Radeon HD 5870 DX11 - First Benchmarks

When you consider a $379 price point, the Radeon HD 5870 falls between the GeForce GTX 295 and the Radeon HD 4870 X2 (at $500, Nvidia has no choice but to cut the price on its GTX 295). Based on its performance alone, that's very competitive. But ATI also has a handful of capabilities you can enjoy today. Add Eyefinity, CrossFire support, and idle power consumption one-third of its predecessor and ATI's new flagship is still a solid win right now, even before factoring in the features and benefits this hardware will enable in the months to come. Never thought you'd see a reason to have so much graphics processing power (and don't own a 30" display)? Try gaming across three 20" or 24" displays. That'll tax this new GPU and give you a gaming experience you've never...er, experienced.
