When is 5870 coming out??

[woostar88]

Im new to this forums.

anyways, building a new computer of budget of $2000 (PC parts only)

anyways, in the newegg's shopping cart, there are every components and the total is $1550 (shipping included)

And just waiting to add the GPU... arggg this is killing me here.

either to go with Dual 4890 xfire or single GTX 295 or single 5870....

a single 5870 beats pretty much everything currently in existence, i think the due date is sept 23rd

 

[brandonvi]

22nd i read in the US

 

[imrul]

lol yup...

 

[nforce4max]

Can't wait need new card since my 7900 wont work.

 

[vgdarkstar]

Wow, I really hope these are real, and accurate, amazing.

 

[nforce4max]

They seam very genuine to me and cant wait to upgrade from my 9800gt while swapping out my 7900 gtx duo that didn't work hell that thing was huge its even longer than my 8800gtx (12 1/4 inch or 31cm). 9800gt for most games 8800gtx fro crysis.

Looks relistic but where does the benchies come from ?

There are 5850 and 5870 in the wild, some lucky guys already are posting those benchies, cards pictures, temperature and noise levels (for example at 100% load, 30% fan speed is enough to keep 75C). As much as all it looks legit, lets wait one more week till reputable sites reviews.

 

[megamanx00]

OMFG. I guess we'll see if those benches are accurate pretty soon. I plan to get the 5850 when it goes below $200. I better upgrade my CPU first though ^_^.

you guys seen the pics of the 5870, looks like a beast

Now that looks sexy....

Except GTX295

As you can see the GTX295 beats the 5870 in 11 out of 14 games (in 1920x1200) in the above benchmark.

YES, Welcome to LAST WEEK !! [:thegreatgrapeape:6]

And as you can see, crank it beyond 19x12 and the GTX295 loses, and Crashes even. So that doesn't put the GTX295 above the HD5870, it just says that at lower settings it is able to pull out a lead (while both are playable), but the HD5870 still has higher ma playable settings, therefore wins.

If a GF8600 beats and HD4870x2 and GTX295 @ 640x480 because the other two cards have higher multi-GPU CPU overhead, a situation where all are playable just one is getting 200fps and the others 180, that doesn't make the GF8600 a better/faster card overall, just in that specific case it's putting out more fps because the others are bottlenecked.

^ thank you

Exactly, if leaked benches are accurate, 5870 is about ~20% faster than GTX295. Its pretty impressive how little hit they take with 4-8AA.

That is with the current drives thow they already said that the latest drivers added like 25-30% to some of the high end preformance stuff so 3-4 months from now this will beat the GTX 295 in all ways and on top of that its already VERY close to beating it and is only $499 or that is what i have seen they saying anyway

not to mention that its only 1 processer where the GTX 295 has 2 so it will work in older games that dont use SLI and crossfire

Who cares how the performane is at 2560 resolution? do you know many people that game on such high resolution? 1920 and 1680 is all that matters and the gtx 295 remains the top card in these brackets

 

[brandonvi]

for now that will change more then likly with a new set of drivers in a few months

 

[successful_troll]

5870 - 299
295 - 499

It's not on top of ***

top card is determined by performance not by what poor people can afford. its $399 for the 5870 btw.

 

[brandonvi]

really thats nice i thought it was 499 where i read that means my new computer just lost 100 in price

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

Probably the same people who are able to afford these cards at launch, that also likely swapped to 30" panels shortly after THOSE came out too. 1920x1200 is sooo 2002!

1920 and 1680 is all that matters

To people who would never bother paying for a GTX295, especially if they scrimped and saved to buy a GTX280/260/275 in the first place.

and the gtx 295 remains the top card in these brackets

In one test, and against a card with pre-release drivers, that won't last very long.
And as already mentioned, why pay more for a GTX295 that is only fractionally better at lower resolution, but can't match at tougher settings, and has none of the additional features of the HD5K series, and has little over the GF8800GTX, a card that's 3 years old.

Depends on what you're looking at doesn't it?
If you're looking for the top value card, price matter, top performing card, performance matters, top multi-montior card depends on how many and how well it supports multyi-monitor, top media card (like for HTPC) depends on how it supports media features, top spec/feature card then features support matter, top card overall is really determined by whether or not it has a Matrox Logo on it, without a Matrox Logo it cannot be top card. PERIOD !!!!

Now back to the bridge with you !!

I care about 2560, I play at 2560 I like to turn AAx8 also. I'm sure there are others out there who appreciate the boost in performance at that resolution. Just because you game on your 22", doesn't mean that we have to.
