grunt_408 · Sep 23, 2009, 08:13 PM

I wonder how much the performance drops when you run 3 or six displays like say with a res of 11520 x 4800.....

naoan · Sep 23, 2009, 08:15 PM

Performance gain is linear in some (read:most) case, and this is with premature driver!

You can kinda get an idea that the cards themselves on load would need about 420watts just for themselves...

grunt_408 · Sep 23, 2009, 08:25 PM

I dont think I will be going crossfire for a while looky here at the AUS price

ShogoXT · Sep 23, 2009, 08:30 PM

Im sure you could get away with a decent 750w or a good 650w, like the new Corsair one. Just make sure it has the plugs.

EDIT: Opps well ive been mostly looking at modular ones lately.

Thats the one I was talking about. Corsair sure does gouge on them though.
EDIT: Earthwatts from Antec arnt bad either.

hd 5850 cf benchmarks complete .. making graphs now, should be up in a few minutes

FishHead69 · Sep 23, 2009, 08:59 PM

Any reason why your Benching with 9.6 and not 9.8 ?

edit: Maybe I'm just misreading it and your using a beta driver

HTC · Sep 23, 2009, 09:25 PM

In interested in the power consumption of CFed cards, be it 5870 or 5850 and, if @ all, temps are higher then with single cards.

The only game in this review where CF totally failed is Quake IV. I wonder what the performance graphs would be if this particular game wasn't in the review.

All in all, very good review: many thanks.

all other ati cards use 9.6.. it's kinda difficult rebenching all cards each month. i'll probably rebench all cards when a 5800 official catalyst is out, and then next rebench in november when the new vga benchmark rig goes up

power + noise + temps tomorrow (11:30 pm for me and i've been benching and working on reviews all day .. just like the last days). uploading 5850 cf results right now, should see the new graphs in a few minutes

For a Xfire Setup 2 5850s is the way to go..

For "only 2 cards", i would say so.

Still, i wonder how much more would tri-fire or quad-fire give ...

In any case, and unless you're aiming for max details on 1920 / 1200 or above resolutions, with AA and AF, more then 2 cards would be overkill, IMO.

snuif09 · Sep 23, 2009, 09:55 PM

just got my self a new mobo wich had for pci-e x16 slots =D

now i wish i had the money for four 5850's

1Kurgan1 · Sep 23, 2009, 09:59 PM

Amazing, I'm glad I now play at 1920x1200, these would be the perfect fit, too bad I don't have the cash now.

troyrae360 · Sep 23, 2009, 10:03 PM

@W1zz Any chance of a Quadfire review next? you might even set some records

Agreed. 4870 CF sucked early on, at a time when when i7 was breathing new life into high-end SLI scaling.

4850's are mopping up too! I'm trying to wait for 2GB cards or an X2. Damn this is gonna be tough..

We are waiting...

YOU are the man.

I hope you do as much work when the drivers have gone through some more optimization.

DrunkenMafia · Sep 24, 2009, 12:12 AM

good review..... crossfire 5850's are the way to go imo!!! awesome power and much cheaper than its big bro.

Smashes the 295 for the same price as well

and you don't need a mega nuclear psu...

Good work ATI

Agility · Sep 24, 2009, 12:25 AM

Best performance in all resolution... But the most horrid dollar chart.

wolf · Sep 24, 2009, 01:33 AM

Awesome review W1z, these cards are just what the market needs right now

5850/5870 CF chop pretty damn hardcore, 2x5870 2gb eyefinity6's is what I'm waiting for

senninex · Sep 24, 2009, 02:10 AM

Wowwwww.... this is AWESOME performance.. No 1 VGA to date!!!!!!!!!!

I bet NVidia get trouble now due to their new GT300 not ready yet.... But i'm believe it will be release is very soon (if their won't lose more customer).

If i buy.. I'll choose for 5850 series due to save cost & performance close to 5870

However, I'm need calm down wait for GT300 series show it claw & see if it able to beat 5870 or not..... AND off cause performance/price is the main factor for me.

So i keep my 8800GT on table for a while because it able to play all kind off game so far.

Thanks for the review...

I bet NVidia get trouble now due to their new GT300 not ready yet.... But i'm believe it will be release is very soon (if their won't lose more customer). If i buy.. I'll choose for 5850 series due to save cost & performance close to 5870 However, I'm need calm down wait for GT300 series show it claw & see if it able to beat 5870 or not..... AND off cause performance/price is the main factor for me. So i keep my 8800GT on table for a while because it able to play all kind off game so far. Thanks for the review... P.S : sory, im poor in english!!! LOL Last edited by senninex; Sep 24, 2009 at 02:16 AM.
