That is an INSANE card... imagine two of these on an SR-2 with two 980X's??? Mmmm.... yummy....

very nice card!! I was looking at the bench results and of course this card was always number 1, but i was surprised that the gtx480 didnt do any better I was under the impresion that the 480 was better than the stock 5970, but the stock 5970 i noticed beat it in quite a few tests, also the 5870 beat the 480 in a few scenarios.

The 480 is single card. It cant compete on par with a dual-GPU 5970

 

[DTV DRAGON]

yeah I guess i should of realized that, interesting that the 5870 did so well against it though! and when the 480 did win ,it wasnt by very many points

Interesting reviewed at bittech, but these reviews are very lacking. I was hopping they compare the 4GB 5970 with 480 SLI. TPU, if you guys review the 4GB 5970s, could you guys make sure to include:

4GB 5970
4GB 5970 CFX
2GB 5970
2GB 5970 CFX
480 and 480 SLI
whatever else you want throw in.

Thanks!

These cards are such monsters lol... one of these would hold me over till dx12

 

[DTV DRAGON]

I cant beleive how fast all these new cards are comming out, I havent realy got into the video card market only until about 1 year ago, before that I was on agp still,but back then i dont remember haveing all these different choices to pick from, or maybe the video card war was still there but I just didnt notice?

 

[HolyCow02]

damn that thing is a beast. I wish I had the funds for one of those. Good find

Whats the use of testing a 480SLI. A single 5970 beats two of them on SLI in most games. The GTX480s are toast if you compare them with a 4GB 5970.

if im correct i think you mean

 

[mdsx1950]

if im correct i think you mean

LOL. Your 50% correct. I dont want to see the normal 5970 CFX performance. But i would love to see the CFX performance of the TOXIC cards.

I totally agree. Its awesome to see ATI doing so well with these new cards.

Indeed. It took him 2 hours though.

 

[Sanhime]

I don't like excluding any cards or setups in reviews and benchmarks. The more the better. Include all high end cards and all SLI and CFX setups.

To all 5970 owners here, which games have you played with this card/s? IE which games do you have currently installed on your system?

Did you ever have any issues?

BFBC2
TF2
CSS
Killing Floor
DODS
SF4
UT2004
UT3
FFXI
CODMW
CODMW2
COD5
and other games not important enough to mention.

Source games and MSI Afterburner don't like each other when OSD is active.

For all first person shooting games, my issues is I expect to get 200+fps at all times, even during intense combat and I'm not getting it. And I'm not getting 100% scaling on 2 5970s. (I know, I'm being wise guy)
