Computer specs on my channel.

The purpose of this video to show you the performance of an HD 5870 combined with the Xeon W3580@4400 MHz.

The image quality with the catalyst settings I made is good in my opinion, but not as good as nvidia cards (had a GTX285). For me smoothness is more important than a superb image quality and with the 5870 FSX runs smooth, even with REX weather and in high dense areas like JKFK.

FSX Addons: FTX YSTW 7cm, REX 2.0, UT II. FSX Settings: LOD Radius: 6.5000, Scenery compl: Very dense, Scenery dens: Vrey dense, Traffic:35%. System: Windows 7, Catalyst 9.11, XFX HD 5870, VGA Settings (Catalyst) = AA: 8x (Wide-tent), AAMode: Adaptive...

  • nice vid, but without Vsync FSX looks horrible and that is why I do not want Ati card because there is no way how to turn Vsync on without any problems in FSX (flashing image sometime...). And nothing helps (Ati tray, dx overrider). It is very said, because it has big impact on general impression

  • After a view weeks with ATI 5870 I can only say u are right. This card is faster than GTX285 but the IQ... Still hope for new drivers!

  • Thank you!

    In my opinion it is not worth to spend the money for W3580, if you already have a i7 950. You hardly can see the difference between both.

    What I'm rely sure about is, that the new Nvidia Fermi GPU will give us more smoothness, but only if you have at least a i7 which is clocked at 4400MHz or more.

  • Appreciate your advice!!! But usually, OC 4.4ghz needs watercooling for stable running. Is your last video flying at KJFK tested on air? Your video flying at KJFK and Manhattan becomes my benchmark for testing my fsx performance and stability. :-)

  • I always use watercooling for my CPU.

    Cheers

see all

  • and with fraps recording?

  • which recorder?

  • How stable was your overclock with the w3580 on the p6t7? I myself have w3520 and i cant seem to get my overclock stable past 3.8ghz

  • how many fps do you get with 100% ai traffic in megairports?

  • Hi, Catalyst 10.1 has less shimmering and a litle bit better performance. But, I'm honestly I will buy the nvidia as soon they are out...

  • I can not tell the difference between having my CPU clocked at 4.0GHz and anything above that. It just does not reflect in FSX.
