Bosco Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Sorry its more in depth we got the card very late and we just couldn't include everything. ccokeman will be adding the overclocked scores over the next day or two. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_hd5870/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenitaL Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 oh wow, i mean i knew ATI said they had bumped their single gpu performance up to that of a dual but.. damn they actually did it! Sweet review ccokeman, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchrissypoox Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Suggestion: adding a physx card and adding those results onto related games as well, I assume a fairly large number of people have something doing physx now if they are using ati for graphics Edit: thanks for the review Edited September 23, 2009 by xchrissypoox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 It looks like ATI kicked it up a notch. Great job on the review with he restricted time frame ccokeman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smith Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 That's odd how the HD5870 is ahead of the HD4870X2 in many tests at low resolutions, and then loses at the higher ones. I was definitely expecting it to beat the 4870X2 since it has basically the same number of stream processors but in one package without the need for CrossfireX. Would only 1GB be a bottleneck for such a powerful GPU? Look at FarCry 2, Crysis which it gets on par at 2560x1600, Call of Duty 5, Resident Evil 5 where it gets beaten in all resolutions, and Left 4 Dead. I think the 2GB version might be worth it when it gets available. It could also help it get even closer to the GTX295... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my resolution 1920x1200 it's not enough of an increase to give up 375 bucks. Though if i didn't have my 285 already i would buy it. Superb review btw!!

Baulten Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I might have to buy one if I don't win one... and keep my GTX 260 for PhysX! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Hmmm...guess I'll be keeping my 4870X2 for a while longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E.A Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Hmmm...guess I'll be keeping my 4870X2 for a while longer. i think no one should buy a new if the performance he gets is good nvidia`s move is smarter though , they will release the cards when dx 11 games are getting out ...
