[Matte979]

The site they come from is awesome.

http://gathering.tweakers.net/...st_messages/1368223/10

They also have a 5850 vs 285 comparision. And Crossfire vs SLI.

I am getting this card.

Please god. let the stock cooler be dead silent at idle and I might get back to PC gaming Those numbers are :shocked: It's like a GTX295 LOL! A bit slower here, a bit faster there... And only Stalker tanks... on both cards though

EDIT: And with the Crossfire results we can finally say: Yes, it does play Crysis maxed Unless those are High, not Very High results...

5850 is $299? Not cool. I was hoping for a $199 card on the low end ><. Guess I'll wait for a sweet rebate deal.

 

[Dkcode]

The 5870 X2 is going to be a fucking monster.

I want!

Agreed! $299 is not a $200 card.

At least these are not like nvidia's launch prices. I'm comfortable waiting until these go down to $200

If those benchmarks are legit, it looks like it's going to kick some ass.

I was actually agreeing with you. I'm not wedded to either company, and am waiting for actual benchmarks that aren't marketing slides to make my upcoming purchase.

pretty sure he was responding to nemesis there, but I can see why you might have thought it was a response to you given the post order in the thread.

This is right. Sorry scooter, I should have quoted who the post was directed to.

5850 is NOT a low-end card...a 5770/5750 will probably be lower-end...and even then the 4870 will probably be the new low end until they make a 40nm version of something similar.

Is there a better possible way to get traffic to your site than to be the first to "leak" unverifiable numbers for a product still under NDA?

 

[MarcVenice]

To be honest, I wouldn't know, I haven't been monitoring traffic. But it still is funny. AMD won't be pleased, at all. Not only did the first pictures end up on our forum, pretty much the first real performance numbers also popped up there. Same guy posting the pics and the performance numbers btw. Personaly btw, I wouldn't put to much stock into these numbers. Personaly, the NDA breaking pisses me of, because by the time I get to publish my own numbers, everybody allready knows everything there is to know...

So your quick to say The rest od AT forums agrees with your stance on this subject . But when it comes from NV marketing types its gosple. Thats how I read It . If thats incorrect point out were my error is .

Keys you want to Crap allover ATI all the time but NV does perfection / LOL.

No keys the rest of ATs forums do not concur.

Why hold a business entity accountable for the actions of people who are unaffiliated with the business entity?

There's some atypical cause-and-effect assignment going on there.

AEG was is real . Who to blame . I riddle u that.

Agreed! $299 is not a $200 card.

IIRC every previous ATI cards debuted below MSRP. It won't be $200 but probably $260...

Heres better graph maybe. You want to call this guy a lier. I wouldn't if I were you.

 

[Keysplayr]

Oh, I think its pretty safe to say that if there aren't any numbers, the graph doesn't mean a whole lot. So yoù tell the rest of us here. What percentage of that green Nvidia bar are we looking at? 100%? 50%? 5%? You said they were right on the money. I think your talking out of your bottom end. If you know what the graph represents, then share it. But I don't believe you have a clue. Now on the other hand, those 3 links posted look very nice. Seems like the 5series will be formidable.

In those charts they have some Wolfenstein with and without AA enabled, AFAIK, the game doesn't support AA in any way. Fake?

 

[imported_Shaq]

Only difference is at 2560 and/or 8XAA. I don't think most of us have 30" monitors. It would be good to see some 3 monitor resolutions (5040x3150) as that would show a good difference based on the 2560 numbers. Even still only 2% of gamers will need the power as 260 SLI on up is good for a 24" monitor. Does ATI allow supersampling like Nhancer does for Nvidia? That is where we are right now with GPU power. Unless you play in 3D, use supersampling, need PhysX, or 3 or more monitors you don't need more than what we have right now. Don't think I'm complaining though. lol

so you compensate for this by your evangelist fervor? do you suppose that makes people want to agree with you? do you propose to divinate the meaning of bar graphs with no numbers on them? i'm sure AMD is very grateful to you. everyone would buy nvidia products if it weren't for people like you.

how can you not trust that!!! according to that graph, 5870 will be 7x faster than gtx 285 in prey!! I can really go fast now on my 1366x768 lcd now!!! If we're lucky it will even run crysis with 4x/16x on very high at 30fps...on 1024x768.

BUT THE BENCHES THEY'RE REAL. BEST BENCHES OF ALL TIME. ALL TIME.

Fixed.

You want benches. Here they are.

:laugh:

that would be funny if hector still worked for amd. maybe GF will pay him $20 million to go work for tsmc for a while and screw THEM up.
