ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870: specs and benchmarks

ATI started Mobility Radeon HD 5870 sales 7 January 2010. This is TeraScale 2 architecture notebook card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 64 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via MXM-B (3.0) interface. Power consumption is at 50 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 7.88 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
