I think there are a lot of questions here. Did AMD enable DXR? Also the borderlands 3 benchmarks I see linked are using DX11, not really familiar with that benchmark, but I'd assume they would spit different number for the "Badass quality" and DX12 used by AMD.

This is a pretty poor showing, being only about 19% faster in the graphics department than ivy or Llano. I can't really say I am all that interested in it anymore :(. On a second note, does anyone know how much Trinity is being killed by lack of bandwidth? Since it seems that quite a few...

These rumors of 320x4 seem a bit odd. Anyways even more odd is the fact that the tdp is almost the same as the 5850... Seriously if this is supposed to be a mainstream part shouldn't it be around 100W, and yeah I can see that the 6750 is ~115, but that is fairly high for a consumer pc. So...

Loved the time line, forgot how bad companies used to be with launches.:lol:

Must have been in my head then. It would be very nice if 64 is the minimum, I really hate the idea of buying a notebook and only getting 16-32SPs.

yes, but don't they always say its going to be easy scaling it down?

http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3721&p=2 "Finally, texture units are now tied to the shader clock and not the core clock. They run at 1/2 the shader clock speed of GF100." I wonder how much more texture performance its going to have than gt200. can't be much if it is indeed half...

Kinda underwhelmed. I was expecting a little more than just 4670 + 10%. Of course if this is low power then I think it could be a big win.

This is a crappy line graph of tessellation on and off. its run at 1680x1050 af at 8 and every thing at max except aa which is off. I ran it twice and took the second numbers of each setting. Note: this is not a stock clock 5850 its @775/1100 hopefully this works, I havent really used...

Directx 11 is shy. He only comes out when I take a peak, once fraps tries to look he hides.:sad: I would have uploaded the data you wanted, but FRAPS doesnt seem to work with directx 11. Unless you know of another fraps like benchmark utility.

Did you see the performance hit with tessellation enabled? It is huge, I went from 55fps next to the dragon to around 15-18fps enabled. Of course the demo looks ugly without it so I guess really this is a tessellation demo. very impressive though when enabled, it looks a ton better than any...

Looks like Tomshardware is first up for a real review. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5870,2422.html edit: reading through it it seems to be an exact copy of the translated version. Only difference is that you don't need translator software. edit2: toms is also saying...

Has power use ever gone down from one generation to the other?

Yeah, I think you are right. I really meant geforce 4(of course thats easy to remember when someone corrects you:)). From here it looks like a half breed geforce 3 and 4. Does this sound about right? http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=2169

That sounds like an excuse that fan boys used more than anything. Wasn't the xbox gpu just a cut down geforce 3? I think it means more that they are having problems delivering on this new process than anything. It is a big chip and they don't have anything thats 40nm on the market yet(at...
