I'm more impressed by the fact it was playing Crysis at Very High DX10, given how badly coded DX10 is on Crysis and the fact it murders current cards the 30 FPS is an impressive feat especially when considering 4x AA has been enabled which is another killer. I would also expect to see a few more FPS when paired with a faster CPU.
 

Gainward GTX 285 2048MB + q9550 2,83 GHz @ 3,83 GHz = 30 - 50 FPS !!!!
 


Yea what is going to happen today? Today was suppose to be the day we get solid information. I am getting sick of these rumors. I want some solid info from amd themselves. I was hoping for official specs, prices, models, pictures and especially benchmarks. Or was this whole Sept 10th thing a false rumor? 🙁
 

20-30 FPS, at that high rez I dont need AA ... but thanx
 
Lovely monster card. Unfortunately, I've just paid $160 for an XFX 4870 1GB. $399 is too damn much for me right now, but I'm sure it gotta be my next card. Perhaps prices will drop by Q2 2010?
 
I've seen September 22th as the american launch and 23th as the european one. Today AMD and Nvidia should hold some public demonstration of something, but I doubt there will be any official numbers.
 

Better tell W1zzard how to benchmark then

These cards should probably have some stupid high clocked GDDR5, perhaps even an increased bus, so, I suppose they can easily bottleneck a Lynnfield-based setup in a simple Crossfire configuration - just as anything below 2 16x PCIe 2.0 lanes.

We finally figured out out the final specification of the chip that we called RV870 and the fact that AMD plans to call it Radeon HD 5870 doesn’t come as a big surprise. The chip works at 825MHz and has 1600 shaders, two times more than RV770 which indicates that the chip is two times faster than the year old RV770.

The chip has as many as 2.1 billion transistors and is more than twice the number the RV770 packs, which has 956 million transistors. The card uses GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.3GHz (5.2GHz in quad mode) and can provide more than 150GB/second bandwidth. The power of this card stays at 180W while in idle the power drops down to 27W, three times less than the 90W on 4870.

It looks good. Then we still might have a 5890 and surely a 5870X2. Let's hope Nvidia have something more than rebranded cards in order to bring prices down. I hold no big hopes for them, though.
 

OK, its not exactly DX11, but HEYYYY
