ATI now dominates the graphics industry with their DirectX 11 Radeon HD 5000-series video cards, which allows them to enjoy current-generation gaming on Windows 7 and Vista. The ATI Radeon HD 5870 has already beat the worn and weathered GeForce GTX 285, just as the Radeon HD 5850 and HD5770 do at their respective price points. By combining two Cypress XT GPUs together on one PCB, the ATI ! Radeon HD 5970 video card will now compete against the very best NVIDIA can offer: the GeForce GTX 295. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the ‘unlocked’ Hemlock GPU against the top graphics products available and demonstrates just how much ground AMD has gained in a few short months.

It almost felt like this card just came out of nowhere and surprised us all.

It was expected to happen sooner or later. But ATI/AMD has been releasing products like crazy this year, so i was expecting it would happen sooner.

Better later than sooner. Release a product before its fully tested would suck. AMD/ATI can't do a Phenom video card like disaster.

They're ATI division is much better than their proc division.
Well they make two different types of chips so the bad luck with the Phenom I wouldn't cross over to ATI and their products.

True, i'd like to see them put the same effort they do in ATI cards into their procs.

Even though AMD owns ATI I believe they run day to day operations like 2 separate businesses.
Different type of chip so things can't go back and forth.
Yep, the only difference is ownership.
