5870 real pics :D and specs :D

[xtkxhom3r]

Yeah, the estimated MSRP in the US per rumors are $299 for the 5850 1GB, and $399 for the 5870 1GB at the moment. So, it sounds about right.

that sounds about right i think the 4870's were prices the same when they were released

 

[Aztroth]

honest question do they even have support for octa-fire atm, or is that something thats gonna have to be introduced with the new cards? honest question.

And you'll need that for what? Crysis 9 in 20 years from now?

Wood be cool. There is a program from 2000 that i still get max 50fps on with a new ard

Reality. Check.
XFX offers you the ultimate reality check with the new XFX Radeon™ HD 5870 and 5850 graphics processing units. Bringing three new dimensions to gaming reality, these graphics cards challenge the limits that have restrained your gaming. Until now.
First, ATI Eyefinity Technology literally broadens your horizons by enabling you to spread out across three displays at resolutions of up to 1080p. Use this “wrap-around” in-picture experience to become fully immersed in your gaming—or productively immerse in your work.
Second, ATI Stream Technology gives your system a significant boost by offloading tasks usually sent to your CPU to your GPU. The result is a more balanced gaming platform that can handle the demands of today’s fully immersive games.
Third, both the XFX Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 offer full Microsoft® DirectX®11 support so that you can push your settings to the max and still game at the highest resolutions. And, sure-to-make-you-blink 3D effects are generated through HDR Texture Compression, DirectCompute and Tessellation.
As John Lennon once said, “Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” At XFX, we couldn’t agree more. Especially when you’re talking about the XFX Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 graphics cards.
Game on.

argh, less display port BS more HDMI please!

 

[OnDborder]

I'll take 2...

 

[ChinStrap]

MMmm

launch grows close.

 

[freeagent]

Should be good

 

[mjw21a]

Hmmmm, sacrificing cooling vents for display ports tends to indicate that the card won't be that toasty. I'd prefer they did away with a port and cracnked up the clock speed instead..... Leave nVidia so far in the dust they choke on it I say.....

Now if only AMD could do that with the CPU's..... Hurry up dozer!

 

[bohansen]

The design looks sick, especially the vents on the back. So what do you think the card size limit will grow to? Whatever cases come to?

 

[dribblesnort]

argh, less display port BS more HDMI please!

Display Port is what they use for Eyefinity so for me, the more Display Port, the better.

 

[kkpudge7]

*drool*

Me want very bad.....

 

[Automata]

Where are the WoW benchmarks

 

[Dolk]

Because Aion is more important

 

[Automata]

Because Aion is better looking but gameplay is still terrible

Fixed that for ya

 

[MooMasster716]

I though Display port was HDMI without the DRM and licensing thus a simple adapter changing the connector would make them interchangeable.

 

[xtkxhom3r]

i have a feeling these are going to overclock twice as good as the 4890's under water cant wait

 

[ratbuddy]

So is the NDA up at midnight or what?

Agreed. I also cant wait to overlock to 2ghz if ever possible.
