so what if the card was a fake?

**thepizzaman** · 10-09-2009

hm.... you know for those gt300 benchmarks they just overclocked a 5870 and said it was their new card

seems even they admitted defeat
i think ATI wins this round

5800's?! i didnt realise they existed! well my budget cant stretch to £300 so i think im going to stay in the 4800's. i dont need any more advice guys, i think im just going to get a 4890, less hassle then using multiple GPU's

so what if the card was a fake? let's be realistic: if i take my dell laptop, peel the sticker off and put a voodoo pc sticker on it, does that make it a voodoo? or if i take the sticker off my 4870 and call it a 5870, does that make it a real 5870? hell no! the real question is: how do you bench something that doesn't exist?

*lies, coverups, smoke and mirrors*

and that video was whack! what did it tell me about the new nvidia card? it is mirror coated? cool, i can see the reflection of the rest of the components in my case? that's really cool *super sarcasm*

i think acutally they are only about.... £275 or so... i know they are $380... depending on what you could find one for

haha...
oh just so you know... the 5870 is as fast as the gtx 295......... except the 5870 is a single core....

its twice as fast as the 4890 and faster than a 4870X2

2x 4870x2's in CFX will destroy a single 5870.....

he knows pizzaman

, there were some crossed wires over the pronunciation of (2x 4870's = 4870x2) & (2x 4870x2 = 4x 4870's)

the 5870 will out perform a 4870x2.
