awesome review wizz. An amazing card, but it costs more than 3 times as much as i paid for my 4890.
It's nostalgic seeing ATI firmly on top again. They havent had a foothold like this since the 9700/9800 era.

Overall a pretty good card, goes to show driver work has been done as she has posted scores above double a single 5870, cant wait for those 9.12's
and It can play crysis!, I bet that was nice to see W1z, ~75 fps @ 1920x1200 with AA, we can finally play the game ![]() any chance you can revisit 5870 CF with these drivers? the performance should be above and beyond this card even. DAMN good work ATi, things are coming along nicely. |

Nice to see that it is a winner in just about every test, and really pulls its weight at higher resolutions. Crysis 2560*1600 4xAA = 46.7FPS.
![]() Also nice to see that it can stay in the mid 80s temperature wise. Wonder if that can be noticeably lowered with a higher fan speed.

I hail from a cold place. It was 7F last night.
This plus a waterblock for me would be awsome. Now is there any way to get a GTA4 screenshot at max settings? And mebey a benchmark........

I will answer it once and for all. "Does it play Crysis"....."Yes Motherf---ker. It will stomp a mud-hole in Crysis and walk it dry."

This is the new beast and that is one huge card. Floored by performance, and really price isn't that bad. About what I expect the GT300 to come in (mebbe more along their dual gpu price) I can wait for prices to come down in a year. Awesome review!

how about a direct comparison between the HIS and this one, see if clocks, or quality are different as of performance numbers.
