IVIYTH0S Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 How is it an ethical choice? That's just taking things off the deep end of lunacy. while I share alot of the same opinions as OCfreak, I must say that I'd rather have a 5870 right now....then again if lucid was out, ta ta 5870 lol. (though I'd still be happy with my 4870x2 <3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 rofl 5xxx's are all a waste of money at this point...said it before, will say it again. x2 4890 is like...the max that you would need for the next...3-4 years....keep in mind the oc so it's pretty good for the price. Unless you wanna be cool and say that u can fit 3 5870's in ur case(gl with that) go ahead...not going to make your games run better though. It's a simple and ethical choice. if you already have a 5XXX card keep it that way for a while. There is absolutely nothing in the world that would require more than that now. I have a 4870X2 and could easily use more power than even a 5870 can provide. Since I can and you can't...does that mean I'm just wrong? I also fail to see where ethics plays a part in this at all.

Will I need more graphics power in 3-4 years? You may not be old enough to remember this(or drive or buy your own beer) but there was a time when experts agreed that all the RAM you would ever need was 8MB. That prediction failed.

krazypoloc Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Reasons I would personally want to upgrade to a 5870/5970 from my current 4870.. Double the performance if not more Massive power savings DTS-HDMA and DD-TrueHD audio processing Edited October 18, 2009 by krazypoloc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double the performance if not more No. Its not double the performance, its more like 1.5 times the performance. But still a good upgrade, even from an HD4890 it would be a good upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownuser200 Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 so you dont think a 5970 (5870x2) is twice as fast as 4870 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 so you dont think a 5970 (5870x2) is twice as fast as 4870 I did not see it double my 3D scores. Just like going from single to crossfire does not double either... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
