The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

Thats got to be beta driver issue or something like that. My HD 4890 @ 1Ghz could push all enthusiast at 1920x1200 with no AA. Since you are playing at 1920x1080 there is no reason why your card shouldnt be able to at least run 4xAA.

I understand it as,
0xAA good and play.
8xAA not so good.
the rest of the AA he didnt test.

[~CS~]

Am not sure how you got the card , but thats nice !!! 22 k on 3d mark06 , thats screaming ! and thats on beta drivers .


Also there seems to be an identification number on the fan which you should have covered up or someone might get into trouble .

[postumus]

the card is kinda loud imo, but I've heard worse for sure. I can't see any options to oc it under CCC on these drivers, so no idea how far can it go, and it's ati oem.

[Lightman]

Thanks for sharing postumus

Can you also run 3DMark Vantage including all subtests (I know, boring) in Performance and Extreme presets please?
That would give us a lot of synthetic data to go with

Also your 3DMark06 run without 16AF forced gives almost the same score as mine 4870CF 850/1050 on Phenom II 4033MHz!! That's nice!

3d06 is going to be cpu limited, even with an i7 AFAIK...

Nice to see you being so helpful for the community postumus, and I'm sure you now are the object of quite a bit of jealousy here at XS.

If you have standard Crysis(not warhead), and a save game on the iced over part of the game(If you don't, I can probably send you a save from that level, or you could just use the console to load that level instantly IIRC), could you do me a favor and give it a run through with AA all maxed out? If that doesn't make the card choke, I think I might end up biting the bullet and buying one of these things.

I'll likely still wait for NVidia's card, just so I don't have to pay $399 for one, but it'd still be nice to see how well these cards handle that kind of stress.

[KoHaN69]

to postumus, or anyone:

Are the core mounts the same as X1800, X1900, 3870, 4870 -will an HR-03 or maze4 fit?

AND:
IS the heatsink disposablable (like 4870) so the gpu can be cooled with hr03 while the rest of the card is covered by stock hsf?

[postumus]

I dont have crysis reg installed but I could , and ya i would need a save file to do that but sure lmk

Dont i have to "buy" 3d mark vantage to run it tho?

[FischOderAal]

Dont i have to "buy" 3d mark vantage to run it tho?

First of all I want to say THANK YOU as well

You can run Vantage once without buying it. Maybe someone has a Vantage-key he doesn't need, if I remember correctly EVGA gave them away?!

[strange|ife]

Wow, i did not expect you to deliver! you're a lucky one hehe.

lots of dust on that fan heh.


thing is a monster

[postumus]

Dunno if the fittings are the same, it's a pretty heavy card I can tell you that much so the hsf inside is likely larger. \

Uhh some1 earlier pointed me towards the NFS Swift demo, I dled and installed it, but I dont see anyway to bench it. That said I tried it at 1920x1080x16AFx8aa and it runs smooth as silk

[postumus]

if any1 knows how to bench NFS swift LMK otherwise I'm going to uninstall the demo, I only have 1 wd velicoraptor 300gb hd, that's not much space.

[Booj]

Someone give him a vantage key! If i had more than one it'd be yours
Well done man nice card

[astrallite]

You could simply start a new game with Crysis. The 3rd cutscene is the C-130 descent scene, which is actually one of the most punishing scenes in game.

At 1920x1080 Very High DX10 (no AA/AF ), with a GTX 285 SSC and 4ghz i7 I was averaging probably 18fps in that scene. A 2nd 285 SSC brought that up to about 27fps.

If the AMD performance slides are correct the HD5870 should average around ~22fps on the C-130 descent. If it gets that high I'd be VERY impressed, considering a GTX295 probably gets no more than 23-24fps.

If you only have Crysis Warhead, I'd be interested on the lowest framerate you get on the intro scene as well as the smoke effects are pretty demanding on the system.

What are the average FRAPS?


Oh, and thanks for all your benches. Maybe even do some older game demos and see how high you can get those fraps numbers.

[jaredpace]

his benches are going aruond the world right now on forums... hwupgradeit, hardwaredeluxx, 3dcenter.org, russian forums, computerbase.de, tweakers... hahah!

[purecain]

excellent.... (throws old hardware in trash)

oh wait i want the 2gb version...(goes to pick old hardware out of trash)

@postumus... thanks for all the effort...

you can be sure the whole community here on XS appreciates it...



btw if you get chance, i would love to know if this card can max out arma 2...

this game is extremely demanding on the gpu... (i think you need the patched version which has the additional aa settings...

thanks again my friend...

The cut-scene where they vaporize the guy stuck in the tree?

[Jamesrt2004]

well no offence but you wont be getting any cards anymore :/ NDA broken and you left the Product number on the fan etc.. so they will trace it back to you :/

[jaredpace]

thats just the fan p/n jamesrt. it's the same on every card

[fornowagain]

well no offence but you wont be getting any cards anymore :/ NDA broken and you left the Product number on the fan etc.. so they will trace it back to you :/

And you assume he is under NDA?

[TheGreenFoX]

I would like to thank postumus too... Really nice with some numbers, and i really doesnt hope he gets any trouble for it!

[Final8ty]

DMC4 Is CPU limited at that res.

[postumus]

hehe your welcome guys, this site provides many hours of entertainment, both the informative kind and the LMAO flame wars I sit back and watch.

I'll snag vantage next, some1 linked to armma 2 o an armma 2 demo, but dunno now some1 is saying i need the patched version?
