wickedbl0ke Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 ^^^ Peeps are crazy mate. The PC will have to step down at this rate. Consoles make the perfect buy. Can anyone wonder what the PS4 will deliver at this rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yes this is why I left PC gaming. So much bitching about graphics but no good games to show for. PC gamers reply -- Crysis Yes but what else? I know most of the games look good on PC but who can keep spending fortune on PC? We need games that play well not only the ones that look well.

Nemo Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 ^^ ehhh.. i dont know that, i mean sure PC gaming requires a bigger start up but over a long run it is cheaper (game prices) than a console along with the fact that 80-85% of the time the games look and perform better on it.

john117 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 @peeps crying over price and power consumption -- thats a bleeding edge gfx card , thats the best gpu that money can buy right now ,its a flagship product !! btw its the only single card solution which manages crysis 1080p60 (60 fps at 1920x1080) and only card to hit above 30 fps at 2560x1900. @nemo- Respect ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Please! Not that PC vs Console fight again! PCs are awesome Consoles are awesome Toasters are awesome Lets just all get along! Anyway, 1000 watt PSU? And here I was thinking this time I'd upgrade only the graphics card. Hope nvidia's answer to this has lower power requirements.

john117 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Anyway, 1000 watt PSU? And here I was thinking this time I'd upgrade only the graphics card. Hope nvidia's answer to this has lower power requirements. not exactly .. ati recommends a minimum of 650 watts with a caveat , minimum 20A on 12v rail is a must. Actually the card idles at 42 watts and hovers around 300w at load, this kinda power consumption is quite expected as it has 2 5870 dies on one pcb and a single 5870 consumes 160 watts so it should have been 320 watts but the chips being used for 5970 are specially binned ones which consume lesser power than a normal 5870. here is a pretty indepth review of 5970 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3679 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only with the right hardware. I mean how would you describe a situation where Far Cry 1 does not run on a PC which can run Far Cry 2 without breaking a sweat. In the long run you have to keep upgrading your PC too and console exclusives >> pc exclusives. So it's an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Radeon 5950 due in Q1 2010(nice card for upgrading ) According to a recent article on German-language Hardware Infos, AMD might be planning a release of a new dual-GPU graphics card, which will be officially announced sometime in the first quarter of 2010. The specifications and features of the new card are somewhat similar to AMD's current flagship, the HD 5970, as both cards are based on the same 40nm RV870 graphics processing units. Said article also gives a summary on the previous reports on the rumored HD 5950, including details on the GPU and memory clock speeds. Unfortunately, these specifications haven't yet been finalized and we are expecting the HD 5950 to work at between 650MHz-675MHz core clock, or 1800-2000MHz memory clock. Additional features include 2 x 1440 Stream Processors, 2 x 72 PBC, 2 x 32 ROPs and 2 x 256-bit GGDR5 memory. Unfortunately there's no word on pricing, but the new card will debut sometime around the same period as NVIDIA's much-anticipated Fermi-based line of GeForce graphics cards. This should ultimately enable AMD to lower the prices on their latest generation of Radeon cards, as the Fermi-based architecture is expected to deliver an impressive performance boost, over the current GT200 family of GPUs. source: http://guru3d.com/news/radeon-5950-due-in-q1-2010/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
