One question. i currently have my loop running like this.

5770s

 

[PP Mguire]

Im just trying to decide whether the performance difference is worth it between my 8800s because i get real good performance with them.

Is Masseffect 2 DX10.1?

 

[eidairaman1]

well apparently 10.1 is making an impact now due to NVs 240 series being DX 10.1? Which makes me wonder if the 250Series is DX 10.1?

 

[PP Mguire]

The 240s came out after the 250s. If Masseffect has 10.1 support ill just ditch the 8800s and go 5770s.

Well I'd say a single 5770 was about 50% more powerful then a 8800gts, so could well be you'll get a lot more performance.

What sort of games you play most often and are they maxed out and playable?

If they are now then maybe no need to upgrade just yet.


I say get a single 5850 to replace those two 8800gts's should be a bit cheaper then two 5770s and similar performance due to single card vs crossfire not being 100% efficient.

 

[PP Mguire]

Well i was planning on buying a single 5770 now, selling 8800, buying second 5770 later, selling second 8800 to make up for the cost.

I play mostly anything but right now its gonna be Masseffect 2, possibly Bioshock2, Dirt2 ill be getting, and Assassins Creed 2 when its released for PC. Mainly anything DX11 i can get ahold of besides avp ill prolly be playing.

Unreal Engine 3 is DX9

 

[Thrackan]

Finally! Getting my hands on a Lian-Li PCA05N Black on Saturday! Been looking for this case for a while now...

DirectX 10

DirectX 10

Wow, since when? Maybe i got confused? Is UT3 DX10?

As far as I know UT3 itself is DX10 too... Might have to look it up though.

 

[YinYang.ERROR]

You are both right:

The latest release is the Unreal Engine 3, which is designed around Microsoft's DirectX 9 technology for 32/64-bit Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Xbox 360 platforms, DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 for 32/64-bit Windows Vista/Windows 7, and OpenGL for 32/64-bit Linux, Mac OS X and PlayStation 3.

Makes sense that it's based on DX9 for XP... Xp has no official DX10 functionality.

 

[PP Mguire]

Whoa whoa, it says DX11?

Do it Cory, you won't be disappointed. I'm pretty much in love with the 5770 and I do plan to get a second and water cool it along with my currently h20'ed 5770. It's a great little card. It's just too bad they cost $150-$170

They are fairly new and future proof. I don't think they are priced bad at all. But in a bit they will drop in price, you know how that is.

yup because the hardware in the PS3/XB360 are just DX9.
