This article brings us our first benchmarks of an ATI card, and our first experience with EyeFinity. I was fortunate enough for ATI to contact the WSGF, and I was able to obtain an HD 5870 1GB sample for testing. A full review will follow, but I wanted to get the numbers out as soon as I could.
My rig currently stands at:
- ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB Catalyst 9.10
- EVGA X58 Tri-SLI Motherboard
- Intel i7 920 at 4x2.67GHz
- 12GB G.Skill DDR3 RAM
- 2x Samsung 320GB T-Series HDD (one for the OS and games; one for swap file and FRAPS)
Disclaimer
"Ramblings of a Moron" is a review series done by WSGF member Cynagen. While reviews from other sites focus on extensive play and detailed postmortem analysis, "Ramblings of a Moron" is a first impression "stream of consciousness" review. The grammar isn't perfect, and the prose can sometimes be disjointed, but these are the first impressions of a seasoned WSGF Insider. For more information, and for more Ramblings, see the complete list of Cynagen's offerings.
