DAAMIT HD5xxx (Evergreen)
« on: August 24, 2009, 02:07:52 PM »
The word is Sept 10th 2009 launch date with 24-25th being the date you can get ur hands on it, and check out some stuff posted on another forum of a demo they were privi to:
http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=7640

A video of DX11 at work on a new titles we're mostly familiar with: Dirt2
PC Perspective Hardware Workshop - DiRT 2 DX11 Trailer

I got the word from a person in the know and i'll try to find the original reference to the date.

Evergreen will be 1.6 times faster than an hd4870? Interesting. I cant wait to see the numbers, also, Nvidia's response.

Ouch. So let me get this straight.

HD4870x2 is $370
2x HD 4870 is $300

then...whats compelling one to pay $400 for a 5870, assuming that the "1.6 times faster" assertion is correct, when the older gen offers the same performance for less?

I mean, this is strictly speaking from an upgrader's point of view. Those starting from 0 need not apply.

As I always say, it only makes sense to do a major GPU upgrade if the new card is at least two times
faster than what you have presently.  Let me see the actual performance data.  If it aint that much
more powerful,  I'll just sit out this gen.  My pocket will love me for it.  :)

Allyuh KNOW allyuh want one. Just that the price is a bit high. Will seriously consider a 5850 if the price and performance is right.

I'm actually glad I invested in the X2 when I did, because that 5870 wont be smelling me soon.
I don't think it will even outperform my X2, and if it does, its probably not by much.

The compulsion to upgrade has all but evaporated...by force too.  (Yeah, you read right :lol:)

If the projected prices for the Evergreens are correct, that means you can take the older gen, double it and get performance on par a single 5870 because lets face it, a LOT of machines that would see an evergreen would be higher end ones, 99% of which support crossfire. Dont forget, a pair of 4870's already cost $80 to $100us less eh. So if they drop prices of the current crop of cards, making it even CHEAPER to get evergreen-like performance with non evergreen parts, AMD will be esentially shooting themselves in the foot as very little people will go with the newer gen because there is no reason to.

The way I see it, those projected prices are crazy. Each one of those first launches will have to sell for a good $50us LESS in order for those parts to START to make any kinna sense.

Indeed... that is a SERIOUS force to recon with XD

@ Capn, it's called the Halo effect, they are bringing out TOP end cards and the spinoffs are what will make the dough.

Re: DAAMIT HD5xxx (Evergreen) - ***6 MONITORS***

AMD's making quite a hullaballo with its next generation ATI graphics parts. The company held a press conference to unveil the new graphics processors but didn't spill all the beans just yet. Outside of some really big numbers that we can mention, the new GPUs support a brand new feature called Eyefinity, a method by which to connect up to six monitors to a single video card.

Yes, you read that right - six monitors. No limitations either. Feel free to hookup six gigantic 30" displays if you want. Not all the new video cards will support six outputs, but three seems to be the new minimum. ATI's reasoning behind enabling support for so many monitors actually makes a lot of sense. While most of us can't afford a single 30" LCD (let alone six of them), grabbing three 20" LCDs can cost as low as $400. Six quality displays can easily be had for less than $1000 if you want to go all out.

Another piece of madness

You don't have to imagine what World of Warcraft would look like at 7680x3200, because you can actually do it.

And when i think dat crazy, hear some numbers

Quote
The new GPU will have 2.15 billion transistors, and will be capable of over 2.5 TFLOPs. To put those numbers in perspective, ATI's current generation Radeon HD 4890 has less than half as many transistors, and is capable of around 1 TFLOPs.

Yeah there's going to be cards supporting 3 and 6 monitors.

Extended desktop across 6 monitos would be awesome though, Especially if there's an option to put them in rows, 3 on top, 3 below and have all 6 make one big display...and have it work for everything including games.
