[muzux2]

its not meant to be SO powerful.

why it couldn't be? It's an 1600 Shaders monster, equal or better than 2 x HD4890's..

^You better watch out! I suggest you take a look at the PS3 as well.

[damn]

I bet nvidia is already working on a 22nm G92 now.

 

[Vij]

RahulPayne's quoted bechmarks are so different from the AMD released ones.

But if its anything like what the AMD benchmarks claim, then this one is an even more astounding release than what the erstwhile 9700 was.

 

[muzux2]

Full benchmark, 20 games tested on HD5870/5850..

At 1920x1200 5870 loses to GTX 295 in most of the benchmarks. The 5850 beats 285 hands down. Hope they price it well.

^ Well GTX 295 consumes lotta power compared to the 5870. Those few frames wouldn't dent the 5870's reputation.

Its also a generation newer, which about evens things. What we need to see is whether it stands up to the GTX 380

 

[rite]

Wrong, in a majority of the benchmarks especially which are stressful the 5870 smashes the 295. In all future games that will be the case.

 

[zanderzone]

Well, GTX 295 is 2x GTX260 ..... guess what could 2x 5870 could do

Nvidia confident that GT300 wins over 5870

Nvidia is still not revealing any details about its chip that we still call GT300 but one thing is getting quite certain. A few people who saw just leaked performance data on ATI's soon to launch Radeon HD 5870 have told Fudzilla that they are absolutely confident that GT300 will win over Radeon HD 5870.

Since GT300 has its GX2 brother they should not fear much against Radeon 5870 X2 whenever that comes out, as if Nvidia wins a single chip battle, they can win the dual one as well.

We can only confirm that GT300 is not a GT200 in 40nm with DirectX 11 support. It’s a brand new chip that was designed almost entirely from the ground up. Industry sources believe that this is the biggest change since G80 was launched and that you can expect such level of innovation and change.

The launch as far as we know is still slated for late November and hasn’t been confirmed.
