Many website like Hot Hardware, PC Perspective and AnandTech have posted detailed reviews of the new graphics cards. Marco Chiappetta of Hot Hardware writes, “The new Radeon HD 5700 series cards don’t quite dominate the competition, however. In fact, the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 can be had for about the same price as the Radeon HD 5770, but the GeForce outpaced the Radeon in every test. That said, the new Radeon HD 5700 series cards are strong performers at their respective price points, and they do offer features above and beyond anything else in their range, namely Eyefinity and DirectX 11 support. Couple that with low power consumption and low noise, and these cards become even more attractive.”
