which DX11 gfx card

Hi, Seeing how dx11 gaming is already out now with "Colin Mcrae-Dirt 2" & "Aliens vs Predator" releases in february,"Battlefield Bad Company 2" in march,i'm thinking of buying dx11 cards,well there is no released nvidia card as of yet,GF 100 will be nvidia's released dx11 card first quarter of this year,but it will be expensive & i don't think it will be beat ATi due to ATi releasing 5000 series dx11 breeds,& that brings me to the ATi 5870 crossfire,this 2 card combination is the fastest at the moment,even the new ATi 5970x2 is slower,5970x2 has 3200 processing cores but slower clocks is more or less the same as having two 5850's thus 5870 has 1600 cores but faster clocks is best option. I have two nvidia 8800 GTX xxx editions = 128 + 128 = 256 processing cores,so my conclusion is if i buy one 5870 for now with 1600 cores it should be faster than my 2x gtx,then at some point buy another. I think waiting for nvidia's GF100/dx11 card to be released before buying new dx11 cards would be best option also because prices should fall,but i'm getting hungry for dx11

Has anyone bought a dx11 card yet or thinking about buying,what card ?

The ATI HD range, 4890 or something, will me a 2gb all singing all dancing DX11, however at 13" long, might need to upgrade to a full size case!

sorry dude,4000 series are only dx10.1,if you want dx11 its 5000 series

Might be that then, i dunno ive always stuck to nvida, but i know there are TI's out there ready to rock

I'm buying this; http://www.tekheads.co.uk/product/XFX-ATi-Radeon-HD-5870-XT-1GB-GDDR5-PCI-E-Dual-DVI-Graphics-Card---Retail_25233.html


i'm all ready to kick ya ass in dx11 Battlefield, :!:

Looks nice, my problem is i need a new case before i upgrade graphics, but for now twin 8800's will do for now at least hehe

buy me one aswell plz.

found it £20 cheaper http://www.dabs.com/products/xfx-ati-radeon-hd-5870-865mhz-1gb-pci-express-2-0-hdmi-xt-6B3M.html

yep i have got my gigabyte 5870

but it still not in my computer do to the move to the house so

and i need a liquid blok 2 :drunken:

and the reazon i have got the 5870 and NOT the 5970 is simpel
i got a nvidea 9800 gx2 and i have blown 1 off my vrm off the 2 gpu and now i need a new gpu so
i will never buy a 2 gpu build in 1 gpu card again yust for that reazon

and if you whont it in cf m8 i realy do hope you got a beast off a cpu and psu ore your not going to be a happy chapp
remember this card has 2.15B trancistors and the 4*** series 956M

i just got Tekheads to price match dabs, http://www.tekheads.co.uk/product/XFX-ATi-Radeon-HD-5870-XT-1GB-GDDR5-PCI-E-Dual-DVI-Graphics-Card---Retail_25233.html

i sent message to them saying can you beat the price not match it, price wars is on dude,

sweeeeet

i did pay my 340 euro

I done more studying on the new & upcoming nvidia dx11 gfx card,it has 3 billion transistors on it,6 pin & 8 pin power connectors required,512 processing cores. Now bear in mind the 295gtx had a total of 480 cores,240 per gpu. 512 cores on a single gpu

(for the members/players that are asking themselves "Will i be able to play the new Battlefield Bad Company 2/DX11 games with the clan on my dx9/dx10 graphic card & with Win XP/Win Vista",The answer is yes but you will not render the DirectX content/textures etc,etc according to what card & OS you are running. Also i do think now after further studying that nvidia's DX11 card will beat their counter part ATi's DX11,so therefore i holding on for nvidia)

roflol

ok m8 nvidea is comming out whit a 3 billion trancistor card dx11
and yes probly it will beat the 5*** series off ati

BUT
the 5870 is realy good and on sale in a few mount's the card only peak's @ 188 watt and if you see some off the benchmark's in cf god damn IT OUT PERFORMS A 5970 DUAL GPU in real live game test
http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5870-review-test/
the big thing is you realy need a hell off a cpu and i mean a I7 950-965 extreme to get the full speed off the gpu more than 55-75 amps clean psu power and a good mobo

so real expensive yust 970 euro for cpu 450 mobo don't know mem and psu
thats just a sick amount off money out your own pocket

I think i`ll stick with what I have im not going to upgrade for a game I dont know if I like yet or not. May end up playing BF2v for another 4 years if BFBC2 is crap.

yeah need good PSU. but you can overclock cheap cpu example i7 920 from default 2.66 to 4ghz. i7 920 approx £210,6gb 2000mhz ram £140,mobo £175,

i oc my phenomII 940 to 4.02

if i yust had the money hmmmmmmmmmm

If you have a nvidia 8800 series or above card,there is a good use for it after upgrading to a DX11 nvidia card,you use it for dedicated Physx,you don't use the sli bridge thats only for sli config,so if you want two dx11 cards in sli & use 8800 for physx,you will need a mobo with three x16 pci-e slots capable of running at full x16_x16_x16 speeds,but now problem for x-fi pci slot required sound card,

You would have to use a "Ribbon elbow pci riser" for the sound card & maybe bolt the sound card inside the case somewhere & maybe adjust pci latency; http://ebay.b2cshop24.info/tpschc/b2bp5013.jpg So yes the "Asus P6T" would still be the best option for the build due to the bottom pci slot for sound etc,etc. giving x16_x16_x4 mode,you will only lose a few physx fps running in x4 mode.

i yust installed my 5870

first benchtest


going to test some more tings out

wet wipe plz.

Just dont blow it up this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop making us jealous!

sorry all but i need to show you this





:!:

nice scores

, sweet scores m8

Buy the best 1 there is : )

have u tryed 2 bring the clocks of ur 5870's to 1 ghz yet, i heard its very easy

yes but

the ATI consol is not conpatibel whit the amdgpu tool so if i go over 900mhz core
1300mhz mem the manual fan setting's go off and it not clocking down in 2d so the gpu getting to a 100C that is to hot
i did do a 950mhz on the core and 1305mhz

but when i have got the liquid blok's for the gpu ( in 6 weak's pfffffffff i can go for it)

...sorry but doesnt look any diff to my 8800 gtx's SLi

dont mean to burst ya bubble an all

you won't see much difference in a screenshot of BF2 being a dx9 game,put a screenshot up of a dx11 game like dirt2 then compare.... oops we only got dx10 hardware :!:

Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 5970 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express for the win f**k every other s**t card out there

pff. overpriced for the increase of speed from the 5870
