5970 2 card crossfire benches!!!/review!!!

right from hexus.net

in farcry 2 its nearly double the power of a 2card sli gtx 295!!! holy crap O.o (thats without oc)

barely rises 5 frames over the gtx 295 n modern warfare 2 on lower resolutions but again kicks it senseless as it goes up.

it seems to trip and flal on crysis howevr this could be bad driver support however i feel its very minor b/c it keeps the loses to a minimum (just 2-3 frames under gtx 295 sli).

ET:QW matchs the two pretty steeply on lower resolutions but the gtx 295 again chokes the second you hit bigger screens. and in a big way too.

Yeah, but who will pay $1200 for two of those? We are waiting, nVidia! Bring the competition.

Nah I know that folks, but ATI will have to lower their prices as nVidia's products sure are going to be a hell of a lot faster.

The Crysis performance is depressing will there ever be a GPU that will run it on Very High with 4xAA at 60FPS?!... hopefully the next series will manage it, damn it feels like I have said that twice before :P.Too_tight_shoes

that are just number show me true gameplay than you gonna see the microlags, stocking and crashes with quad crossfire solutions, and the benchmarks dont show the work of 3 285s. Farcry dont supports quad gpu solutions.

its just the truth sir.

look here for awesome 5970 benches

There's about 10 games tested, the link I put in is Crysis for obvious reasons, and tbh that is awesome performance even with 4xAA on @ 2560x1600 it still gets 46fps+, at 1920x1200 4xAA it gets 74fps+.

no nvidia has sli profiles and keep upgrading them. ATI hasnt, it works or dont. Why you even listening to other people you should ask enthusiast like me about this topic.

[QUOTE="Iantheone"][QUOTE="hofuldig"] its not micro lags its just Microlag or the more common and more excepted term is MicroStuttering. and i sereously doubt your gonna see any. If there is gonna be any micro lag on an ATI card there will be microlag on an Nvidia card. and going from 2 GTX 285's to 3 GTX 285's isnt much of an increase in any games. fanboy.

look a single 5970 is freaking sick... imagine the 5990, xfire is great on it, but i have nvidia sli mobo, asus m3n ht 780a, great board. so ill prolly stick with nvidia and keep one of my 8800gt ocx as a physx card, with cards like this nvidia better have some good things planned, ati is definately ahead of the game.

nvidia might also want to keep price an issue too, dont want to price yourself out. especially on the benches of what that 59## series cards from ati can do.

but that being said, i have my gf on an ati setup (palit 3870) due to case size and power supply (480w) im upgrading her to like a 5750, i think it would be a great upgrade over that 3870.

see in all actuallity i cant wait for nvidias dx11 gpus(prolly what im gonna get), but i dont see it beign more powerful than 2 5970's i could be wrong but i dont see it. i honestly see it more powerful than the 59 series but not more than 5970 in xfire, (hopefully not trailing too far behind it though lol :))
