| | (Post a comment) » ATI Radeon 5970 Performance PreviewAfter a 10-month hiatus, ATI's once again got the world's fastest graphics card. The Radeon 5970 fuses two RV870 chips onto one board for max performance, and is built for OC'ing. See how this board fares in the latest games including Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and DX11 titles like STALKER: Call of Pripyat in this article! |  Previous news article | Back to main news | Next news article  |

| | I hate when in the test setup they always use a intel extreme outlandishly priced cpu that maybe .2% of people out there actually own. They need to use a real world CPU that most folks have. I7 920 or phenom II at 3ghz or better. Its fun to see what the best can do but show real mainstream results as well. » Login to reply to this  BaddyMcfatty (119) Nov 18, 2009 - 11:58 pm
| | I second that. There seems to be a lack of cpu scaling in every article I read. I'd really like to see how a 720, 955, e8400, q9550, 920 scales since they are probably the most common with us everyday gamers. » Login to reply to this deimos47 (449) Nov 19, 2009 - 08:51 pm

the results would be slower, and slower. And compressed, with less difference between competitors.
At some point, (assuming no driver bugs/cheats) something like an Athlon 3000+ would be so CPU limited it would be like 10-20 fps in all games at all resolutions regardless of which card you used.
Would be kinda bland and boring..» Login to reply to this |
