Oil corporations r trying their best to stop free energy technology from spreading to common ppl.

    We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating ur own electricity now.

    Visit LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints . Join the Revolution!!

  • I hate NCIX... and doctors and lawyers and cops...

    :DDD

  • hmm you can also use a DP to VGA adapter to enable the 3rd monitor and it works just fine

  • anyone kno the dimensions of this card?

  • can u run eyefinity with more than 1 card? o.0

    cuz i want to run 2 cards in crossfire... but if not, i guess ill combine the money for one huge card i guess

  • @mickifree12 I believe so.

  • @mickifree12 theres some 5870s from xfx.. that does 6 screens with 1 card.

  • Comment removed

  • @captaincough Just wait and they will get some brain surgey graphic card :D

  • @captaincough BTW i prefer ATI cards, but AMD processors, are not the same as their ati graphic cards.... INTEL beats AMD out of this planet :P

  • @captaincough Not to be a bitch, but doesn't Nvidia have better tesselation technology, more mature drivers, and better overclocking? Not to mention better warranty for ones money, like having the extra technology's such as PhsyX and CUDA. Correct if anything is wrong there. I'm actually just double checking on my claims.

  • @captaincough lol ... Then why nvidia gives you better fps in every game ? And why is nvidia the most expensive graphi card in the world? For performance you pay more ofcourse...

  • You retard! Look where u hold the card.... asshole

  • u can use an active dp to dvi adapter... will work that way:P

  • I thought he was a lady when he spoke. LOL, wait... is that a lady my bad...

  • Should I buy this card ? or buy a deck of 52 cards or christmas cards ? Help , should I buy this card or a lottery ticket., should I google it ? my best friend is Amish , Ummm ,I asked him , he does not know what the hell I,m talking about..SHOULD I BUY THIS CARD ? The Radeon HD 5870 ATI & Eyefinity.

  • @xyt455 You might wait for the new HD6850 & HD6870 cards that are coming out in November. They're going to be better and maybe they drop the price of the HD5870 so you could get it cheaper.

  • @xyt455 you should buy your Amish friend a goat.

  • Comment removed

  • @krisisbob , I shall remain friends with my Amish friend ,and buy myself two XFX HD-585X-ZAFC Radeon HD 5850 for crossfire and a GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 motherboard , amd phenom II x 4 955 . Will this be a good build ? ..Thanks

  • God I love closed Captions: So stay tuned for more attention to all of a fetus and his friend dick gephardt. 0:13

  • Those new ATI HD series are just one big sone of the MONSTER....

  • This video + Closed Captions = lol

  • How can you say that your running in high detail while your AA is off and you are using trilinear for AF. put it on 8x AA and 16x AF then show me the FPS. if its still the same performance then I'm impressed.

  • @mikkolangot lol

  • i have a sapphire active displayport to single link dvi adapter and im running eyefinity! :D

  • 0:19 porn music.

  • @Explodius1990 LOL =o

  • Sooooooooooooo Big. . .

  • even HD 5770 is a DirectX 11 card

  • i just want to take your advice on whether i should by the xfx 5870 instead of the gtx 470 as that it has much better performance but at the same time want to buy the gtx 470 because it supports 3d vision and physx.

  • @extreme3Dgamer Go for radeon for now and buy the 3-D glasses because radeon is king for now bbut nvidia's next gen cards will come back so when they come out go for radeon and then nvidia. PLUS developers will adopt 3-D vison so get nvidia's next gen card when they come out

  • ????????

  • why not xp there r drivers for xp on cards website

  • Who are ati?

  • i don't get why they put all the pictures and shit on that side of the card, 99% of users have that face down

  • what an idiot left for dead is the easiest game to run show them crysis douche bag i have 2 5870`s and playing crysis with it makes me jizz

  • @SephXIII88 Naw, Crysis requires pure power, so it's like a hummer on computer resources. LFD source engine is super efficient and has really high graphics output. I run L4D on my 9600GT core 2 duo laptop with everything maxed out at 32fps average. Crisis on the other hand, sucks up resources like beer and the graphics comes out worse than L4D on my computer. Sure Crysis looks great maxed out but it's crytek engine is very inefficient at utilizing hardware.

  • LOL he had cheats on :D

  • Hey, doesn't that guy do reviews on the Linus.. .something channel?

  • Oh, screw nVidia.

    I'm keeping my GTX285 in secondary and getting an HD5870.

  • this is a type of external memory?!

  • @Michael199161 You would have to get one of those expensive, high resolution ones. Anything under 1920x1200 would look slightly disappointing.

  • omg, how can you tough the PCI connectors with your bare hands?!

    That's a no no

  • @donconco It's like he can't get another one. He shows off the card, any reviewer that gets these for free, or can easily get these usually use one as a display model, where they show everything you really need to know.

  • @Michael199161 not only that but Bigger screens are bad for gaming they are pixelated even if they are 1080p smaller screens have same amount of pixels but on a smaller screen so you will get better quality and sharper imaging plus you can bend 3screens so say your in flight school and you need to clock X amount of hours you can build a sweet rig or your into simulators you can do this

  • he likes cock

  • i aint paying 270 fucking quid for this shit how overpriced bet it cost them a fiver to make

  • he sounds gey go on thumb me down
