The ATI Radeon HD 5970 slaughters the competition in pretty much every bench mark bewilder at it . It ’s outrageously fast . We ’re talking five teraflops here , people . trillion floating point operations per second .
MaximumPC put the 5970 to the test ( check outtheir review here ) , and found that it lives up to its promise . The 2 GB three-fold - GPU card is the first to endorse DirectX 11 , and basically doubles its wholly respectable predecessor ( the 5870 ) in glasses , open of delivering intimately 5 teraflops of rude processing power . It ’s a massive menu , about a animal foot long , designed mostly for heat dissipation , at which aim it apparently succeeds . It ’s also got easy access to overclocking via AMD ’s OverDrive , and can drive up to three displays at the same time with a maximum resolve of 7680×1600 . So it ’s reasonably much the big thing ever , and it ’s got a pricetag to match : $ 600 upon its unrevealed release . Yow . [ MaximumPC ]
