    Asus' Matrix is clocked at 894MHz/4800MHz
    Why did Asus leave the memory at stock speed?

    not too sure, i thought the clocks were meant to be 900/4900? perhaps the mem bus on cypress can't handle anything faster?

    excuse me, didn't see that. it's interesting to look at the far cry test in that review, even with heavy AA the matrix still takes a huge performance hit, to the point where it performs below the gtx470. i was expecting the extra vram to help cypress with AA.

    Do those numbers look a little wierd to anyone else? I don't recall seeing the GTX470 and GTX480 being owned in BC2 in any other reviews.

    In the Anandtech review Fermi's perform below Cypresses in BC2 as well, although Anand has sweetened the situation by talking about the minimum framerates in which Fermi "tramples" Cypress.
    Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    See low FPS of Asus matrix 5870 2gb, Sapphire 5870 Toxic 2GB will decrease the difference between it and gtx 480 the Metro 2033 tessellation score is interesting 3fps difference






    Coming Soon

    When will the card get reviewed? I want to see how well it performs. Hmm, looks like the tech report article reviewing it.

    has anyone properly done a test of 1GB vs 2GB 5870s on a modded crysis with texture packs included?

    its about future proofing, the idea that my 1GB card will last forever means we hit a very nice brick wall in technology, which i pray is not the case. i dont plan to spend 400-500$ on a card i will only keep for 1 year. but if an extra 50$ of memory makes it last 3 years, thats a pretty good upgrade. and can you imagine how much memory will be standard in 2012, or how games will be able to utilize it?

    +this current games don't push it i agree but special mods do and there are plenty of themh

    Stock clocks dont really matter on Asus cards as overclocking is covered by the warranty anyway, and they offer voltage tweak and unlocked OC limits, whereas other brands dont (except MSI).

    i love how everyone is blabbering that 480 has awesome dx11 power unfortunantly in real games its nearly on par with 5870

    Many of the DX11 titles currently available were developed using ATi hardware and capabilities since nVidia was just a little late to the party. In upcoming games you'll be sure to see much higher levels of tessellation available in game settings which Fermi cards can utilize to greatly enhance image quality while keeping playable frame rates.

    Yes... I know it's not a game, but nobody can deny how powerful Fermi is when it comes to levels of tessellation much higher than currently used in retail games.




    As a current owner of a GTX285 and former owner of HD4870, I'm definitely going to wait for both companies to refresh their current cards. nV definitely needs to work out its heat and power issues through a refinement of TSMC's process... and I'm sure a more mature .40nm process would be of benefit to ATi and allow for less heat and higher clocks.
