roflol gotta wonder how many hits did they get in that small time frameAT is dead
Did the sites get it this bad when the 5870 was launched?
LOFL what an embarrassment. This is FX5800 all over.
Not to an enthusiast though. Hell, you can run a 5870 at 1GHz with less noise and power consumption than a GTX480, then benchmark the cards and see where they stand.Wow. Can't say I disagree with you. Well said. While the GTX480 may be hotter and less efficient, it still runs games (except crysis) faster than the HD5870. So overall I consider it single GPU king, even in lieu of Nvida's ill tactics.

That's kind of a pleonasm. :sneaky:Except this time it is the fastest single GPU.
You care about MPG in NASCAR?
If powerconsumption, not performance, is your thing...go mid/lowrange....and quit whining
Faster is faster....get over it

This is what Keys said he couldn't stop smiling about, eh? A card with a bit more performance six months late that runs games at 92C and consumes almost twice the power? Fail. I can't see ATI really beating Fermi with a new single GPU SKU, but I can see one that ties Fermi with a lot lower power consumption. On the other hand, HD 5970 consumes less power, has a fair bit more performance, and might even cost less to make, so maybe they'll price drop it (at current prices it loses to Fermi for bang for the buck) and put on the squeeze that way.
This feels like R600 all over again if that card's AA performance wasn't broken and ATI decided to get the performance crown no matter how much cooling and how many watts the broken thing put off.
ATI has just plain out engineered NVIDIA, like NVIDIA outengineered them in G80 vs. R600 but to a slightly lesser extent. Hopefully, like R600, Fermi will lay the groundwork for a new line of revolutionary GPUs despite the fact that the original kind of sucks.
Hate to say it, but it looks like Charlie was spot on for once (his 5% faster claim being from 512SP 600MHz parts, this is exactly where one would expect a 480SP 700MHz part to be). I think that makes it 2 Charlie (bump gate, albeit exaggerated, and Fermi) 1 Nvidia (G80).
Negative Hurley Birdey. ATI severly UNDER engineered NVIDIA, the latter of which can now compete in a much wider market segments. May not mean much to you, but it might mean quite a bit to a harvard professor and gamer alike. And, I said I'd be smiling over the next few weeks. Dont' you find the performance of both the GTX470 and 480 very nice? Something aint Kosher if you don't, because this will drive ATI prices down. 5850 and 5870 alike.

10% more performance for $100 more with a card that is an oven and sounds like a vacuum is not driving the 5870's price down anytime soon.
You might see the 5970 start selling for $599 though, in which case, might as well spend $100 more for 180% the performance of the 480.
Lame duck, and late to dinner.

I tried that in the past but I got some negative feedback. Apparently some people like many different threads, each with a small piece of the puzzle. So this time around I'll let things slide, but I'll still lock obvious duplicates.Come on mods lets have a sticky for one thread about this new release.
If you guys really want a single thread, PM me. If I get enough requests then I'll do it.
I don't understand your question; what are you asking exactly?and how much time did you spend fixing the soup you made of Batman Physx threads?
