STICKY: ATi 5xxx pre-release thread

[PottedMeat]

Holy shit 1/3 of the board is dedicated to power regulation. Plus a custom multiphase inductor. With a shitload of decoupling caps, if there was space they put in a cap.

This is going to be one nice video card. I just hope that cooler doesn't sound like a jet engine...

 

[wrangler]

Man o man o man.

If they have really truly upped the AF and it's not all BS then I will be such a happy camper. It is the one thing I noticed between my 260 and 4890 with the latter having much more shimmer and crawl.

Here's hoping.

they're ok when he is made to look the fool. Another fine example of making fun of nazis is in The Producers. I highly recommend that play/movie to anyone with a sense of humor.

I've seen a few of these already, but this one was great. PissX LOL.

AMD signed with Pixelux.

If you are tired of hearing how nVidia has been pushing Cuda support into everything then I have some good news for you. The guys over at AMD have penned a deal with Pixelux. The guys are the one that developed the Digital Molecular Matter engine they have (and still are) a key part of the way Lucas Film and Lucas Arts create effects.

So what does this have to do with AMD? Well you see AMD in their usual fashion has been pushing an open platform; this is OpenCL (Cuda is also OpenCL just nVidia?s version). Well Pixelux is now going to work with AMD to develop OpenCL acceleration for their DMM engine.

Actually the source is BSN and Bullet one.

 

[MODEL3]

From BSN:

The announcement between Pixelux and AMD can be credited to Mr. Dave Hoff, Director of Application Engineering over at AMD. The tie-up between AMD and Pixelux Entertainment fits perfectly in Cinema 2.0 movement [which by some reason, AMD did not mention during their Evergreen family briefings - in our opinion, BIG mistake]

So what is bullet? Another physics API or just a set of libraries to be used in conjunction with Havok? I'm guessing the latter but i might be wrong.

Bullet sounds impressive, gotta love that it's open source

Could be they know something BSN doesn't and that something is giving them cause for concern in terms of confidence of things working out long-term so they don't want to put too much public spotlight on it just yet until they have more confidence nothing is going to fall thru. (as the publicity of it falling thru will then be all the more for the media to make hay over)

Sorry IDC, what do you mean?

The comment in bold is not mine.
BSN said that:"which by some reason, AMD did not mention during their Evergreen family briefings - in our opinion, BIG mistake."

From around the web you can gather info about what ATI showed in the event.
I just had a link with a photo from the event, that AMD presented and had slides for the Pixelux/Bullet/Havok deals.

AMD probably doesn't want just yet to put too much public spotlight on it but they showed it to the press at the event.

Yeah I was just commenting on BSN's comment...I was suggesting that while they (BSN) might view AMD to be in error for not heaping even more publicity on the budding Pixelux relationship, there could be A fairly benign but straightforward reason as to why AMD intentionally avoided doing so at that time.

Reasons that BSN might not be privy too or had not considered when they crafted that statement in their article.

I was just thinking out loud about the BSN quote, its probably immaterial.

Oh. i see.

The thing is that with the way BSN wrote it (AMD did not mention during their Evergreen family briefings) i was wondering if BSN was at the event or not.

OMG! Hilarious!

Maybe amd didn't mention it, because unlike nvidia they think most people will buy a graphics card for in game graphics? Most of us don't make movies. I am sure they have pushed it big time to the game developers and whatever.

 

[Th3Loonatic]

If I'm not mistaken, some one in Malaysia says that HD5870 stocks are already in the city and is ready to be delivered. Pricing is believed to be RM15XX (conversion rate is roughly USD 1=RM3.5). Stock ready to be delivered by Wednesday. link http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1167486

BSN reports 5750 and 5770 are supposed to be out at W7 launch time.

Radeon 5750 and 5770 are scheduled for launch around the official launch date of Windows 7 [give or take around October 22nd-23rd, depending on what continent you live on]. The prices are set at just 149 US Dollars for 5750, with 5870 being priced at 199.

 

[crazylegs]

Really can't wait for 5750, 5770, 5850 and 5870 to launch.

Have been holding off upgrading till this next refresh. Am always very concious of price / performance (been fighing the urge to get a 4890 for a while...) so i guess the 5770 or 5850 will be the 'sweetspot' for myself and undoubtedly many others

While the Radeon HD 5870 maintains a long PCB, the HD 5850 is about as long as a Radeon HD 4870 (reference design)

Really small heat outlet with all those video connectors. I wonder if all the heat can get out if the fan is on at high speed. If not it will just dump the excess in the case.
