Imagine for a moment that you were a multi millionaire and had no limits when it came to budgeting for your gaming rig. Well, today we hope to take you on a trip down fantasy lane as we look at not one, but two of the XFX Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition Limited 4GB cards – Number 021 and Number 022. Would you love to be in a position to budget over £1,800 for just the graphics cards? Yeah we thought so, join the club.
Today we get the chance to put Limited Edition sample 0021 of XFX's Radeon 5970 4GB through its paces. Tests will cover 5760x1080 Eyefinity gaming, GPU computing, HD playback and the usual selection of single screen gameplay... is this the most extreme 5970 ever? Can it play the latest games including Mafia 2 and StarCraft 2 at 5760x1080? Let's find out...
Lange wurden die neue Grafikkarten Radeon HD 5870 und HD 5850 basierend auf dem RV870 erwartet. Lange? Nun betrachtet man den Zeitraum, den die Radeon HD 4890 als High-End Karte den Platz an der Sonne genießen durfte war die Wartezeit nicht gerade lang: 6 Monate bildete sie die Spitze der Single-GPU Grafikkarten. Doch Ende September musste sie die Krone an die HD 5870 abgeben, aber wie: 40nm Fertigung, GDDR5-Speicher, DirectX 11, verbesserte Stromsparmechanismen, ein leiser Referenzlüfter, Eyefinitiy, verbesserte Bildqualität, verdoppelte Recheneinheiten, es gibt keinen Bereich in dem die HD 5870 der HD 4890 nicht deutlich überlegen ist. In diesem Artikel möchten wir uns jedoch die Radeon HD 5850, quasi die kleine Schwester der HD 5870, ansehen. Mit ebenfalls allen Vorteilen der HD 5870, etwas weniger Leistung aber zu Kampfpreisen ab 200 Euro ist sie besonders interessant. Unser Exemplar von XFX musste dabei den üblichen Testparcour über sich ergehen lassen und sollte für einige Überraschungen sorgen.
Today we have the XFX Radeon 5830 XXX Edition on our test bench and it will be put through its paces in a selection of real world gaming, multimedia and GPU computing tasks. As always these will feature DirectX 11 titles such as Alien Vs. Predator but we have also updated our test suite to include a first look at Mafia 2, Lost Planet 2 as well as StarCraft 2 and 3D Blu-Ray.
Die Neuauflage der XFX Radeon HD 5830 muss seit neustem gegen die GeForce GTX 460 bestehen. Dank deutlicher Preissenkungen bei der 5830 stehen die Chancen nicht schlecht.
The XFX Radeon HD 5830 video card features 1120 stream processors, 1GB of GDDR5 memory, a custom GPU cooler and a price tag of under $240. If you are looking to spend under $250 on a DirectX 11 graphics card that fully supports ATI Eyefinity then you'll need to take a look at this one and see how it performs to other video cards like a couple different NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465's for starters.
The new Radeon HD 5830 comes quoted on the USD 260-USD 270 range in the USA, and on this price range it competes directly with GeForce GTX 275, a model that is being phased out right now, leaving solutions based on this graphics processor from AMD virtually the only video card on this specific price range. Let's see how Radeon HD 5830 compares to GeForce GTX 275 and whether or not this model from XFX is a good buy.
The RADEON HD 5830 comes to fill in the gap between the best-buy 5770 and the 5850; it features dual 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors and has about the same performance as the 4890 in DirectX 10 games. The XFX model comes with a custom made heatsink that sports 5 heatpipes, meant to cool the card better than the stock solution.
OK, we're through playing nice with these new ATI 5xxx video cards. The corporate logo for XFX says: "play hard.", so Benchmark reviews is going to take that motto to heart and show what this cards can really do. Almost every single competing card runs at higher than reference clock rates, and they all come that way from the factory. Every single card I compared the HD5770 to, when we reviewed the reference design from ATI, was factory overclocked. That's just the way it is with video cards built on mature GPU technology. Well, every ATI 5xxx card can easily be overclocked using the standard driver package from ATI, Catalyst Control Center, since it includes ATI Overdrive. So let's do it, let's compare apples to apples, and as a bonus, I'll throw in some CrossfireX results, too.
Graphic cards
This card is based on the top selling Radeon 5770 that we all know and love, but now features a single slot cooler. This gives the user better overall cooling when using multiple graphics cards in a CrossFire configuration. It has all of the features that the 5xxx series have to offer including full DirectX 11 support, AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (formally ATI Stream Technology) and AMD Eyefinity.
