Do you guys think the rumour is true that there won't be a 5870x2?
Just a 5970 or whatever they will call it.

Why do all saphire products have to have craply rendered girls on them, spend some time getting them to look good like asus's!
Those pics confirm HD5850 actually uses a different, shorter PCB than that of HD5870.
cant wait for a thermalright cooler to be announced
there will be. just will coincidentally come out around the time of gt300 :up:Quote:

does anyone have an idea if old heatsinks/waterblocks will fit this? i got a DD 2900 full coverage block i might wanna modify to fit one of these, would be nice since it was so expensive.
apparently its same standard mounting they used for a while :up:Quote:

Otherwise the 5870 seems to be a better deal at ~£275 inc VAT.
Man that 5870 is slick. The sticker isn't great, but I don't have have a window in my new case anyway :D. It'll be interesting to see what the other manufacturers have.
No, the mounting holes are the same from the 2000 series to the 4000 series.Quote:

sorry I should have explained myself better. Those images don't appear to be the real card. If you look at the larger image, you will see that where I've circled on the image, the sticker overlaps the expansion slot.Quote:

Considering the dimensions of the card, the XFX livery with Green and Black will look VERY nice.

Yeah, it's supposedly called the 5870 Six, although it looks like it's about the same size as the 5870 X2 is rumoured to be, but we'll have to see.Quote:

Where did you get them specs of 2Gb on the Eyefinity6 Nsnegative ?
Ruby has pimples on her cheek, couldnt they find any other girls? like someone who actually looked good? whats wrong with the marketing team, that girl is disgusting. With her long neck she looks like a giraffe. But atleast the 5870 is good lol.
the lighting is horrible too, i think i saw a black and white photo some dozen pages back where you can see all the details, when she wasnt just all yellow colored.

looks like the 5850 is slightly shorter than the 4850, only a little bit shorter though.Quote:

Good one jaredpace!
If they don't make a single slot 5850 I'm not buying this gen.:shakes:
Hey, if you wanna stick with 2 gen old cards, then by all means. If they make a single slot version of a card that's faster than the GTX285 then that would be great. But to completely ignore an upgrade that's easily 3x+ the performance of your current cards because it's dual slot? That's just silly considering your current setup already takes up 2 PCIE slots :confused:Quote:

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww, wth man? thats the ugliest ruby ive ever seen!
please tell me its a joke pcgh pulled and its not really supposed to be ruby...
and idk what you guys are talking about the cards are terribly ugly!
it looks like a brick from far away, its cheap plastic all over the cards, like the crap china had to find another use for other the cheapo plastic toy scandal that contained poisonous substances... great, now we;re getting it stuck to our vgas...
and what are those 2 bloody nostrils on the sides of the cards supposed to be good for? cooling? look good? fail and fail...
the only card that has a propper airflow design is the 6 display card... the airflow and noise on the other cards is going to be cr4p...
from all those cards the 5770 actually looks the best imo!
the plastic shroud looks a lot more stylish and expensive than the other cards...
i really really hope there will be cards with non ref heatsinks for launch!
who the h3ll cares about dual dvi outputs if you can use an adapter?
You on drugs man?Quote:

The 4770/5770 cooler is actually CHEAPER than the 5870/5850 cooler, that goes without saying. Cypress cards even come with a backplate which is awesome, no more curved/bending PCBs. They fix what everyone is complaining about on their current cards, cooling the VRMs, and now people are complaining about how the cooler looks due to it's new design.
You cannot please everyone but this cooler looks awesome, especially without the stickers, and I cannot wait to play with one.
Edit- cooling performance and noise is handled much better than previous reference coolers.
You can get single slot waterblooksQuote:

Most Full Cover GPU blocks are single slot. Here is one of my EK's on a 3870X2.

You could go with the LT as well, it's a tad cheaper.
With those big ass tubes coming out of the card it really takes up about 3 or 4 slots...hell, maybe 5! :rofl:Quote:

Thats a badass WC setup, sadasius! I always wonder are WC rigs silent, even though there are radiator fans they must be ultra-low RPM.
Yeah they can be but mine is made for performance....Want to see how loud some of the fans can get? Just click one of my youtube links in my sig. I use all San Ace fans from 2000 rpm to 6000 rpm on GTX rads. Once the 5870X2 comes out it will take it's place. Who knows maybe even 2 5870X2's! :shocked:Quote:

Mine looks like that because I am almost cooling everything I can think of plus added a few more things with all 1/2" X 3/4" tubing.
My 4870X2 EK block is single slot as well... not sure where this dual slot talk is coming from
There are a number of "single-slot" waterblocks out there that don't recess their bolts, so all you need is for them to tip a few millimeters to the side and their screws will short out whatever card is immediately below them.
The second DVI port makes it dual slot no matter what block you use.So no crossfire,I have ATI tvwonder 650,and X-FI Xtrememusic in the pci slot's.This is my mobo.http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9519/209162950.jpg
Has it been confirmed if the mounting holes are the same yet?
hes quite right, why they force you to use duel slot only is kinda dumb. but that is something very easily controlled by the manufacturer. so with some luck, there will be single slot optionsQuote:

Yes, based on my calculations from the leaked PCB shots the mounting holes are the same :)Quote:

well the core detects as 850mhz and the ram as 1200mhz under CCC
As far as I remember to OC using CCC I open it, hit diplay options correct? I tried every tab anyway, can't seem to find it using these drivers.
I can say on my stock clocked i7 965 it's not playable in crysis warhead full hd res with 8x aa, was reallly smooth without the aa at enthausist settings, maybe 2x aa is doable. lol I'll try to run some benches on that, I only have that and the heroes of newerth beta installed :(
Don't know if this has been posted yet put it shows 5870 performance vantage score being just under 16000 which puts it about 60% faster than stock 4890.

Sept. 22/23 or Oct. 13 are the same date for me, since I won't buy a DX11 card until Q1 2010.:rolleyes:
*BTW, my sig. is 4 days old.:D
Hhahah! good points, labs23 and nice sig. Looks like you're waiting for the nvidia dx11 cards, or low-end ati 5000 cards.
I sure hope they don't delay store purchases until oct 13th. that is just insane. Too bad it isn't friday the 13th of october :)
You'll need to aim higher than that. I'm playing the demo at 2560x1600, 8xAA on a lowly GTX 285 :)Quote:

Having said that I believe with proper drivers and a healthy overclock -5870- to reach the 20000 mark, still my card would be 20%-30% faster. Not too shabby for a previous gen card...
Having said that, synthetics do not tell much, I'm looking forward to see how the new ATI cards perform on real world gaming, I would hope that it would trump any previous gen card (like it should)...

What do you think would happen if we took 2 x HD 5870? Yours is a dual GPU and most importantly ATI didnt aim with HD 5870 for ultra high end. We still have to see xx90 and X2 cards. ;)Quote:
