Konklusion
HiS HD5870 1024 er et grafikkort, der er bygget over AMD/ATI's nyeste og kraftigste teknologi - og som understøtter DirectX 11 og OpenGl 3.1. Kortet er forholdsvis støjsvagt og overclocker med Catalystdriverpakken uden problemer. Kortet er udført i et gedigent design; og man er ikke i tvivl om kvaliteten. når man holder det i hånden. I stort set alle tests er HiS HD5870 helt oppe på siden af, eller over, NVIDIA's GTX-295 i ydelse. Med hensyn til pris og strømforbrug, har det aldrig været billigere, at anskaffe sig den allernyeste teknologi ,der sparer både miljø og pengepung, samt er fremtidssikret og optimeret til Windows 7 der frigives til salg om meget få dage/uger. Kortet har i øvrigt bundlet et spil i fuld version, der støtter DirectX 11, så man senere kan teste og afprøve sit nye kort fuldt ud. Kortet må siges, at være årets køb, da det performer som et GTX-295 eller bedre - men er lang billigeret og støtter seneste teknologi.
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Teknologisk er vi helt oppe i front med HiS HD5870. Kortet benytter GDDR-5 RAM på 1200 MHz og GPU'en understøtter en så ny teknologi så denne end ikke er udkommet endnu til privatforbrugere. Pt. understøtter kun spillet Battleforge med en særlig patch DirectX 11 - men inden længe kommer der flere interessante spil; nærmere betegnet i 4. kvartal 2009. I 2010 er der mere end 20 titler på vej, der understøtter DirectX 11's forbedrede grafikteknologi. I år burde vi se STALKER:COP - og også STALKER: Clear Sky, skulle der komme en patch til, der giver DirectX 11-egenskaber.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Bundlet er forbilledligt med alle relevante adaptorer, samt et spil i fuld version, der kan downloades når dette er færdigudviklet inden længe. Dokumentationen er dog 6 siders laserprint i sort/hvid. Så det er gået lidt stærkt med, at sende kortet på gaden. Der er dog ingen kontrolsoftware med, eller anden software fra HiS; så trods mange gode intentioner, opnår kortet "kun" en score på 4.
Design/Layout - 5
Designet er ændret kraftigt i forhold til sidste generation af grafikkort fra AMD/ATI. Der er monteret en helt ny køleløsning og kortet er større og længere end tidligere. Dog er dette ret støjsvagt i forhold til den høje ydeklse, og formår at holde kortet tilstrækkelig koldt. Kortets GPU er optimeret voldsomt til strømbesparing under brug - såvel "idle", som under 3D-belastning. Dette kan tydeligt ses på el-måleren og "miljøregningen".
Software - 5
Driverne virker perfekt og forbilledligt. Dog kan der pt. kun overclockes ret moderat med disse. Installationen er nem og en hver kan finde ud af, at bruge drivernes avancerede funktioner uden problemer. Selv ens mor kan overclocke dette kort eller opsætte det til brug med 3 skærme via Eyefinity/HydraVision.
Ydelse - 5
Ydelsen er i en klasse for sig og overgår i visse tests og brug selv NVIDIA's GTX-295 dual-GPU kort, der har hele to grafikchips, og 792 MB mere RAM. Som single-GPU grafikkort får du intet andet på markedet pt. der matcher HD5870 fra HiS.
Pris - 5
For allerseneste teknologi, er dette korts pris i en klasse for sig. Da NVIDIA's GTX-295-baserede løsninger koster ca. 600,- DKK til 1.000,- DKK mere og ikke understøtter den nyeste teknologi, samt yder dårligere i visse tests end HiS HD5870, lander karakteren her på 5. Det har, som AMD selv siger i deres markedsføringsmateriale, aldrig været billigere, grønnere eller et bedre tidspunkt at investere i et højtydende grafikkort. HiS HD5870 koster ca. 384,99 USD iflg. diverse udenlandske netbutikkers oplysninger. HiS HD5850 koster 1.995,- DKK iflg. EDBpriser.dk så forvent ca. 600-800,- DKK mere for et HiS HD5870, i Danmark. Dette er i sandhed et kort der opfylder "maximum bang for the buck"!

hereUK summary
The HIS HD5870 1024 is a graphics adapter built on AMD / ATI 's newest and most powerful technology that supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.1. The card is relatively quiet and overclocks with Catalyst driver pack without problems. The card is made on AMD/ATI's reference design. And one doesn't question the quality when one holds it in ones hand. In virtually all tests the HIS HD5870 is up on the side of or above NVIDIA's GTX-295 in performance. In regards of the price and power consumption, it has never been cheaper to buy the very latest technology which saves both the environment and the pocketbook, and is future proof and optimized for Windows 7, which is released for sale in very few days/weeks. The card has a game bundled in full version, which supports DirectX 11 so you later can test your new card fully. The card must be said to be "purchase of the year", as it performs almost as a GTX-295 or better - but much cheaper and supports the latest technologies, as mentioned
Innovation/Technology - 5
Technologically, we are right up in front with HiS HD5870. The card uses GDDR-5 RAM at 1200 MHz and the GPU supports such a new technology so this is not even released yet for private consumers. Currently only the game Battleforge -with patch- supports DirectX 11 - but before long there will be many more interesting games in quarter 4 of 2009. In 2010, there are more than 20 titles on the way which supports DirectX 11's improved graphics technology. This year we should see STALKER:COP and also STALKER: Clear Sky get a patch giving it DirectX 11 support. So therefore the HiS HD5870 get a score of 5 in this category.
Bundle/Accessories - 4
The bundle is exemplary with all the relevant adapters and a game in full version, which can be downloaded when this is fully developed shortly. The documentation is 6 pages of laser printing in black and white so it's must have been quite hasty by HiS to release this card on the market. There is no monitoring software, or other software from HiS bundled, so here the card gets a score of 4.
Design/Layout - 5
The design has been changed substantially compared to the last generation of graphics cards from AMD/ATI. Mounted is a new reference cooling solution and the adapter is larger and longer than previously. However, this card is quite quiet compared to the performance and the cooling solution manages to keep the card well cooled. The card's GPU is optimized for power saving very hard during use in both "idle", as under 3D load. And this can clearly be seen on the electricity meter, as also on the "environmental bill." This card will save both the environment and one's wallet, in these areas.
Software - 5
The drivers work perfectly and exemplary. However, there are currently only moderate overclocking possibilities with these. The installation is easy and everyone can learn to use the driver'sdvanced features without any problems. Even your mother can overclock this card, or configure it for use with 3 screens via Eyefinity / HydraVision.
Performance - 5
The card is in a class by itself and in some tests even make NVIDIA's GTX-295 dual-GPU card fall short, which sports two graphics chips and 792 MB more RAM, than the HiS HD5870. As a single-GPU graphics card you can get nothing else on the market currently, that matches the HD5870 from HiS.
Price - 5
For the very latest technology, this card's price in a class by itself. Since NVIDIA's GTX-295-based solutions cost approx. 600,- DKK to 1000,- DKK more and do not support the latest technology and performs worser in some tests, that the HIS HD5870 1024, the card gets a score of 5 in this section. As AMD says themselves, in their marketing - it has never been cheaper, greener or a better time to invest in a graphics card based on the HD5870 GPU. HiS HD5870 costs around. 384.99 USD according to sites on the Internet and various foreign shops information. HiS HD5850 costs 1995,- DKK according to EDBpriser.dk. So expect a price around 600-800,- DKK more for a HiS HD5870, in Denmark. This is card truely fulfills the concept "maximum bang for the buck"!
