Hi, is it true the ATI 58XX is coming out today (Sept 22) or tomorrow? Or was just rumor?

C mon THG, 22 sept 14:00 and no review, nothing, nada.

NDA ends today and no official onfo about the card. Oh let me guess like NV they see the opponent bahind tech&time wise so a surprise delay for shippement, better yields...... and sell all remaining 4770 ..?

Reply to rudinho

SOMETHING better happen today. I am getting sick and tired of all these damn dates being thrown around and NOTHING happening as they go by. What the hell is going on here? When are we going to get solid concrete info on these damn cards? Ha this is ridiculous. I go to their website and there is nothing at all about the 5xxx. All it is is rumor over rumor over rumor. Don't mean to vent but its annoying. RAWR! :fou: There are dozens of sites saying launch on september 22. There were also sites that said launch one september 10th... all we got that day was the dumb eyefinity World of Warcraft on 20 screens.

Will agree... the 22nd has come it's still not here... and does anyone else think it's strange that there is NO info on this card on the manufacturer's website? Ahhhh the rumor mill strikes again.

Reply to then1z

there will be info when the NDA lifts, not before, not even at Ati's own website...

You could be closer to the truth than you realise, if the supply and demand rumours are any indication.

Visiontek is the only supplier of HD4870 X2's on Newegg right now and they've been slashed to $329 without rebates.

That puts it nicely in line with the price/performance scale of the incoming HD5xxx series.

For comparison, the nVidia GTX285 is at $325 and the GTX295 is at $470.

It's a bechamel sauce that's being used, lol. Sorry I'm a culinary student :)

But yeah... I want my 5000 series, I'm putting off a build waiting on this thing.

I predict a release on Oct 22 7pm est... Lets hope I'm wrong ;)

A release date is one thing, having one in your sweaty little palms however...

Nah I rather not have one on my sweaty palms. The sweat can get on the card and maybe damage it. I rather have it installed on my motherboard and running.

I took my whole day off just to read reviews.... get home and nothing.

Reply to Dekasav

it would be funny, even it has 1 % to happen, NV release the GT 300 in next 5 day, w/o shortage of the product on the market.... that would be a marketing genioushit & ati blow. Okay to much i played Total war way too much :)

Yeah, sorry it is down now.

It was up in french I believe.

Basically those leaked benchies seem accurate. Single card holds it's own against a 295 and crossfire wins all in most games.

WTF?!?!? Why would DELL need high end GPUs?!?!? I bet ATI can make more money off of the enthusiasts than off of Dell when it comes to high end cards.

Why build your own when an Alienware will cost so much more? makes sense.

Apple makes the best computers for everything, the price assures me of that. Silly ATI, should have dealt with apple.

only good thing I know about apple is the instant startup from sleep mode on laptops :P

Reply to Ehsan W

Well, the HD 5870 seems even/a little ahead of the GTX 285 without AA, but it's performance hit from AA is very, VERY low. Comes out ahead of it by quite a lot (with AA)

Reply to Dekasav

the review i've seen says it performs worse than 4870x2 sometimes :/
let's hope those are driver problems
5870 crossfire takes GTA 4 highest settings though perfectly, without aa though......
other games around the 4870x2
overhype anyone?

Reply to Ehsan W

The thing is, as CF/SLI scaling get better, beating last gen's dual-gpu card is going to get harder and harder.

Looks like it's pretty even with the GTX 295, little below maybe, but better when AA is involved. Similar to how the GTX 280 dealt with the 9800GX2, but this time, the new card is cheaper than the old dual. High-five for ATI.
