I bought this card (Diamond Ati 5870) for my Crosshair IV Formula mobo w/ AMD 1055t proccy and 8Gb of G.SKILL Flare RAM and it absolutely rocks! I'm getting over 5,000 ppd in folding@home using all 6 cores at 100% AND I can still game on it at the same time!!!
i think 5770 might not be able play crysis. i just ordered a new rig with 5770 and i just checked new games requirements it barely meets the recommended requirements
just wait for the new gta300series they will own ati AGAIN.even a single gtx300 series card will beat two 5870s. no joke i spent an hr looking up facts in google,and all that shit.
A GTX380 will be about 10% to 15% faster 5870 from what specs suggest, but will also be hotter, more power hungry, more expensive and in very very late to market.
Fermi should hit shops in Feb/Mar/Apr, by that time you might aswell have bought a 5800/5900. ATI 6000 series is set for launch in October 2010.
lol your both stupid there aint gonna be no more gtx cards ad fermi has ati technolgy the only reason it aint been realeased yet is because ati and nvidia are argueing how much ati get of each gpu sold
Fermi isn't a card full stop, it's the name of the chip/architecture that will power both Tesla (workstation, hpc) and GeForce (consumer, gaming) cards from Nvidia in the future.
A Tesla card based on Fermi would be able to play COD4.
There are no patent disputes with Fermi that prevent it going on sale, Nvidia isn't in dispute with ATI.
omg do your research ati helped create dx11 thats why they had the first dx11 cards nividia had to buy the technolgy off ati to create dx11 cards and ati want a precentage of each unit sold and they wont agree on a number plus nvidia servely undistimated ati with the 5800 series and thats why the gt300 wont launch to the 2nd quater of next year
DirectX is Microsoft's technology, ATI was just first to market with a card that supports DirectX 11.
ATI may have helped Microsoft during the development and ATI cards may have been used, but that doesn't grant them rights to it. Where did you read they own parts of DX11?
Nvidia may have underestimated ATI 5000 but they were not complacent. Fermi was meant to launch in November with Windows 7 but they're having difficulty producing such a large chip, now it looks like Feb/March at best :)
put it this way nvidia usally get in first but nvidia had a falling out with microsoft a while a go so this time ati stepped in and created the chip with microsoft for the cards to run dx11 and nvidia have used ati gpu chip that allowed them to run dx11 why do you think dx10 cards cant run dx11 coz the gpus have the chips allowing them built in to the board if i get time i will send the links to the sites
DX 10 cards can't run DX 11 games because they don't meet the requirements. For example, a GPU has to have tessellation and support for DirectCompute to be DX11 complaint.
ATI has always ensured complete compatibility with the latest DX releases in new cards. 2000, 3000 and 4000 series cards support features pulled from DirectX 10 (pulled because Nvidia couldn't be bothered to implement them basically) :)
Physx was pretty much made by Nvidia and for Nvidia so you wouldn't be seeing it in ATI and you don't really need it since not many developers are gonna put their eggs in Nvidia's basket when more and more ATI cards are being sold.
Except this is a single GPU card that uses less power, doesn't suffer from micro stuttering and the HD5870 X2 will completely blow the GTX 295 out of the water considering a single 5870 can already beat it in many things.
I'm not sure when it's coming out. I'd assume that ATi might follow the trend of what they have been doing lately. Wait for GTX 300 then release 5870X2, re-take the performance crown, and drop prices on their existing 58xx cards to make them more affordable than nVidia's new cards...
Yes, but the GTX295 is a duel cored card... While the 5870 is only one single card.... So of course it's going to out perform a single card. Thats common sence...
Ive never tried ATI in my year of PC gaming, I think Im gonna get this. The fact it also uses fuck loads less power than the GTX 295, and thats beast for a single GPU
yeap im with you to bud. I was thinking of getting the nvidia 295 but im hearing and reading way to much good things on this card.But then again there saying the nvidia 300gt is gonna eat 5870 for luch .
True, but the 300 series will just be like this card in many ways, I dont think they'll be too much difference. I still might get one instead of nvidia for a change. Im not a nvidia fanboy. Ive only ever had one ;P
I wanna get the new 5870 card but ill only get it if it comes with lifetime warranty. anyone know if this card comes with the lifetime warranty or any other 5870 manufacture comes with it?
They will loss over 30% of 2010 revenue then even more onwards.
Intel as its new onchip MGCPU the same time as their court case with Nvidia. Plus its chip-sets will become a thing of legend as no more will be designed.
What will Nvidia do then. You must realize that a company set to lose 30+% revenue is a company in-trouble.
When ATI releases the Hemlok (58xx X2)
Nvidia top end cards will need 2x295 or more costing silly prices so for price-power AMD-ATI is the future
