Aftrunner Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Here you go. The name of the Evergreen family remained a well kept secret as long as it stayed within AMD. When AMD decided to tell partners what the new name would be it didn't take long before the information leaked. VR-Zone was quick to snap up the information supplied to partners and it clearly states that Cypress will become Radeon HD 5800, where Cypress XT becomes HD 5870 and Cypress Pro becomes HD 5850. No performance specifications were mentioned in the first post. However, in a related discussion it was revealed by CJ that the series will sport performance equal to 2FTLOPS. If the individual shader performance remains about the same we would expect the specifications to be around 1600 shaders and 80TMUs (speculation). The bus is back to 256-bit, and not the odd numbers we heard rumors of before, and the memory amount is 1GB, 2GB with pimped up versions coming later. The new Eyefinity technology deserves to be mentioned too. It will enable users to use up to three displays with a single card. Sources to Donanimhaber have informed them of the prices of the Radeon HD 5800 series. The faster Radeon HD 5870 is said to be priced at $299, while the slightly slower HD 5850 will be priced at $249. This is pretty much the same as the launch of the Radeon HD 4800 series. Once again AMD is aiming for the sweetspot in terms of Price/performance with a single GPU rather than raw performance. The pricing is pretty great. Esp for the 5850. Need some real world benchmarks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john117 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 ^^ no real world bench marks for dx11 anytime soon.. but theoretically 5870 should be able to do crysis 1080p60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inFamous91 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 ^^ATI 5870 is powerful as 4870X2.Must buy for me Check this:: http://www.dvhardware.net/article34936.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nice, time to unviel the 3XX series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inFamous91 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nice, time to unviel the 3XX series Nvidia will drop a better card but yeah they will cost 30K ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nvidia will drop a better card but yeah they will cost 30K ++ Probably but the problem is there arent many games around that will use all that power. Worse there isnt much coming thats likely too either. So this sounds like a smart bet if you are thinking of upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inFamous91 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Less than twenty days left for the ATI 5000 series to be revealed.So whoever wanna upgrade dont rush out and buy the Current Nvidia 200 or ATI 4000 Series. Probably but the problem is there arent many games around that will use all that power. Worse there isnt much coming thats likely too either. So this sounds like a smart bet if you are thinking of upgrading. No game will fully utilize the power of these cards and on the other hand CRYSIS 2 will make these cards suffer. A PC port of a game comes damn late after the console versions that probably i think due to piracy rather than what they say;making some technical improvements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nvidia will drop a better card but yeah they will cost 30K ++ that used to be the case earlier, ATI did hit them hit on knuckles and that too in a bad way, so the prices will be competitive.

Aftrunner Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Crysis 2? Doesnt seem likely to me. They are developing it side by side for the consoles as well and there is no way in hell any game that can run on a console will punish PC hardware thats already 3 years ahead in technology. At best we are looking at the Crysis 1 engine with some minor tweaks. At worst a poor port. In fact I will go so far as to bet money that if your current card (any card) can run Crysis at (lets say) medium settings then it will run Crysis 2 at the same settings without much of a problem.

Major-Minor Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here are the supposed specs - OMGOMGOMGOMG!! Crysis Benchmark on a 5870 - CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 955BE Win 7 RTM VGA:HD5870 1GB Crysis 1900x1200 4AA+16AF DX10 Very High min:30.** avg:43.** max:54.** http://bbs.chiphell.com/viewthread.php?tid...;extra=page%3D1 For comparisons sake - (offcourse this is just something a user at B3D has made so it won't be accurate since he has taken results from two seperate benchmarks with different hardware but for the same game and same settings.) http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1...;postcount=2466 Further from Anandtech Wanna see what 24.5 million pixels looks like? That's six Dell 30" displays, each with an individual resolution of 2560 x 1600. The game is World of Warcraft and the man crouched in front of the setup is Carrell Killebrew, his name may sound familiar. Driving all of this is AMD's next-generation GPU, which will be announced later this month. I didn't leave out any letters, there's a single GPU driving all of these panels. The actual resolution being rendered at is 7680 x 3200; WoW got over 80 fps with the details maxed. This is the successor to the RV770. We can't talk specs but at today's AMD press conference two details are public: over 2 billion transistors and over 2 TFLOPs of performance. As expected, but nice to know regardless. I played Dirt 2, a DX11 title at 7680 x 3200 and saw definitely playable frame rates. I played Left 4 Dead and the experience was much better. Obviously this new GPU is powerful, although I wouldn't expect it to run everything at super high frame rates at 7680 x 3200. Playing Dirt 2 at 7680x3200 with 2AA on a single 5870 and getting playable framerates- Anyone up for Hawx at a superduper HD resolution?! - Read More at Anandtech What is outstanding is that we are hearing that the HD 5870 will perform at just under 28 watts at idle and peak below 190 watts maximum!! - read more The 5870 and 5850 are officially launching on 23rd September, 2009. The cards will be available at retailers come October. Now to wait for proper reviews which should start showing up from the 23rd and offcourse to see what Nvidia has to offer.
