In a word, if you want the maximum performance in OpenGL, grab this card! This is a very nice news for all OpenGL fanatics! In OpenGL, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 seems to be a real killer and is faster than Radeon HD 4870 X2 or GeForce GTX 295. But this positioning is mainly a consequence of the huge amount of Direct3D-based benchmarks. It’s just behind the dual-GPUs Radeon HD 4870 X2 and GeForce GTX 295. – System wattage at idle without video card: 161Wįrom this analyze of the available reviews, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 is the fastest single GPU graphics card currently on the market. Guys at ard OCP have found a power draw of around 222W: 381W – 161W On the other hand, FurMark is far more intensive than real-life games, so the practical power draw is going to be closer to the first number than to the second.

It makes full use of all GPU resources and the new card’s peak power consumption is as high as 160 watts. With 3DMark06, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 power consumption is 107W and with FurMark, the power consumption is 161W.įurMark provides a different picture. Power consumption: 3DMark06 SM3.0/HDR test

Maybe this limitation is only for Radeon HD 4000 series and does not affect FurMark rendering with a Radeon HD 5000.Īnyway, the guys at X-bit labs have done detailed tests and have measured the power consumption directly on the board power connector:

I don’t know if these power values ares correct due to the limitation of FurMark effect in Catalyst. I found two power consumption tests with FurMark but Length: over 11.1″ (longer than the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and the GeForce GTX 295).GPU Computing: OpenCL, Direct Compute 5.0 and ATI Stream.Here are the results of my reading compiled in this post. Ok, I launched my favorite browser and parsed all available reviews. The long-awaited Radeon HD 5870 is out NOW! ATI’s Radeon HD 5870 is the first DirectX 11 graphics card on the market and it is being hailed as the fastest single graphics card ever.
