Speedway Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Looks like OC temps and peak power consumption are still an issue, at least IMO! I will keep rocking the SLIed ASUS 460's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Its less than a GTX 480 and it beats an HD 5970... And OC temps were 86 degrees on load... Edited November 9, 2010 by Krieg1337 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Its less than a GTX 480 and it beats an HD 5970... And OC temps were 86 degrees on load... Not sure what review you are seeing, but on pg 25 it clearly shows during normal and peak power usage, the HD 5970 (dual GPU and all) using less power and running cooler as shown on pg 30 by the Voltage Tuning Graph, when OCing! Yea it beats the 480, but that's not hard! Still, just too much power and heat to deal with, when you can get a 5970 and still win in almost every catagory at higher res! The 5970's have dropped so much in price now, that for less heat and power you get better performance!

cjloki Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 ...and it beats an HD 5970... it does? i read the entire review including the comparisons and that darned 5970 was definitely oftentimes the leader (as much as it pains me to say so)...

Krieg1337 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Battlefield, Metro and Crysis. The big games in that list. It only loses in Crysis. And when did I say the GTX 580 uses less power than the HD5970? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Broken NDA! Just cause you slap preliminary on it doesn't mean you didn't break the NDA. Never ceases to amaze me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenitaL Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Id just like to pop on and point something out, in 2 of the games tested, Crossfire/SLI scaling (or something in addition to that) were completely broken, and the 5970 and GTX295 somehow ended up on the bottom of the list. So the 5970's scores in those graphs of relative this to that should be taken with a pinch of salt Edit: to be honest due to this alot of those relative graphs and charts at the end are pretty much invalidated as it would have screwed off the results completely.

Guest_Jim_* Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 I'll still wait to see what the 6970 brings to the table AND for official reviews. By the way, about those "big games on the list," I know Metro 2033 and Crysis are both part of TWIMTBP and can't find for sure if BF:BC2 is or not, so I'll hold off on weighting those comparisons much. That's just me, but I think you understand my point. If they've got optimizations for nVidia cards, then how can we know it's not the optimizations instead of the cards making the difference. My HD5770 is a more powerful card than my GTS 250, yet the 250 folds better because of better support for it in the code. The 580 also beats the 5970 in HAWX too, which isn't listed as TWIMTBP, but then everything was running that at or above 60 FPS (I'm counting that 59.9 as 60) so the better performance won't be noticed (at the test settings). Let me see reviews, temps, and lengths before I buy anything (limited to 10.6in cards in my case, so any thought put to this may be pointless anyway).
