    and my APOLOGIES for sounding a bit out there.

    and that 134gb wasn't helping me either...lol

    GDDR5 is quad data rate, so 1700mhz*4. Well, it still is GDDR5 3400, but has double the bandwidth per mhz compared to the other type of memory we are accustomed too, so 1700*4 for bandwidth.

    The GDDR5 on my 5770 is running 1200mhz and has 75GB/s. 128bits too.

    hummm...what are your clocks jcms?

    edit:
    so it is right. 134gb memory bandwidth. so im not crazy after all.
    good lookin' out jcms!..lol

    i just did my 5970 over clocked to 1250 and it comes out 160 gb...
    so now the real question.....
    10.1/4.1
    hdmi 1.3a
    gddr5 memory
    96 sp's
    512MB
    ....make up for not using the full bandwidth of the card.

    Yeah that is just way too much bandwidth. GDDR5 2400 would have done the job, no idea why they used GDDR5 3400

    could be a testing phase for them.... i really wanted to keep that card. it had another plus...no power to power it up....but i couldn't get past it not beating the 9800.....
    75 bucks...i would keep it though

    I could be wrong but I think this boils down to different marketing.
    The GT 240 has 850mhz*4 GDDR5 ram(or 1700mhz*2). I'm not sure that 1700mhz*4 GDDR5 is even on the market right now. For reference an ATI 5870 has 1200mhz*4 GDDR5.
    I believe nVidia markets it like that so on a store shelf someone doesn't make the mistake of thinking the 850mhz GDDR5 memory in one video card is slower than 1000mhz GDDR3 in another.

    yeah, nvidia and ati are different here...

    just like nvidia's sp's use to be true...while ati's use to be 5 to 1. so you would divide 800 by 5 to get the true sp amounts.

    But isn't that because they architecturally are different? And the equivalence is 5/1?

    Great news! Nvidia had it coming, I'm glad they are falling farther and farther behind. I was tired of all the BS coming from the green team over the past several years. Now it's time to give the red team a chance. From the surprising 4xxx series to the super powerful 5xxx series, the red team is making some damn good GPU's with a lot less resources than Nvidia.

    I doubt nvidia will ever come back as strong as ATI. Nvidia is slowly falling which they surely deserve. I will never buy another nvidia product again.

    Nah Nvidia shouldn't drop out otherwise ATI will come to a monopoly on the graphics world and we don't want that ;) idk if they'll come back on top, but we'll see I suppose. Back and forth tug of war lasts years on end so I hope it'll keep going back and forth so that we as customers can keep getting competitive prices :D

    Even if Nvidia loses to AMD / ATI this round their still undefeated on the linux front driver-wise.
    ATI Catalyst for Linux is just a big mess. xD
    (Unless you choose to use the open source drivers.)

    Cant wait to see some benchies of the ATI Mobility HD 5850-5870. :)

    tis is true.

    march means summer time for the consumer (june/july/august)

    gonna have to agree with jc on this one...and besides...the 5770/5750 is smoking all them cards to begin with. better try throwing up a gtx260 or something....lol

    Agreed... Athlon will have no chance.... quite stupid of NVDIA to count on old cards to compete with ATI's knights in shinning armor.. NVDIA has no chance here...

    My heart is split here.. NVDIA cards are good... they have Phys X.. ATI has DirectX 11..

    Agreed... Windows all the way. Also ATI keeps on loosing out on drivers to NVDIA... this might swing the vote for many gamers...

    I wouldn't count NVDIA out yet... it's big like Intel and trying towinthe war requires a lot more victories in battles......

    but for the past 4 years programmers worked with a terrible OS to design software for, aka, windows vista. windows 7 is out now, dx 11 is out now... there more and maybe 'better' surfaces to cover now. so while the old chip perhaps ran great from the beginning of DX10 to the end, the roles have seemed to reverse and it looks like we might just see users hold up the 5000 series for quite a while.

    i wouldn't jump out there on dx11 just yet...since most people cant run it at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 maxed out with 8xaa/16xaf...so dx11 has some draw backs....

    I thought so too but only 3D Mark 06 is disappointing. 3D Mark Vantage score is 26% more than HD4650 and that is to be expected from a card that has 25% more stream processing than its predecessor.
    GTA IV shows more than 40% improvement over HD4650 (although Core i7 surely helps in that department)
    It looks like DDR3 holds this card back as in Crisis it scores a lot more than HD4670 (MSI EX625) in low and medium levels but has almost equal fps rate at high level.
    Anyway in my opinion it's not as bad as I thought at first glance at 3D Mark 06 score and keep in mind that HD5730 should be somewhat faster and still affordable and available in 15&16" notebooks.

    it should, but, i don't think you're going to get as many multiple outputs as a desktop system.

    you got the laptop display, and perhaps a vga and a dvi or hdmi output. perhaps all three.

    Mobility 5000 should still support Eyefinity but how well it will push games at those resolutions is yet to be determined.

    things should get interesting once they try to force [email protected]h i don't see happening(speculation of course..in the beginning)... although...dx11 looks pretty damn great at 1024x768...which totally surprised me.

    They actually dismantled the notebook and checked what was written on a memory module so it definitely is DDR3

    When I linked it, you hadn't mentioned the bit about notebookcheck yet. :p

    I was wondering why you'd ask. lol

    Well, I'll give it a shot and see what I come up with.

    ^ That can't be right. The Broadways should be 256-bit, the Madisons 128-bit and the Parks 64-bit. I think that guys' just guessing.

    That means Cypress is not hitting the notebook market. The mobility 5800 series are thus based on the desktop 5700 series (Juniper)

    We are still having something to kick the GTX280m though.

    This is what makes the most sense imo.

    @30W & 128bits, you can have the 5850M in a standard-sized 15''. Think about the possibilities. Basically the same power as the current 4870/4850M, but 2/3rd of the power consumption & heat.

    For AMD based stuff yes, he came out with quite a bit of the 5xxx desktop chips information(performance and features) before release. Search for his name on beyond3d.com or the dutch site tweakers.net if you want to do some background checking.

    I would be surprised if anything there is incorrect at all.

    So either get a 5870, 5850, or 5750. Those are the high-end parts.
