The power of this card stays at 180W while in idle the power drops down to 27W, three times less than the 90W on 4870.Originally Posted by Hornet331

Did any information get released about new anisotropic filtering method?

Wow, look at the dates, this particular 2gb 5870 "six" (trillian) board has been around since july. heh.

Supposedly around 20-30w idle.Indeed, so much topics concerning the same theme was kinda annyoing.
Btw. i anyone know something about idle consumption (power play)?

Hopefully this is a sign that drivers will be relatively mature come launch. It looks like ATi have been planning this card for taking back the performance crown. IMHO the HD4800 series was ATi's comeback! This is going to be their encore!Wow, look at the dates, this particular 2gb 5870 "six" (trillian) board has been around since july. heh.

Stop looking at the walls, look out the window
Why are they still making 1Gb parts? Should leave 1Gb for for 5850...

I agree
For me 1GB is the new 512MB and 2GB is the new 1GB. It's surprising just how many games DO benefit from the extra VRAM.

From official AMD slides from the closed threads, it's 27 Watts.
I wish Gautam had let this http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4007933#post4007933 open instead of this one. Oh well, rain in the pictures again guys.

its amazing how fast time passes...
Doing a bit of a shameless threadjack am I the only person here relishing what Magic Sapphire will pull out of their hats with the VaporX and Atomic version's of the HD5870? WILL we see 3 Terraflops and 2GB with a cool and quiet cooling solution?
I hope so

Let's hope they're right. In the mean time, is it so unreasonable for people with first-hand experience to have skepticism when history hasn't always shown the driver side of things to be all that pleasant? I mean you make it sound like any negative opinion is irrelevant. This isn't just a question of monitor support, it's in some portion a question of Crossfire support, which wasn't covered by those editors.

It's strange. Since so few will be using this feature this couldn't possible be a problem. Besides, the slides says that HL2 is compatible with Eyefinity and I'm assuming this means extended FOV and not just increased resolution since three screens would make it look absolutely ridiculous.
And yeah, foveal vision is much better than peripheral vision. But somehow I still think my peripheral vision has saved my ass more than once. The greatest experience would probably be Eyefinity (or rather extended FOV) combined with TrackIR...
You can only account for history when there are indicators suggesting that it will be repeated. Not wild "I'm not sure" or "I have no information but I will say it anyway" suck-a-sations.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It's been stated that CF doesn't work with Eyefinity at the moment but will come with driver updates. And I would assume all displays are compatible with showing what they are being told to show? It's not like one display knows what the others are showing...
At last, Samsung GDDR5. Hoping for nice memory OCs.
You were not supposed to see this.
Have any pics been released for the 5850? Looking at the length of the 5870 I doubt it would fit in my case. Hope the 5850 is a little shorter. Case is lian li A05B.
Largon, can you tell anything about the oc potential, or latency from the part numbers on the memory chips?

Not when going above spec, since every IC will perform differently but you can at least see what specification they are and the bin.Largon, can you tell anything about the oc potential, or latency from the part numbers on the memory chips?

Now these are really nice pictures... but I'm sure you're all dieing to hear about performanceFrom official AMD slides from the closed threads, it's 27 Watts.
I wish Gautam had let this http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4007933#post4007933 open instead of this one. Oh well, rain in the pictures again guys.. I happen to know the numbers. From what I've been told (confidential source):
5870 is 100% faster than 4870 (2x)
5870 will surpass GTX295
5850 will surpass GTX285
Quote me on it. You'll see. You're welcome!
Has this been posted?
http://www.techpowerup.com/103612/Ra...n_Spotted.htmlRadeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition Spotted
Among the three main high-end graphics SKUs AMD has in store for this 23rd known so far (namely Radeon HD 5850, HD 5870 1GB, and HD 5870 2GB), is a fourth distinct SKU called the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition. This is a variant of the Radeon HD 5870 with specially-designed connectivity that makes setting up to six displays possible/convenient for making use of the Eyefinity multi-display technology that lets you span a display-head across several physical displays like a mosaic.
On its panel, the card has a large air-vent occupying one slot, and six mini-DisplayPort connectors occupying the other. Necessary cabling will be provided to connect to the displays. While each accelerator supports six displays in all, multiple accelerators can be installed on the same PC without any multi-GPU setup, to scale the size of the resulting display by up to 24 displays and up to 268 megapixels of effective resolution. It remains to be seen if there are similar Eyefinity Edition SKUs based on other AMD GPUs in the series, especially considering the fact that the company is also eying the business/productivity market segment ............
Thanks. however this is what we have been hearing all along so nothing new realy.Now these are really nice pictures... but I'm sure you're all dieing to hear about performance

also 5870 will need to be more than %100 faster than 4870 to surpass GTX295.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
