HD 5870's released

the difference starts at 1900 x 1200 for most games.

I'm still waiting for you to show us how to use it, I'm sure sarah is dying to know.

As I mentioned blizzard says that wow does not support sli not because of any inherent problems from sli but becasue when wow came out there was no sli, so its not a matter of sli problems, its a matter it just plain old does not support sli.

still waiting on your directions on how to make wow use sli, funny cause 99% if the people here and on wow forums swear that they can't use sli.

You have to remember that the 5870 is a single card. Just like justin.kerr said, you need to compare apples to apples.

Holding the HD5870x2,that would be powerful,but more expensive.Anyway,we have waiting for GT300 for long time,when will it cames??Who knows???????I heard that was some problems on production efficiency,is that???

I'm following NV for about 6 years,never get disappionted.Looking on next few months~maybe we can get some surpris~

But one thing,I wish they could reduce some power consumption in next monter cards,I paid ï¿¥1100 last month for electro...About $150+,that was too much in China.

well the 5870 does consume lower power so hopefully they all the new cards will follow that pattern, they are suppose to from the info I have been reading so let see but ya please take performance up and power consumption down

I was reading one of the reviews and I can't remember which one exactly but it was stated that the Nvidia GT300 series is pretty much going to wipe the floor up with ATI.

to enjoy Dx11 you will need a dx11 card, but I think your 295 should do you fine for the next 2 years and by that time there will be a new version of dx and more powerful cards, you could upgrade then if you see the need.

This by far was a very interesting topic to read.I think ATI put out a nice line of game cards for a good price.Im waiting on nvidia because i know nvidia will wipe the floor with ati performance wise.The thing that really scares me is that we all know the 300 series will be very expensive.Alot more then what ati is asking.So my question is at what point in time will the 300 series come down to a more reasonable(affordable)price?Right now i have dual gtx 275's in sli and im very pleased with the performance i get with a 1920/1080 screen rez at 23 inches .When the time comes i will probally go sli again with the cheaper of the 300 series but not neccasarily the cheapest of the bunch.I live in an apartment with limited space so i cant get a bigger desk for my pc setup then i already have.And i can only fit a 23 inch monitor on my desk.My question is will they make 23 inch monitors for next year with alot more rez then what i have now?Because it only makes sence to me that if im going to get new game cards that will be twice as good(possably better then twice as good)that i should invest in a monitor with way better rez and have the over all gaming pleasure expieriance.

I don't think the prices are gonna be that much different, yes it probably will be a little higher but it will also be more powerful.

ATI was good before amd took them, obviously nvidia will respond with better cards, thats a given based on recent past history, and the cards coming out in nov - dec are just gonna be the first round also, Nvidia has made it very clear that it wants to have the highest performance in the market, it does now and I have no reason to think or see that it won't in 2010, specially after seeing how the 5870 is performing.

no he is a cool guy, I think once I figured out the difference of why anadtech had 5870 doing better was because of the aa and af settings, there was no reason to argue anymore, but justin is a cool guy, I would not think he would ever lie about things like that, he wasn't in this case, it was the aa and af settings.

We know you are not a lier justin no need to explain, you are a well respected member here.

so you guys are moving?

I see, good luck on all of it, specially selling the house, what state are you located now?

how is the housing market there?

Ok then, that is good news

Maximum PC rated this card the best single video card available.  That's why I chose it for my system(due to be delivered this week).  Maximum PC is not GOD but I have come to trust their opinions.

Have any of you actually seen tessaltion in person? I saw it. I've only run one ATI board in my life but my new system is coming with the 5870, but only one 5870. If Nvidia comes out and beats ATI in the spring, I'll probably switch but for now I really want tessalation.
