The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[zerazax]

He was saying Nvidia's response was dumb

BTW wow that RV870 core looks huge for an ATI one

[trinibwoy]

wow that has got to be the dumbest thing ive ever heard

Wow, I'm sure the guy who wrote that went home and took a long shower afteward to wash away the shame

[FischOderAal]

Do you guys think thats possible or is the HD5xxx series too far away?

Official release is 22/23. of september. You can be quite sure AMD is building up stock right now.

Thanks mate. Suppose I should try to wait until the release then.

When are nVidia set to release the GT300-series?

[largon]

^Don't bother. 5800s are more expensive than 4890s and obviously they won't give a free upgrade. You will get a pair of HD4890s.

[jaredpace]

Nothing in the future is certain Imho you should've written "You should be able to buy one in 2 weeks!"

Well yes this is true. Technically you should be able to buy one from Sept. 23rd to the release of Win7 on Oct. 22nd.

You should be able to pick a date in that timeframe as your guess. :P - Thx fischoderaal.

[FischOderAal]

Thx fischoderaal.

Yeah, sorry I'm nitpicking, but I'm in a effin good mood atm

[Tomasis]

Im doing simracing.. 3x monitors would be useful for me. I was planing buy second 24" of high quality.. It means I could place S-IPS monitor in the middle and place two cheap TFT at both sides..

but not only for gaming is useful, for Photoshop, AE it is useful for workflow


chad boga is just game guy and has no clues about digital media world, graphics design etc. leave him alone and let him play

I think you misunderstood me. I arranged it so with my dealer that the HD4890 could be traded in for another card, and of course I will have to pay the additional dollars the 5xxx series will cost.

Btw. when are nVidia going to release their GT300 series?

I don't think they're going to since

Nvidia said in a statement, “The gaming world has moved to dynamic realism, which depicts actual physical movement more realistically than ever before. For example, the No. 1 PC game coming out next week is ‘Batman: Arkham Assyum,’ which takes advantage of graphics plus physics to give it extraordinary realism. Because we support GPU-accelerated physics, our $129 card that’s shipping today is faster than their new RV870 (code name for new AMD chips) that sells for $399.”

No need for GT300, their current GPUs are faster than HD58xx series already.

LOL at nVidia's statement.
I'm sure this time they're dying to release their cards too, just got nothing ATM.

Unlike DX10.1, DX11 is something they can't let pass over.

I wish Ruby had less testosterone.

LOL

Have you even seen the 5870 Crysis benchmark @1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF?

it gets ~40% more fps than the GTX 295, and Crysis prefers nvidia cards!

And the 5870 can play Crysis at 5760x2160 with playable frames, a few months ago someone tried playing Crysis with triple SLI GTX 285's @ 3840x2160 and frames were single digits.

the 5870 is a force to be messed with, I'm not sure if nvidia can keep up this time.

what you just said is that a fairly cheap nvidia card beats a new ATi card at something the ATi card cannot do no matter what because nvidia monopolized that feature.

He was being sarcastic, in other words making fun at the Nvidia statement

he was just taking the piss out of nvidia so chill

[Hornet331]

You do realise it is not only for gamers? Those who likes to view stock graphs, go ahead and buy nvidia with their physx, yay.

Yes, go ahead and choose PhysX. I'm pretty sure a lot of games will play with 3 monitors smoothly too. They've just demo'ed it.

*cough* those who don't game already had sophisticated multimonitor solutions for years, also called matrox

They have specialized products for finance and medical imaging for ages, ati can only dream about entering into those markets.

you're basing your claims on made up numbers on the GTX 295 part; the benchmark result was only for the HD 5870, DX10 Very High, 43fps avg.

no mention on what map was used, what benchmark.
the GTX 295 result you might have seen in a chart was not done with the same benchmark, or the same system, nowhere related. apples vs oranges

You're kidding right?

Batman AA is ONE game m8, and Nvidia has heavily modified the game to run better on their cards.

How the 5870 does in Modern Warfare 2, Crysis 2, Assasin's Creed 2, the new Stalker title, Dirt 2 etc etc will decide if its worth $399.
