Screams in Dirt 2, FarCry 2 and HAWX, %10 better than 5870 in BC2, same as 5870 in Crysis.

Incredibly high power consumption and temperature. Even if you don't care about power consumption, you will care about temperature.

http://i44.tinypic.com/4smiyx.png is this true ? i mean in dx 11 5870 is very close to 480 ?

Hey Fermi ROCKS on Uningine, I LOVE THIS GAME!

Lets hope someone tests with 10.3.

"We increased the fan-speed to 80 per cent (<4,000rpm) and then used EVGA's Precision tool to force up the clocks. From the default 700MHz/1,400MHz/3,698MHz clockings for core, shader and memory, respectively, we hit 800MHz/1,600MHz/ 4,224MHz, representing a 14 per cent increase over stock. System-wide power-draw increases from a peak 475W to 525W.

Looking a the 2,560x1,600 results, Far Cry 2 (8x AA) performance rose from 54.91fps to 61.3fps and DiRT 2 DX11 from 50.69fps to 56.78fps. "

It IS tested with 10.3a .

my verdict: if it weren't for the temperature it would be worth it, since its price can be justified for its performance. But now it isn't.

From these numbers it seems (the 480) to be anywhere from 0 to 40% faster,with somewhat 15-20 on average.Weird differences, no speedup in crysis, massive in hawx(no tessaltion there).
There is one characteristic however that stays consistent with transistor increase over 5870 tho.Power consumption is solid 50% higher :P.
Would like to view other reviews with more games however.

Unless it's crashing from the temp, I don't really care about that, either :shrug: .

I've been seeing sites saying this for the last month so it wouldn't be too suprising.

That's alright.... we want MORE!

It's DX11. I think GTX480 is much faster in DX10 though. Go figure.

Hmmm, surprising that Nvidia was able to pull out a win in Hawx. Also surprising is that it seems like HD 5870 might be doing better at ultra high-res/AA, at least when it doesn't run out of memory.

I'm thinking Fermi isn't quite as bad as R600 was, but I can only see two differences: 1. AA isn't broken 2. Nvidia decided it would get the performance crown no matter what kind of cooling and how many watts it would mean :rotf:

AMD can definitely beat or at least tie for the single GPU performance crown with a new SKU, and hopefully they do. They might just position HD 5970 against it since it consumes less power(!), is a fair bit faster, and probably costs less to make. That would be a mistake though, a lot of people want a fast single GPU card.

oh yeah left over from when i ran furmark on my 5870 and 5970:D

Looking at those, the 480GTX isn't that much better than the 5870.

I'll be holding onto my 4870X2 longer it seems. I've no interest in Metro, so I won't be killing my X2 any time soon with a game.

Hopefully when the new ATI and second revision of Fermi is out there'll also be some good DX11 games. :)

Until I'll be quite happy. Looks like my X2 might last as long as my 8800GTX did before it died :D

I wonder if it ever happened that single GPU consumed more power than dual GPU.

It also puts nV dual GPU out of the question period.

yeah and its with 10.2 driver with 10.3a i expect ati to be faster than 480 in dirt 2 with dx 11 well gtx 480 is really mixed bag don't know they bragged about dx 11 and tess so much now they perform worse in it :p:

these tests are with 10.3a.. yea yea, I know you are an ati fanboy.

The other leaked site had some bizarre results too. The 5870 pulled ahead on stalker in dx11.

Good god those load temps are really quite frightening. Almost 100*C at load? As much as I would be up for buying one of these those temps really have me concerned.

My room is normally close to 30*C in the summer I just dont see how I could have a single card, much less SLI function with anything less than 100% on fan, and thats not even for overclocking. :down:

I guess we'll see what hexus's temps were at 80% fan speed, that will be the make or break as far as I'm concerned. I just cannot buy something that pulls that much power and runs that hot.

Im sure watercooled these chips will be fantastic but air cooled seems to be pushing it to say the least.
