5870 CRYSIS

^ overkill for the wallet that is.

thats because you need a thousand $$$ for a gpu ( + the matrox triplehead if you wanna do multi-display) just to power an LCD that is 1200p and above. now (in 2 weeks i suppose) you have the option to run 3 for the measly price of 300$ for the gpu. cleary, marginal returns favor the ati setup.

Can you clarify a little?

The ATI 5870 die size is rumored to be around 330 mm^2 while the G300 series is rumored as being closer to 450 mm^2.

24's are dirt cheap, I paid S250 for a display model 26" Samsung.

the hole point is you don't need a matrox triplehead, some ati 5cards can run up2 6 monitors, if your in to aircraft Sims you've knocked it off, i don't know about anyone else but i cant wait for a wall full of screens for FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS, I'll have some of that

It seems it comes from this thread: http://www.semiaccurate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=696.

Yes, it is in a couple of other threads.

Some of those performance differences are over a 100% increase... That's intimidating.

If we would only know the resolution.

I've been watching AMD closely for the past 2 years. It seems they want to do what Intel did to them with Core 2 and i7 to NVIDIA with 5800.

The idea is to create great cards with the lowest (think C2D 6600 vs. AMD X2 6000) performing card coming close to the competitors highest performing card.

AMD plans to have performance of the 57XX cards slightly higher than 48XX series cards. These cards will be priced between $150-250 and will compete directly with GTX250-285.

The proposed 5770 will have numbers close to the 4890 and will sell for $200 also not forgetting requiring far less power. The 5730 will come in priced around $140 and the 5750 for $170.

Not sure what Nvidia will do when AMD releases this parts priced the way they intend. The 58XX is supposed to be untouchable by the GTX2XX single gpu cards, with the cheapest AMD 5830 card prices under 230 but giving you 40-60% better numbers than GTX285.

Not just the single GPU GTX2XX but also the 295. Some of the benchmarks out show that the 295 and the 5870 are neck in neck (some games the 5870 seems to have a huge lead in)

43 fps? that's it?!!

I blame crysis , not the card.

this is sad.

It's like asking a weight lifter to fly with his object instead of just lifting it. I'm sure we all want higher performance, but at least be realistic with the numbers.

With 4xAA and AF turned on at high res on 1 GPU? How is that disappointing, I don't think you can get that short of quad sli.


Also Crysis is really really bad on cards, not just for the looks but because it was crappy coding and optimization. We all know that.
