when IS the NDA lifted on these things?
Yeah, I know a lot people will have mid-towers and are thinking about getting a shorter graphics card... and know what? It turns out to take as much space as the big 5870! Why did they do that?I like the side design...

That chart says 2.5GHz, which is 0.4ns
Thanks. So 5750, 5770, 5850 & 5870 ram should all overclock to around ~1300mhz? Jeez.

Oct 12 or 13th, haven't heard anything concrete.
Depending on voltage, yes.

Photoshop fun!

I think its fugly where the power connector is on the 5850. It just looks out of place, power connects to fake vent(even says so in manual "power in vent") lol. Id really like to see a standard cooler design from the 5 series top down. It makes me think theres more under the hood when they all look the same. For the most part they look similar, but Im a detail guy and look for perfection. If you look at the market these days, even how the hardware looks can impact buying decisions. I know I try to make everything match my black setup and even pay more for things just cuz they black. Does it make sense no, but it looks tight!Yeah, I know a lot people will have mid-towers and are thinking about getting a shorter graphics card... and know what?

AMD has the performance/watt advantage. BY A LOT.
I'm guessing part of the reason these cards are somewhat underperforming(the 5870 SHOULD perform 10-30 better than the 4870x2 as there's no driver overhead and CF inefficiencies) compared to what many expected is due to power efficiency optimizations. That and poor drivers. I'm still saying that we can expect around a 10-30% performance boost in many apps if we just give it time.
Still, Specs are wrong a week before launch :/
You're the one who is being wrong.
latest pics Bit-tech out there with 5770
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/gra...deon-hd-5770/1
new one here PCB layout is DIFFERENTUmm... What do you mean by "package"?
The grey rectangle is the silicon die (backside of it), there's no "package" the die would be buried in, except maybe a coat of chemically protective lacquer.
And it's roughly 12mm×15mm -> ~180mm², likely a few mm² more.
I hope these live up to expectations, ideally at a £125 price point.
Wait so this means there will be no software voltage control?

think so...

The radial cooler also has vents in the black plastic base to cool the VRMs underneath, but there's no heatsink to cool them and they don't feature the fancy software controlled digital PWMs of the 5800 series - these are the standard MOSFET style with large chokes.

yup i'm here studying but am originally from the states.
Anyway, that sucks, if I can't softmod them then I think I'll just shell out for a 5850

they're looking good, although, not beating dual 4850's good, maybe voltage tweak will fix that
stock cooler gives no cooling on the ram, where i wonder if the greatest performance increase can be had when OCingthey're looking good, although, not beating dual 4850's good, maybe voltage tweak will fix that
Looks like they pulled the story
Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks
Slides! No 1120sp rumour though

so the 5770 is a 4890, with gimped ram
Lower power consumption, cheaper and smaller as well.
wow what a surprise
