ASUS EAH5970 2 GB GDDR5

Microstuttering still present on 5970 cards?

(regarding Dirt 2's performance)

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,...DX-11-Update-Radeon-HD-5970-results/Practice/

But the micro stuttering of the dual GPU card is strong and 50 frames per second on the 5970 feel about as fast as 30 fps on the 5870.

If that's the case, then I'm still happy to be a retired SLI veteran, having experienced this horrible problem with 2x 7900GTX's in SLI where Test Drive Unlimited at 40 fps felt like 23 fps. My 8800GTX chugged along at 45 fps which felt like 45fps.

Sh!t... I got sig quoted for that??!! :shadedshu Nevermind!! I take it all back! lol

Of all the smartass comments I've made on this forum... me giving props to ATI becomes my debut sig quote. Time for me to go play in traffic!

its fact you are giving credit where it is actually due. Get so many here who bash the parts that come out when they are actually performing well.

i haven't read all the posts on this thread so this may have been answered already...

are all 5970's the same? i haven't purchased one because a friend has the sapphire unit and he is unable to raise the voltage or overclock. the asus utility doesn't recognize his card, and other similar utilities for these mods don't work properly like the asus utilty does on an asus 5970. i know that different vendors of other model cards design in/out features and components that make them unique and i am wondering if the asus' tweakability is not standard for all brands...?

the asus is more expensive than some so i only want to buy it if it offers an advantage.

thanks in advance for any info!

It's likely he has a non-reference 5970, which usually don't allow for voltage control.

thanks for the reply, thats what i figured it was.

my search continues, i just learned the xfx black edition doesn't allow fan control without a bios tweak of some kind. does the asus allow fan control anyone know?
