Thread: Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 analyze

ATI is on a roll. There is no questioning it or refusing the reality that the boys in red have supervised to crush a consecutive number of nails into NVIDIA’s DX11 ambitions by being first to market with not one but a totally series of brand new, segment-contributing DX11 cards.

The HD 5800-series was initial on the scene and showed that these new cards could contend with the best of the best from the former generation and then some. Still, in many people’s opinions, there was one thing missing: ATI firmly setting their turf by placing claim to the fastest graphics card in the world. That’s where the HD 5970 2GB comes into the picture.

The new HD 5970 is a double GPU card that gets use of an on-board PLX bridge whittles to handle the connection among the two cores. All GPU core is capable to address a hitting 1GB of GDDR5 memory which will hopefully make the bandwidth issues of the HD5800-series of cards a thing of the past. From a perfect performance standpoint, this card’s potential is just out of this world.

We all mention the HD 4870 X2 and the more former still no less substantial HD 3870 X2 dual GPU cards so some of you may be inquiring where the “X2” moniker went. Well, ATI has determined to do away with former naming meetings for one reason or some other and think it or not It concretes the HD 5900-series as the modern high performance cards in ATI’s lineup when keeping a clear difference among all of their product ranges.
