Even though most people manually up the fanspeed this card is still completely stable at 80cĬons: Drivers are still slightly immature, had a couple display driver crashes that recovered without restarting so no big deal, haven't had it happen since updating.

Plays Cryisis on full settings without a fuss, every other game I play averages framrates well above the actual refresh rate of my monitor.

it's time to upgrade mobo and proc to really let this GPU fly. With the 4870 some scenes/areas in AoC I can see my processor pegging 100% CPU utilization, so yeah. I'll be pickin' up the water block for this card soon so it will not be an issue.įYI - the 9800GTX fan noise is similar for those looking for a reference. I am really glad I went with this card over the much higher priced Nvidia offerings.Ĭons: The fan noise is high at max setting - but 90% of the time it is fairly quite. I've raided in AoC the past two nights with the 4870 and saw smooth gameplay at high settings. If any of you remember the launch of the 9700PRO, this is that kind of value - this is your chance to jump back into the RED with ATI. and then I read early reviews of the 4870!!! So I hit the 'EGG and sure enough, they have a 4870 in stock - click buy!!! As I'm doing my research I see ATI is making waves with the 4850. Then I saw Nvidia had released the GTX260/280 and thought - ok, that's the way to go. A few weeks back I picked up a 9800GTX which was an improvement but not really enough to allow smooth game play in all situations.

The tests will be conducted on our Windows Vista, Intel X38 based system: Read on.īefore we head on to the benchmarks, here's a quick look at our test setup. Will it outperform a Radeon HD 4870 X2? How will it fare against the Radeon HD 5870? How hot will it run? All these and more will be answered. Today, we are going to see how two of them in CrossFireX will perform. In our review of ATI's latest offering, we concluded that it is essentially an updated Radeon HD 4870 (or close to it) with better power and thermal efficiency, support for DirectX 11, and Eyefinity. With that in mind, we turn our attention back to the ATI Radeon HD 5770. Sure, the technology is not perfect (think driver issues and card compatibility), but it's better than being stuck with a single card or forking out much more for an all new solution, right? These technologies allow you to increase your graphics processing oomph by simply purchasing another companion card. ATI has CrossFireX, while NVIDIA has SLI. The good thing about graphics cards of today, apart from being faster of course, is the scalability they offer.