Nvidia is fine. They have tegra and are entering different markets to make up for the desktop losses. Also the 300 series is going to bridge the gap. It isn't about games anymore, its about grid computing with CUDA and stream. Whoever dominates there is going to fuck everbody up
please don't forget the 200 series finished being out what 6 od months ago. how can u expect x-gen cards to be complaint with current tech.
i personally prefer nvidia because the cards that come out with ati at the same time are generally always better. so dont celebrate yet till the 300 series is out.
i think if these rumors on the 300 series is true then i think i will finally be buying an ati card. things like them making it a HPC card means its pretty useless for gamers and costs like 1k.
Heh, I use to be a fan of ATI but when I got one of there video cards last year they were all defective (I went back and had them replaced 4 times) then gave up went to Nvidia and have been happy ever since, now I got duel EVGA 295 I have no worries.
lol it would seem so that week, it was their 1 gig video card, might have been the 4890 I think...I just kept getting video mem errors, and I even replaced the mobo once just to make sure (all warranty thank god :D)
Hell ya baby but still i gonna wait to they release ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series so i can upgrade my laptops graphic card and processor to AMDs new Quad Core
I got HP Pavilion dv7 series with ATi Mobility radeon HD 4650 and a AMD Athlon QL-65 2.1GHz my card is not integrated so i can upgrade but if you can't upgrade it's possible it's integrated to the motherboard which mean you gotta get a new laptop.
I can say that you can buy a laptop for descend prize and ask HP to upgrade it i'm gonna wait for that until AMD release quad Core and ATi mobility radeon HD 5xxx series
also, nvidia's cards are geared still towards high texture filtering (while that is the older technique) ati has shifted over to true processing to replace filtering in the near future. ati does have the newest and greatest technology its just waiting for game makers to catch up
Nvidia still uses DDR3, so even if they have over 1Gb of data, and over 512Mb of output, their cards are still weaker than ATI. My reasoning? Play any game at max settings. NO, not 4x or 8x AA and AF, I mean 24xAA and 16xAF. You will see ATI spank the shit out of Nvidia because of the GDDR5 being able to take full advantage of highest settings.
Even bench websites like tomshardware or guru3d don't use max setting.(you can force 24x AA n 16xAF by using the GFX's setup menu, example CCC for ATI)
once game developers start to take advantage of multi-threading the ATI cards are gonna skyrocket, of the 1600 SPs in the 5870 only approx 320 are being used for most current games. once all the SPs get opened up ati will be downright threatening to the competition
Hmm I thought this card would provide much more impressive results. I'll be waiting for some true next gen cards to launch, I probably won't buy another card until Crysis 2 comes out.
im a little bit dissapointed with this card, i think when they improve their drivers we´ll see the real power, bacause only 15% increase compared with the gtx 285 doesnt look too impresive, i mean its great but remember that when nvidia comes with a new family of cards the high end ones are generally 30% or even 50% more powerful than the previous family, so nothing is decided yet, we have to wait for the new nvidias and the new ati drivers
There is nothing about fanboysim here, simple fact. I'm amazed by the amount of people who seem to believe the GTX295 can be compared to the HD5870. You are comparing Apples and Oranges.
The GTX295 is 2 GPU's in one, while the 5870 is a single gpu. Wait for the HD5870x2 then compare because I gaurantee you the x2 will absolutelys smash the GTX295 to its mommy.
dont mean to diss but i rather get a second ps3 over that 5870.
plus if you already have tri sli 8800 ultra like my friend.... no need to downgrade to 5870.
same goes to 9800gx2.... if u already have 9800gx2.... not worth to get 5870 but the video poster seems not to be a normal consumer.... and seems can spin any amount of money at will so at his situation is different.
I don't know about you guys, but on alot of those benchmarks the GTX 295 beat the HD 5870 almost every single time, coupled with the fact it performed better on both the Pi and 3D Mark Vantage tests.
GTX 295 is a dual gpu. The HD 5870 should be compared to GTX 285 where the HD 5870 will smoke the GTX 285. If you want to make the comparison with GTX 295, wait for the 5870x2.
yea but this is brand new will get better with drivers n such also this is still over $100 cheaper than a 295 and is also a single gpu compared to dual 295
like i said that may be true but ur comparing it to a card that is over $100 more and this is only a single gpu as opposed to a dual gpu. also wait for new drivers to come out and then we'll see
Nvidia people are crying right now, they are saying "fuc**** AMD people", ATI rocks!!, monopoly sucks!!, nvidia and intel use monopoly but now amd will kick their ass
i think i will get this baby and a new motherboard for xmas, cant wait lol, plus cod 6 and assasins creed 2 its gonna be a hell of a cristmas for me :P
I love the looks of it =] thats a bonus as well as the technical brilliance of it... im gonna wait till christmas and see what happens, price will probably drop by then, as good as it is, its not worth the current price

