5800 ati cards????

[samal90]

any of you guys know when the 5800 line up will hit us??? It was supposed to be at the beginning of this month!

Thx....

hope Tom will have benchmarks for those very soon

lol where the hell have u been?

The rv790(4890) is hitting the markets at April and 5800 series probably somewhere when ´starcraft2 gets out i hope due to the fact that these companies blizzard and amd are collaborating and also sending their aces out at the same time. Id say Somewhere in July worldwide because its vacation and more people play far more in vacations. While the 5870 etc will hit the markets about august September or later. DX11 coming out that time.

Yeah, little chance of the HD5K series launching before summer, especially during the current economic situation, better to extend old lines rather than launch into everyone being broke.

what's the difference between 4890 and 4870??

 

[rescawen]

4890 is RV790 core and 4870 is RV770 XT

Probably just a same difference as a q9450 to q9650 if in CPU

 

[cjl]

The 4890 has a slight boost in clockspeed and number of SPs compared to the 4870. Not a huge jump.

ya, its the last leverage of old technology before the real 40nm kickin

what's the difference between 4890 and 4870??

A row of transisters around the outside of the chip to allow for higher clocks is basically all it is.

I heard from many articles/rumors and based on ATI roadmap that Radeon HD 5800 series will come out within only 3 months like in Late July/Q3 2009. It is possible that ATI could release DX 11 GPUs before NVIDIA.

And I also heard from NVIDIA's roadmap that NVIDIA will release DX 11 in Q4 2009.

anyway if any1 wants to upgrade the graphic card that he owns right now i suggest he waits even if it hurts

i dont really care about dx11 i care about 40nm and the fact that this brings better performance with a lower price

4 example u bought a 4890 u paid 250$ u got 100% performance now after 2-3 month a new card arrives like say 5850
it coasts 230$ and gives u 120% performance + all the additives


so what do u think

lower coast
lower power consumption
lower psu requierements
lower heat
higher performance
higher clocks
more stream processers
40 nm
