With Windows 7, DirectX 11 has arrived anyway but now, we have some cool graphics cards to support it too- with ATi's brand new 5-series GPUs!
These come with full DX11 support, and OpenGL 3.2.
Currently, the lowest end card, is the 5750,coming with 720 stream processors and 725 MHz core clock.Quiet good.
Next, comes the ATi 5770, a card that sounds[take note:sounds]awesome.It comes with 800 stream processors and 850 MHz clock, similar to the 4890.Ideal if you want to experience DX11 with good performance, but are on a budget.The problem with this card is-its bottlenecked by its 128-bit bandwidth.This makes it worse than even a 4870.Not a great performer for extreme gamers.
Then the 5850 comes, with a strange 1440 stream processors[thanks to being chopped out from the next card] and 725 MHz clock.Yet,it performs really well, probably faster than a GTX 285.Really recommendable card.
The awesome 5870 comes next, boasting of 1600 stream processors and a 850 MHz clock!Similar to the 4870 X2, but at least you can save on the power aspect![4870 X2-680W, 5870-500W!]
More recently though, a new addition has come into this family, the all mighty 5970!!!
This crazy card has nothing less than 3200 stream processors! Time being, its one of the most powerful cards around......needless to say!
