| 866596 | 2010-03-13 08:46:00 | Yea the 5770 is about equivalent to a 4870 but maybe around 20% slower than a 4890. No the GTX260 does not have DX11. I wouldn't worry about DX11 atm. Its unlikely most of the mid ranged cards like the 5770 have the grunt to run DX11 in all its glory when its fully utilised in a few years. Not talking about a few token DX11 effects we are getting added to a few games now. As for PhysX, it does have some tangible benefits in a few games but the CPU could easily do the same work in most cases. The push to utilise it is a attempt by Nvidia to steer users towards there brand. The jury is out if this t attic will be successful long term. Its up to you what value you put on it. I disagree with you, DX11 games WILL RUN FASTER on DX11 compared to DX10. Which means the 5770 will beat the 4870 on dx11 games. But the 4890 will still be faster. But the 5770 is capable of overclocking beyond the 4890 speed due to the the nnew design. Then it will beat the 4890 in dx11 games. The 4890 isn't a great card for ocing, as its ref design is the same as the 4870 but tweaked to higher clocks I def would go for a 5770 if you want a brand new card, or opt for a second hand 4870. the old gen ati cards are impossible to find, and if you do manage to find one, i would imagine rmaing would be a problem And if you want physx u can just add a physx card like the 8800gt and run the physx hack which allows you to use physx from that card and you can have an ati ass your primary card |

| 866597 | 2010-03-13 09:01:00 | Of course the 5770 will beat the 4870 in DX11 mode. the 4870 is DX10! | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 866598 | 2010-03-13 20:41:00 | Of course the 5770 will beat the 4870 in DX11 mode. the 4870 is DX10! Yea thats my point, and you get the futureproofnesseseseses Why go back to DX10 when games will be optimized @ dx11 cards, also some of the visual performance too |

| 866599 | 2010-03-13 21:13:00 | Well, I'm not sure about now but when DX10 first came out games took a performance hit when played in DX10 mode, and when played in DX9 was much smoother and better overall. So if that was the case again then I think it's better to have a 4890 playing in DX10 rather than a 5770 playing in DX10 because it craps itself doing DX11. :p |

The 4890 isn't a great card for ocing, as its ref design is the same as the 4870 but tweaked to higher clocks The problem is there are no games out built from the ground up with DX11 in mind and wont be for several years just like we saw with DX10 . Sure there are a few DX11 enabled tittles with a few strap on extras, hence not to impressive yet. I am not saying DX11 is slower than DX10 as thats not the case. As most gamers replace there GPU at "least" every two years DX11 is not a major consideration. I don't disagree with a 5770 over a 4890, id be leaning that way too below 1920x1200 and on a budget but not because of DX11, heat power and overclocking. In future DX11 titles with full on DX11 tessellation the 5770 wont stand a chance with full eye candy enabled and at decent resolutions. |

| 866602 | 2010-03-14 02:04:00 | A 5870x2 would be great but it costs too much and wouldn't fit in my case anyway :lol: Simple. Buy another case too.:clap |

| 866603 | 2010-03-14 02:21:00 | I thought they called it the HD5970? Tell you what, you give me the extra $1000 I would need and I'll buy it :D |
