Ati 5800
The presence of a graphics card ATI series 5 marks its return to the battlefield. With support for DirectX 11, this product is a tough opponent graphics card from Nvidia.
At the end of 2009, ATI launched its new line of graphics cards as well as launch a new generation called the Radeon Radeon series 5. Unmitigated, within the adjacent direct ATI graphics card launched four series as well as to direct the market to fill the upper and middle classes, each in a series Radeon 5800 and 5700. ATI Radeon series 5 is certainly bringing new and better specs than the previous series. Not only that, any number of new technologies also are included in this latest series.
Technology
Birth of the ATI Radeon series 5 is certainly accompanied by new technologies to provide more benefits and convenience for the user when use it. From the eye-candy, the main thing that most will find the ATI is its support for DirectX 11. This is to follow the DirectX 11 support Windows operating system promoted 7. It should be noted, ATI Radeon 5800 and 5700 is the first generation of graphics cards that have been fully supports DirectX 11.
Moreover, in these 5 series Radeon, ATI is also a multi-monitor introducing new facility called ATI Eyefinity. This facility allows users to configure the monitor of a maximum of six units (when the graphics cards using CrossFire configurations or two graphics card). This is possible because now the ATI graphics card is able to handle three monitors per graphics card. And to be more flexible, available some configuration mode monitor which can also be arranged according to taste.
Specifications HD 5800 and HD 5700
Currently ATI has launched four series for the line of Radeon graphics card series 5. The fourth series is divided into two classes, namely HD 5800 and HD 5700. The difference is in the specification and the intended class. Radeon HD 5800 is positioned in the upper class, while the HD 5700 was in the middle class. For details more details, we will describe one by one from each series.
ATI Radeon HD 5800
Cypress has a code name, the Radeon HD 5800 series was first introduced to the public in September 2009. On that day, the direct ATI launched two series at once, namely the Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5850. Both series of graphics cards is projected to replace the Radeon HD 4870 and HD 4850.
Both series graphics cards are now equipped with high-speed GDDR5 memory and the memory interface width of 256-bits. Both are also equipped with as many as 1600 units of stream processors of fruit.
ATI Radeon 5870 HD graphics card which is much faster than the HD 5850. Design reference standard graphics card is very long and large. Eutectic forms also a big box of the same size with long length of the card.
Radeon HD 5870 is equipped with a standard speed of 850 MHz, GDDR5 memory with a set at the speed of 4.8 GHz. And being able to work optimally, this graphics card need a big enough power. Therefore, this graphics card has two ports PCI-Express power.
Are slightly below, the Radeon HD 5850 can be likened to replace the Radeon HD 4850, but with the improved performance was enough. Radeon HD 5850 accelerator is equipped with a speed of 725 MHz, slightly lower than the Radeon HD 5870. This graphics card is also equipped with GDDR5 memory which is also slightly lower than the Radeon HD 5870, which amounted to 4 GHz.
ATI Radeon HD 5700
Not until a month ago since Cypress introduced and launched, ATI also launched two series of graphics cards continued to complement its new product line with the code name Juniper. Juniper family made ATI RV830-based graphics accelerator and consists of two series, the Radeon HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5750. Both graphics cards are placed on the middle class that offers good performance, but still the price is still affordable and relatively low power consumption.
ATI Radeon HD 5770 has 850 MHz speed accelerator, while the Radeon HD 5750 700 MHz speed. Similar to the Radeon HD 5800 is faster, both HD 5700 series is also equipped with GDDR5 memory. Radeon HD 5770 has amounted to 4.8 GHz memory speed, and Radeon HD 5750 amounted to 4.6 GHz.
Although both equipped with GDDR5 memory, the Radeon HD 5700 series has only a memory interface of 128-bit only. The interface is only 128-bit is clearly going to affect the overall performance of the graphics card itself. But if you only run it at standard resolution, the performance difference will not be too pronounced. Do not forget that even the lower power requirements, both the graphics card Radeon HD 5700 still requires an external power supply from your PSU.
Performance
As the latest generation graphics card in the upper classes, the Radeon 5870 and 5850 provide excellent performance. With bright GDDR5 memory with 256-bit memory interface, the second graphics card is very convenient to run DirectX 10-based games, even still show a decent performance while running at high resolutions. And for mainstream classes, the Radeon 5770 and 5750 is sufficient for most users. Its performance is also not inferior to the series 5800. Unfortunately the use of 128-bit interface to make its performance a bit stuck. However for use at standard resolution, the Radeon 5770 and 5750 was more than enough.
Conclusion
The four graphics card is a very attractive offer for those who are looking for a graphics card or who want to upgrade. Bid prices are also quite reasonable given considering that the price war going on now is more intense than the first. Overall, we recommend four graphics cards as a priority choice. But which one is right for you? We give some performance test results for the fourth graphics card then you can consider according to your needs. (Steven Irwandi)
