Recommend which ATi 5000 series I should buy....[CLICK FOR MORE]

[Peetah]

The 6000 series are gunna have insane potential.
If u guys care. They were pushing for 28nm architecture. But unfortunetly they couldn't do it.
It is now confirmed at 32nm.

Thats fucken insane. That is half the size of a 5800 chip and 3times smaller then an Nvidia.
Theoretically: Half the heat produced, Half the electricity consumed, and more room for overclocking.

Good night.

still..... games arent getting much better. 5870-5970 (end)

unless they start making things have depth and 360 visual goggles that show certain pictures based off the angle of your head.  with 3-d maybe even 4-d later in future :O

I never got what the nm stuff standed for. Can anyone explain?

Nanometer

Size of CPU

Smaller = Less heat

Less heat  = More OC'ing

etcc

yes Nm means how small the die is.
Basically less heat outputted and less power drawed.
Thoe it is more expensive to make a smaller die cause its more complicated to fit that many transistors in such a small place.

I wonder y Ati is still cheaper then Nvidia. Figures

pwnn

nvidea wastes its money on phys-x and 3dstereo

ya lol

I would wait the 6000 seres is gonna use less power too i heard?

GTX 480 performs better than 5870, no where near as close to 5970 though.  Wait for 6000 series and buy a 5000 series when the prices drop.

[Peetah]

the 480 is just a monster 40nm power sucker.
Its not so hard to jam that many transistors into a 40nm possessor.
If it were to be slower then the 5870 that would be a disgrace to all graphics cards all around the world.

Smaller chip, way less power

shit now the 350 watters gonna hate

You're kidding right.
This card is as old as my MX440.
