Hey Guys, is it worth getting these cards or is it wise to wait for Nvidia's Answer? I would luv to by either 5850 or 5870 to upgrade my current 8800GT. I am a Huge nvidia fan, but lately they have been saying and doing a lot of crazy things, most curreny "Direct X 11 Doesn't Matter" what the heck is this nvidia? I want 2-3 years Proof Card. Your Guys Thoughts?
OS - Win 7 (U guys can see the rest of my Hardware on my Signature)
Gaming - I game more lately on my PC. Currently I have 22" Samsung LCD but I plan to get 42" Samsung LED or LCD TV (My Christman Present).

Techpowerup, is one very crappy internet site. Their reviews don't cost a penny, just take a look at the frame rates of the other GPU's.
3870х2 review Е6550
9800 GTX review Е8400 @ 3,6
If you anyone could explain what is going on with those reviews, and with all reviews from TPU, I'm listening.
If you want some serious tests go to Techreport.

I'm with you on that
Scheduler has changed + there are some shader instructions optimized for performance like DOT product which now takes 1 cycle instead of 12-14 on RV770. There are new cache structures (bigger, faster, new types), improved data precisions and more to take into account of future driver improvements.
Besides analysing performance between cards we tend to forget that Cypress is outputting better quality pictures thanks to improved AF ....
Anyway my Sapphire HD5870 with Dirt2 coupon should be in my PC by tomorrow

Cache increase is due to ALU increase.I'm with you on that

There was a slide showing ~10% IPC increase with the ALUs.
Interpolation is being done on the shaders now.
The better AF algorithms come at a supposed no performance impact.

If I may ask, would you care to elaborate? Maybe I am blind but I dont see any issue there...
I wouldn't be surprised if the 5850 reviews shows up a week after the 5870, just like the availability.
It makes sense not to release them on the same day, this will give ATi more attention over a longer time.
The 5850 is very tempting at €200!
Anyone price conscious should wait for nVidia tho, if they have anything to deliver then it will lower ATI's prices, but until then the prices for the 5000's will be high. I don't really think it's too high tho.
@SKYMTL Take a closer look at the exact framebrate, because I can see a difference up to 100 fps, for the same VGA at the same resolution. Or maybe E8400 is so much slower than E6750, that it makes the fps drop by 2/3.

changed settings maybe ? and yes, our reviews really dont cost a penny to view. so look for free, build your own opinion. or if you dont like it at all, click the x - still free!
Well for one thing the system with the e8400 is overclocked to 3.6 ghz while the e6550 is running at only 2.33 ghz, which makes a big difference. The system with the e8400 also has newer drivers which can make a difference as well.
With change in test-beds, we changed IQ settings as well. Since all cards are rebenched on a new test-bed, it becomes irrelevant how results across the board compare to those on the older test-bed.

right i would wait just for the pure fact prices will drop massivley the moment gt300 hit... also so 42" tv is only 1920x1080 so 5850 would be fine but a single 5870 (2gb if you can afford) will churn up whatever you throw at it!!
btw samsungs led tv's are just led lit etc.. not actually OLED (there like 4//5k atm..) unless you REALLY loved to get a x-mas pressie like that

TPU has some of the best charts ive seen, its great seeing how good a card is overall for various framerates. you can really notice how the 5870 takes serious leads at 2560x1600. and its also one of the few reviews with OCing actually done. (though i wish you guys pushed it to max volts/temps until you were done rap3ing the card)
going through the 20 different sites and reading hundreds of pages takes forever, which is why i like to read anand and TPU since they have a standards that ive grown to expect (crap did i just call myself a TPU fanboy?!)
Techpowerup is a great site, I don't know what you are talking about.

no software available yet that can do this reliably, but i'm working on it
So when can we expect the dual GPU version of this?
i concur!

Personally I'd like a 5850x2 I like having a lot of power that will last me a couple years. I don't have 6 monitors or need rex any higher than 1680x1024. Any word on a 5850x2?

I like TPU but there is something wrong with this review. Don´t know about the results of the HD5870 but when I look the numbers of other cards like the HD4830 and HD4850 being just exactly the same in all tests I have to say that can´t be ok.

Thermaltake Soprano
24" 1920x1080 BenQ G2410HD
MAXTOR 500GB 32MB x2
BenQ DW1650 16x Dvd burner
so, say I have a 4870 1gb and a 4870x2 together in trifire with a FC block on the x2 and a mcw60 on the 4870... Would it be worth it to switch to 5870CF and could I keep my mcw60 or should I get different blocks or just not switch? (for gaming at 2560x1600 on a q9650@4.2ghz).
