[HalfAHertz]

Great collection of facts/fiction! Thanks and keep them comming
When does the NDA end exactly?

2900XT was gamble with those short shaders. But from generation to generation it is paying off. As know from before NVIDIA are going to struggle to match this generation of GPUs. ATI are firs to DX9+ (xbox360 gpu) DX10.1 now DX11 first to 40nm. NVIDIA are going to have very hard time ahead of them. In last generation ATI had won price/performance but NV had the crown. With DX11 IMO ATI would have both.

You guys rock by the way. I've spent years on other forums, so very glad to have found TPU...

Wow cant wait to see the review. When I was at quakecon they had the 5800series running in 2 pc's but they shaded the sides out. It was sweet is all i can say they also gave out tshirts that said I SAW THE FUTURE it was sweet.

Nice collection.

people can speculate on how fast a GT300 can be, but at the moment, there is no such card.

No pictures, no benchmarks, no specs, no pricepoint.
Just a damn name for the time being, i expect around november that we might see the first leak from it and by january we might see the launch.

In the months between they will probaly release alot of tempetations, such as figures, images to hold our money away from ati.
My guess

page11 should say catalyst 9.10, not 10.0 (it's not fully incremental, it's yearly.incremental month)

I'm sorry, but I did not find this "leak collection" article match of the professionalism and quality I have adhered to TPU so far. The NDA ends Sept. 23, and Wizz has a card. So, why trying to gather some quick traffic by collecting low quality shots and second-hand info in an article?

Just my two cents...

So you don't have to look at a 100 other places for "low quality shots and second-hand info", from other people looking to "gather some quick traffic". Simple.

so what would you change ? all the available info is in the article, i can't break my nda and start adding information to it at will.

as bta said, it saves you a lot of time going through thousands of forum posts which takes ages (we know what we're talking about because we did it for this article).

ultimately you are free to look at it or not, best is of course to wait for our launch article on the 23rd

reading launch article and worshipping w1zzard is my tradition everytime

it did save me a lot of time and trust me time is something I don't have the luxury of wasting.... so to me this "leak collection" article was the ONE stop for 5xxx info!

ultimately you are free to look at it or not, best is of course to wait for our launch article on the 23rd

looking forward to it!

@btarunr, keep up the great work!

Nice article btarunr & w1zzard! Next two weeks should be very exciting, good job getting the ball rolling!!!

 

[ForeignLander]

So Wizzard, are you implying that these are the data/news that are correct about the 5800 series w/o actually saying that they are thus circumventing the NDA? ^_^

Can't wait for your article on the 23rd.

 

[W1zzard]

as i mentioned before, we posted everything that has some plausibility, we do not confirm or deny anything

 

[Imsochobo]

Do you remove links that is way out of reach of what you experience with the card ?.

Well, is the noise around the 4870 levels ? exceeding by far? is it 4890 levels?
Hope you are allowed to answer this.

Really the only question i have, and to read what reviewers think about it guess ill wait for that hehe.

 

[BazookaJoe]

I'm still Unconvinced... but all this news DOES seem to suggest that here comes a new challenger...

End of the day I want the best card for the best price, no matter who makes it.

[LaidLawJones]

Hey W1zzard,

I hope that I am lucky enough that you read this post. You said something about having the card for a lengthy test period.

Could you please, or will you be testing using all variables? This will kill all criticism. No one being able to say anything about physix on off etc.

I am an ATI fan and would love to see this card romp all over no matter what setting or DX v is used.

5870 fires NDA!

*miss*

w1zzard fires plausible deniability!

*hits for critical damage!*

LOL.. it's "manly" of W1z and btarunr to compile such an article of leaks/rumors that are already scattered all across the internet. At least they're not being derps like some other sites, thinking that getting anywhere close to crossing the line of NDA is actually breaking it (just like driving 35mph in a 45 mph zone when 44mph is the way to go ).

 

[Bo_Fox]

The centrifugal fan does seem a bit small this time. It seems to be 70mm in circumference, if I am correct?

The fans used in reference G80 and GT200 cards appear to be around 80mm or so, which obviously mean quieter creation of the same amount of airflow. It must be another indicator that this 5870 chip would be running rather cool at a rather low voltage...
