I'm thinking about waiting for the 2GB versions to come out, and the get two for CF

Hahaha i want to upgrade as well but got no cash left. Hopefully my 2 gtx260 will hold till 2011.

Reply to invisik

Faster than a GTX295 and only uses 28w at idle. WOW.

The X2 is gonna be a friggin beast! Poor Nvidia.

Reply to zipzoomflyhigh

Nice, nice. The 5870X2 will destroy all. But who knows, Nvidia might bust some crazy stuff out.

Reply to bige420

Every new gen battle between ati and nvidia is interesting. Both companies showing what they can do early when they actually have something new and exciting.

This time Ati is showing nvidia that their low high end card, 5870, can compete and in some cases beat their highest end card.
(This is an assumtion as the cards are not out and benched by non biased people....)

Nvidia will not take that laying down, but it will most likely take them a few months to produce a 5780x2 killer.

Reply to soundefx

Nvidia doesn't really have history on their side. How much faster than the 9800gx2 was the gtx280? Was it faster at all really?

You are correct about the X2 zipzoom. It will be the fastest card you can buy until TSMC's 28nm node is perfected, which will probably happen in about 1 years time.

There is no way, at all, that the g300 can be faster than the 5870 x2. Not a chance can any single gpu be close to this. Nvidia can only take the performance crown back with their own X2 and that just won't be happening with the g300 at 40nm.

Nvidia might even be worried that the g300 isn't as good as the single 5870. That is more likely, ridiculous as it sounds.

As I said in another thread, the 5870 is actually making nvidia develop new tech rather then super charging their old one and selling it as 'new'.

Best answer

Ok wait a minute, there's a 'Best Answer' to this thread?

BTW, already posted in the other big hd5870 & 5850 thread, plus the architecture.

But overall, looking good, just need me the mobile version sooooooner rather than later on a nice mobile Quad Core solution, is that too much to ask !?! :??:

Will be upgrading from my 4870 1gb to a 5870 the same weekend it comes out! Looking foward to seeing the difference in games!

Hope you're buying another 2 screens as well Soldier. There isn't going to be any noticable increase in gaming from current tech to 5xxx series on single monitors.

Well there could be, especially i some games, and future games, but if that one monitor is a 30" 25x16 monitor, there's a bunch of games that will see a difference immediately.

Big thing is to make sure it's worth it for the game you play, because it's not going to do much for the SIMs. :whistle:

I sorta discounted 30" screens because so few own them, and by the looks of it very few ever will.

Sure a 5870 is going to be better, just about in every department vs any current gen card. Obviously when dx11 takes off the difference will be pretty clear even on single screens, but the real difference is gonna be over 3 screens.

I'm sorta 'low high end' when it comes to buying tech, which means I'm well above the average person but well below those spending silly money. I will have 3 screens on each of my two pc's within 1 year, that's a guarantee.

I'm not sure the type of games you play really make that much difference. I play MMO's and WoW runs pretty flawlessly on 1 midrange system, but after seeing it on 6 screens and thinking 'hey i can just about afford that and i sure as hell want it', I think a lot of people will be coming to the same conclusion.

It's not about need, it's about want.

Perhaps it's time Nvidia made the 9800 GX4 Tri SLI that thing! w00!

Nah, no wishes, I just found it funny that the thread had a 'Best Answer' option.

It's all good, as long as there aren't too many, and it'll probably make it easier for some to see.

dont you guys wanna wait for the non reference versions, these things will have two billion transistors, twice the shaders of the previous generation with a decrease of only 15nm, non ref coolers or nuthin baby

Well, we have no idea what the reference cooler will be like to begin with, it might surprise us.

Additionally, there have been rumblings I've heard from some sapphire techs that the vapor-X cooler may start to show up on cards at, or very near, release. We will have to wait and see. Of course you can always add your own cooling solution. Mind you, i currently use the stock buggers and can't really whine about em too much.

Reply to daedalus685

I'm wait for either 1) a Atomic edition 2) Vapor-X or 3) a waterblock. Then I will buy one.

Seriously though, the x2 version and 5890 will be awesome! Can't wait for benches for those.

an advantage of the x2 version is that if you live in a cold climate, u dont need a room heater

I'll be looking at the 5850, anyone got benches?

Xaira, I think its time AMD started looking into external power supplies just for the video card. It makes sense so that the consumer doesnt have to buy a new system power supply and also to keep some of the heat out of the case.
I'm sure Nvidia if they want to make anything even close to this performance wise will have no choice but to look to external psu's.

OK some more pics, even with a different colour PCB,and with some having the NewEgg logos on them which is as real as it gets in case any of you thought they were photo-chopped;

Sweet Looking Card, interesting power solution, just a bit big and bulky !!

Reminds me of this old solution Tom's came up with for externals;

i like the idea of an external power connector, that way well hear less exorbitant psu ratings

so i can keep my 600w and have 3x 5890s , yyyayyy

Exactly. Imagine how many less return there would be from idiots that dont check to see if their power supply is enough before purchasing a card. Like Dell users and such.
