Can't wait for an in depth Eyefinity [H]Review now.
Well I see the difference ingame(missing effects when hardware Physx is disabled)...and in countless videos (like the one i posted), so I am having a laugh here...no offence.
You are misunderstanding what I have said. Our evaluation, when it is ready, will explain.
Let's stay on topic please, our Batman evaluation is about 2 weeks out still. We have a lot to test with it, and 5870 will be included in the cards tested on it.

one of my biggest concerns with ATI right now are the drivers. During testing did you guys experience any crashes or issues that were driver related?
Keep in mind that the driver we used is an early Beta driver for Cypress. We encountered two errors related to 8X AA in NFS Shift and Ghostbusters. We quickly informed AMD, and they quickly fixed the issue and sent us a new driver which fixes the problem. The release driver for the cards works just fine and fixed the issue we had. AMD/ATI was both quick to respond to our problem, and quickly found the fix and provided that driver and made it part of their release driver. Other than that, we had NO problems with this Beta driver. It was stable.
Our upcoming multi-gpu testing will be using an even newer driver provided by AMD.

is that only in the 5870 or included in the 5850 as well?
Just an idea for future update of the review guys,can you add the GTX295 in the tests also?
Thanks!
Very first paragraph, page 14.

When is that going to be ready?
I haven't even started it yet. Going to use Win7 RTM, and new AMD driver, and higher CPU clock rate, so have to re-test all 5870 gameplay, plus adding in a bunch of games, a possibly going to test a 3x1 Eyefinity setup at high resolutions as well, and have to go out of town to California next week, so it won't be next week, but when it is done, it will be one hella awesome evaluation.
Anyone know how long the card is? I took an image off newegg and used my cad program. Its about 10.5" to 11" From the PCB edge by the I/O bracket to the decorative vent.
It looks to be tight fit for my case.
Thanks.
On a side note, for ppl who whine about the performance and they are a bit disappointed (hint:focus on min fps on highest settings)
10.75" according to our evaluation, page 4.
not impressed, really not worth upgrading over my 285. hopefully the gt300 will be better.
Did you read the review ?

While the performance is very good, doesn't hit 30 average so I don't see it worth an upgrade over the 285 either. In my experience you need 30 average for a smooth Crysis experience. Better to wait it out and see if Nvidia's next top single GPU solution can hit 30.Did you read the review ?
