The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[tajoh111]

Performance per watt is what is the most impressive. OBR and Benchzoner were right on the dot, generally slower than the gtx 295 but it can catch up to the 295 with enough resolution and enough AA enabled.

Performance doesn't impress me those that much because this would lose to cf4890s, because in half the cases its losing to cf4870s. Sure it could be drivers, but since this is rv7xx on steroids, I expected good performance from the get go.

However if a gt300 does exist I can see it slaughtering the 5870, and even if it is a couple hundred dollars more, it might be worth it.
