Radeon HD 5700 Series Specs Surface

He meant the 4850.

I actually meant 4890, I was pretty tired when I typed that, but ty for correcting :p I was thinking the 5770 would be faster than the 4890 by a bit, I'm just curious to see how the missing SP's will impact it and if it will be above the 4890 or between the 4870 and 4890.
 
Yeah.... well... actually if the pull something like HD 4550 power consumption... wow... it will be nasty! :laugh:
Which is 6W idle and 19w max.
Lol, next the cards will end up supplying the system w/ power instead of taking from it!:laugh:
 
The idle and max board powers are rated by AMD at 18W and 108W

Very nice indeed, actually lower than a 4850 with more memory bandwidth. 2 of these in crossfire would probably eat less power than my single 4890.
 
Those power consumption numbers are awesome! Anyone knows how much the 5850 and 5870 downclock when not in games?
Maybe by using Rivatuner/ATT we'll be able to shave off a few more watts from the idle consumption... :D
 
it certanly wont do the performance of a 4890, but they outperform a 4850 by far !

And the price seems fair too :)

why not? it has similar specs 5770 and 4890
 
the memory bandwidth limits it

i thought about it..probably at high resolution the 5770's bw limits too much, but with normal resolutions (1680*1050 or less) this shouldn't happen,or i'mwrong?
 
Yeah.... well... actually if the pull something like HD 4550 power consumption... wow... it will be nasty! :laugh:
Which is 6W idle and 19w max.

Remember, 4550 only has 80SP... The low-end will definitely be a good HTPC buy once it comes around, what with all the new connectivity options and undoubtably improved performance.
 
retail prices seem a little high, but that is probably to make sure they can clear out remaining 4770, 4850, 4870 stock before the 5750/5770 go into discount mode. Looks like great replacement models, but I will be happy with my 4890 for quite some time.
