ISOHaven, I know you have quite the PC gaming rig, so this one might interest you, that is if you don't already know about it hahaha. The same goes for all you guys with a wicked PC gaming rig, check this out. It's the ATI Radeon HD 5970, and it's now the fastest graphics card available.

Techies, including the ones at Tom's Hardware, have put the new graphics card to the test and they found that the ATI Radeon HD 5970 outstrips the previous champ, the Nvidia GeForce GTX-295, in all resolutions, including 1680c1050 and 1920x1200.

Amazon has this monster at a whopping US$ 649.99, but is out of stock as of writing.

And here I thought shelling out $400 dollars was a steep drop for my 5870! ATi is really bringing the pain by the sounds of things, with their single GPU solutions outperforming Nvidia's current dual GPU solutions



At first I thought I should wait it out for the 5970, but not if the price point is that high. I'll wait it out for for some prices to drop and just enjoy my 5870 for now :3



Now don't get me wrong, I've heard some good things about Nvidia's up and coming GT300 GPU, but I've also heard some nasty things, mostly particular to its low hotbatch yields on the first dies. It was around 7% of the batch that came back "functional" to spec, which is downright pathetic... Of course it could also be a rumor, given the fact that the info I found was on the internet (even though from multiple sources). So who knows.



Overall, AMD's decision to buy ATi was a steep one (one that almost proved fatal too), but its good to see that they are making ATi a competitive product company once more.

Hmm, just noticed that the 5970 is a Dual GPU solution. That was an error on my part.



Still, its quite impressive.

# kind of sad...zzk2001 2009-11-19 12:09
It's kind of sad that Crysis is still getting that low of a FPs on such a good PC,

I am going to say that Crysis has the worse engine of all time lol,

to prove my point COD:WM2 looks better and runs at higher FPs on the same PC =)

It isn't that the engine is crap. Its that they built a engine which was too advanced for current day technology.



MW2 is weak, graphically wise. The lighting is quite basic but its just used in complex ways so it looks exciting and the shadows still go boxy. I can max out MW2 on my PC. But I have to play Crysis on Gamer or Mainstream.



But hand on heart, when maxing out your PC on Crysis and looking at the screen moving slowly. My mouth would still water when I see the visuals of Crysis. Even though its doing 5FPS.

# LOL I bet the 5970 is fasteravatar76 2009-11-19 17:20
at baking the GPU's right off the board.

I've had no end to problems with high end ATI cards starting from the 9800pro and it went on from there. The Nvidia chips on the other hand seem to last much longer.

Though I don't mean to sound like an ATI/AMD fanboy... the new 5000 series is the best line of cards on the market right now. They are energy efficient, generally quiet under everything except synthetic stress-testing load...



And for you, have decreased temps. The 5970, when compared to the closest NVidia card (the 295), is 5-8 Celsius cooler. Which equates to a nice, longer, happier life for your card.



This info came from HardOCP, where you can read their full review of the card. My 8800GT is looking even older now.

wow thats pathetic they are going to get owned by the 300

there is a big reason why , the previous 5870 was OUTPREFORMED by the 4870 SLI witch is not supposed to happen

simply put it the previous generation card for example a 1000 is supposed to be outpreformed by a 2000 even though the 1000 is sli by 2 witch means that the 2000 is supposed to have doubble the power but ati fails BADLY



im not an nvidia fanboy or an ati fanboy i just look at statistics and see that the cards by ati are loosing to nvidia but too bad nvidia is going bankrupt :(
