Hmm not 25% Computerbase.de did a dx10.1 review, only one game where dx10.1 helped ATi take the lead.

My 5870 reviews conclusion: a 3-week old 4890 Cyclone edition stable @ 950/1150 is for sale anyone!!!
my got to get a 5870!!
performance aside, i need to decrease the "power consumption".. BEAUTIFUL!!

Yeah there was a definate missunderstanding back when that was trown around.Originally posted by razor1
In certain cases you could save performance, as with Assassins creed where they didnt need to redraw the z buffer, for other post processes, when using MSAA.
And that could save you some performance.
It was never an automatic 25% more performance across the board with DX10 vs DX10.1, but in the right scenario you could prolly reach that improvement by not needing to render all those extra passes.you jump out of that plane and that parachute doesnt open, the helmet is now wearing YOU for protection. -JSComment

direct x is an open standard?Originally posted by SkynetSoon PhysX will be added to this list.
What has better? The performance/power ratio is incredible actually.
I thought it is microsoft's.
regardless, AMD need to keep an eye to Tim Sweeney's non direct x 3d rendering solution
because Unreal engine is ridiculously popular and AMD get it's ass kicked there even in this very moment
I guess it's the trend nowdays with games; either you are a hardcore PC GAME, or you live long enough to see yourself become a console portComment

From Guru...
Performance -- Well it's grand really. Some titles like Fallout 3 I expected to see a little better scaling but the generic consensus is that the Radeon HD 5870 is MUCH faster than the current leading flagship, the GeForce GTX 285. In fact on occasion it's even faster here and there than a GeForce GTX 295. See this is not a measly small upgrade, no Sir. ATI doubled up everything on the Radeon HD 5870 making sure you will get a grand gaming experience. And oh my gawd, I just realized what a beast the 5870 X2 will be.
Anyway, the results speak for themselves, and the good news is... we used an early beta driver for testing. Why is that good news you ask? Well, overall performance will only get better with future driver updates. If history has taught us one lesson, that is it.
Fact is, it's the fastest single GPU out that trades blows with the GTX295 while costing over a $100 less.Comment

ASUS Launches EAH5800 Series with Voltage Tweak Technology
The ASUS EAH5870/2DIS/1GD5 and EAH5850/2DIS/1GD5 are equipped with Voltage Tweak technology, as part of the SmartDoctor application. It enables users to raise GPU voltages from 1.15V to 1.35V and from 1.088V to 1.4V respectively, boosting GPU and memory clock performance from 850 / 725 MHz to 1035 / 1050 MHz and from 4800 / 4000 MHz to 5200 / 5200 MHz respectively.LCComment

The nv card will, best case, be 5% faster than the 5870, but Nv will have to charge upwards of 650 to brake even.Last edited by Corum Jhaelen Irsei; Sep 23, 2009, 09:02 AM.Comment

You are right, I skimmed the article too quickly.Originally posted by demowhc
Still ATI has blur issues..
However as we’re going to lay out in this screen shot, while AMD’s SSAA mode eliminated the aliasing, it also gave the entire image a smooth makeover – too smooth. SSAA isn’t supposed to blur things, it’s only supposed to make things smoother by removing all aliasing in geometry, shaders, and textures alike.Member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race-"Doesn't any game maker know how to make a PC feeling game anymore?

No, I'm not sure since you did not state "I have a from a good source that nV will not lauch this year", and I hope that source is not Charlie.Originally posted by Corum Jhaelen Irsei

So you really think that user profiles are so important that you will not buy the fastest single gpu on the planet? You don't need CF to still have the best card. None of the reviews seemed to have issues with CF either. I really don't understand the position.Originally posted by acroigI would be glad to once we get user profiles!

Hardware Canucks did a nice job testing the cards @2560x1600 Extreme IQ.
It's interesting to take a look at Min FPS

Added Rage3D's HD 5870 Preview to the list.
AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 5870 marks the debut of AMD's new Radeon 5000 series. In this first part of our Radeon 5000 series investigation, we dive into the technical details of AMD's beastly new video card, taking time to toss it against a selection of games & applications to see how it performs. Is the claimed doubling of the 4xxx series performance while keeping the power envelope in check even possible? Join us as we take a first look at the AMD's new Radeon HD 5870.

Not that impressed to be honest... I hope Nvidia's card is faster or I wont be impressed by that either.

Why is that? This is not their top sku part; this is the mid-range high end, the building block the true high end will be built upon.Originally posted by SirBaronNot that impressed to be honest... I hope Nvidia's card is faster or I wont be impressed by that either.

There are some odd results with Crossfire (Not scaling like it should).
Drivers need to be polished I guess ?Comment

Ah well I didn't know that, in that case that's not too bad... but that makes me wonder how much the top end is going to cost as this one is already £300.Originally posted by caveman-jimFantards the scourge of the universe:Comment
