870722 2010-03-30 06:01:00 Kinda in line with what your saying, Hardocp tests GPU's using a "Highest playable IQ settings" user experience type system, opposed to just a medium and maximum frame rate on a chart, possibly the only hardware review site that does.

Part of there conclusion "We can’t say that any of the real world gameplay advantages blew us away compared to the experience of gaming on a Radeon HD 5870"


Well worth a full read for those looking at a upgrade.

www.hardocp.com

HardOCP make a special point of mentioning the power consumption, the GTX480 uses over 100W more than a 5870 under load, and the performance increase is bugger all.

I ordered my 5870 yesterday after I read the HardOCP review, got the waterblock for it today.

870723 2010-03-30 22:31:00 Waiting for GF104 or the GTX440, apparently 3 months away, less shaders etc, but could be a great med range card....I dont think my 16x10 would require 5870 or 470!....Hopefully the respinned chip will use less power and have less heat... SolMiester (139)
