Reviews are all over the net for the 5870 now with 2 in Crossfire. I don't think there's any game it can't handle by far. The 5850 isn't available to review yet.

The Smith Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) ok , may i ask why the Q9550 would have higher chances of bottlenecking than the Phenom II X4 955...? Because the Phenom II X4 955 is simply more powerful overall, cache and frequency considered... Look at reviews around the web, you'll see. The Q9550 gets absolutely pwned by the X4 955. Edit: i am trying to find review ... all i got is hawx and this game loves red ... How can you miss them, they are all over the web... Just look at OCC's home page and you have like half a dozen of links to reviews... Edited September 23, 2009 by The Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 ok , ok , ok is it better in cf/sli ....? ...really? If it's slower in single-GPU tests it's certainly going to be slower in multi-GPU tests since they are more CPU-bound. It seems like you ask a lot of questions without thinking about them first.

It seems like you ask a lot of questions without thinking about them first. if you go back few pages i posted a link with a review single/multiple gpu performance with different platforms 775/1156/1366 (AM3) AM3 got beaten by 775 in multiple gpu performance ..... i do think about what i am writing ..

The difference between a 955 and a 965 is minimal. You're making mountains out of molehills. You won't find any reviews of the 5850 yet only speculation and rumors. It hasn't been released yet. Though the rumored price of $259 and performance similar to a GTX285 is interesting. You'll have to wait for it like the rest of us.