It's not running on only 1x6pin or 8pin connection, that's just not possible for a GPU like Fermi. It's a huge die, 3 billion transistors.
I imagine it'll run with 2x6pin or 1x8pin + 1x6pin connection like 5850/5870. That doesn't mean it'll have similar power draw though.

I got HP Pavilion dv7 series with ATi Mobility radeon HD 4650 and a AMD Athlon QL-65 2.1GHz my card is not integrated so i can upgrade but if you can't upgrade it's possible it's integrated to the motherboard which mean you gotta get a new laptop.

aww crap!
thanks for the reply
i guess i'll just build a rig instead
ricardop56 2 years ago
I can say that you can buy a laptop for descend prize and ask HP to upgrade it i'm gonna wait for that until AMD release quad Core and ATi mobility radeon HD 5xxx series

also, nvidia's cards are geared still towards high texture filtering (while that is the older technique) ati has shifted over to true processing to replace filtering in the near future. ati does have the newest and greatest technology its just waiting for game makers to catch up

Nvidia still uses DDR3, so even if they have over 1Gb of data, and over 512Mb of output, their cards are still weaker than ATI. My reasoning? Play any game at max settings. NO, not 4x or 8x AA and AF, I mean 24xAA and 16xAF. You will see ATI spank the shit out of Nvidia because of the GDDR5 being able to take full advantage of highest settings.
Even bench websites like tomshardware or guru3d don't use max setting.(you can force 24x AA n 16xAF by using the GFX's setup menu, example CCC for ATI)

once game developers start to take advantage of multi-threading the ATI cards are gonna skyrocket, of the 1600 SPs in the 5870 only approx 320 are being used for most current games. once all the SPs get opened up ati will be downright threatening to the competition

Hmm I thought this card would provide much more impressive results. I'll be waiting for some true next gen cards to launch, I probably won't buy another card until Crysis 2 comes out.

anyways, 5870 fans and owners, wait for a year or more when ati launch a good driver for this video card, when ati launch a new model too.

keep in mind the GTX295 is a dual core GPU while the HD5870 is a single core GPU
at this time the HD5870 is the worlds fastest single core GPU
when nVidia launches its GT300 series you can make a fair comparison like HD5870x2 vs GTX 395

im a little bit dissapointed with this card, i think when they improve their drivers we´ll see the real power, bacause only 15% increase compared with the gtx 285 doesnt look too impresive, i mean its great but remember that when nvidia comes with a new family of cards the high end ones are generally 30% or even 50% more powerful than the previous family, so nothing is decided yet, we have to wait for the new nvidias and the new ati drivers

And to correct you sam lopez, the HD5870 is $379 from newegg

The heck is wrong with you 2318niggZER.
There is nothing about fanboysim here, simple fact. I'm amazed by the amount of people who seem to believe the GTX295 can be compared to the HD5870. You are comparing Apples and Oranges.

hahhahaha GTX 295 still best... but it´s too expensive
GreenySVK 2 years ago
Uhhh compare a single GPU with a double one, yeah right... wait for the HD5870x2 and then compare...
TheRepublicNL 2 years ago 4
The GTX295 is 2 GPU's in one, while the 5870 is a single gpu. Wait for the HD5870x2 then compare because I gaurantee you the x2 will absolutelys smash the GTX295 to its mommy.
sectumsempra55 2 years ago 2
Yes and gtx 295 isn't dx11. Let's wait till the next set of nvidia cards to see who rules.

looks 5850 looks like a good upgrade to me ( from a 4870512mb ). but i'm gonna wait atleast 6 months though
SchaapjeDeluxe 2 years ago
By then you should see a good price drop with this card and better drivers. But before you know it they'll release the 6870.

Don't forget that only this card supports Dx11 and multi core graphics support from the CPU to the graphics card.
When Dx11 comes out this will supposedly run better.

dont mean to diss but i rather get a second ps3 over that 5870.
plus if you already have tri sli 8800 ultra like my friend.... no need to downgrade to 5870.
same goes to 9800gx2.... if u already have 9800gx2.... not worth to get 5870 but the video poster seems not to be a normal consumer.... and seems can spin any amount of money at will so at his situation is different.

PC > Consoles. That being said one day all consoles will be exactly like pc's using mouses and keyboards etc. I'm pretty sure 1 5870 > 9800gx2.

I don't know about you guys, but on alot of those benchmarks the GTX 295 beat the HD 5870 almost every single time, coupled with the fact it performed better on both the Pi and 3D Mark Vantage tests.
Just some food for thought

GTX 295 is a dual gpu. The HD 5870 should be compared to GTX 285 where the HD 5870 will smoke the GTX 285. If you want to make the comparison with GTX 295, wait for the 5870x2.
ravy02 2 years ago 2
yea but this is brand new will get better with drivers n such also this is still over $100 cheaper than a 295 and is also a single gpu compared to dual 295
ahhshytson 2 years ago
ahh kk, thanks for clearing that up. in that case HD 5870 here i come
ChuckDude61 2 years ago
like i said that may be true but ur comparing it to a card that is over $100 more and this is only a single gpu as opposed to a dual gpu. also wait for new drivers to come out and then we'll see

Nice benches...the only reason why the 295 wins some is because of the extra memory at that resolution.
What did you benchmark after COD:WaW? ...doesn't say...
