The only game which we have problems with DirectX 11 is Metro 2033. But it's not like you cant run this game with 50-100 frames per second on dx10 with 5870.
Except one or two eye-candy things, the image quality is clearly the same when you are playing the game.

If you think that you've obviously never played on dx11 well. And the 400 series aren't just better in 2033, its [i]EVERY[/i] DX11 Game/application out there.
I just said about the only game (nowadays) where Radeon 5000 series seemed to have difficulties on dx11 to be playable. I'm not going to buy 470/480 if I can run Dirt 2/AVP3/Battleforge/etc... very well too on an 5870.

Your only mentioning the 5870, why pay 500$ when the 470 plays all dx11 games as well as or better than the 5870, and plays other games better than the 5850.
This thread isn't is the 5870 worth it, its [i]GTX 470 is it worth buying?[/i].
Also with Whql 257 coming out the 5850 and 5870 will only be that much more blown away, with the 400 series getting a 20+% performance increase... from a DRIVER UPDATE.

Don't jump too fast on conclusions, bro.
it's just only synthetics tests

It leaked... I'm not jumping.

Ah! I see what you did there.
So I could get physX if I had say a 5770, and an onboard 8200?

No Nvidia makes it a pain and tries to block this like crazy. and an 8200 would get murdered by PhysX anyway.
You need a special driver (or "mod") to use the Nvidia card as "PhysX card".
But yeah, your old card would be killed by this technology as said above me.
well atleast they have physx :smug:

And that was the 257.15 beta, not even a real driver.
