Bosco Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 We have no idea if DX11 is going to catch on. It could be just like PhysX and be a limited amount of titles who flippin knows. By the time more then one title or two titles are here, Nvidia will have countered with the 300 series cards so who the heck knows where things will be in the next 6 months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnieF4440 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Lol, was having a similar argument XD. Soz, forgot about including these, I'm gonna be running 1920x1080 using this monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824009175 and I'm doing my build end of this year/start of next. The details for the rest of my planned rig are in my intro thread here: http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...t=0&start=0 Arnie~ Edited November 6, 2009 by ArnieF4440 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keishii~89 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 If you can get ahold of one, a Vapor X will be a better choice for reasons, which have already been spewed by the other guys here. I'm Looking to preorder one in a week or two, once I've sold my 2 GTX260s. My aim for my rig is just to have hardware that's futureproof. And whether or not DX11 is going to be a hit or not, any updates to DX will be supported with driver updates on a 5XXX serires card. Unless Nvidia make GT300 a higly efficient architecture like the 5xxx uses, I'm not interested. +1 5870 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keishii~89 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) With the way things have been going I wouldn't be shocked it that did happen I had the same skepticism about DX10 that alot of people had. DX11 just seems right. I mean, We haven't seen something THIS good since DX9 hit. and look at how successful it's been. I think It's a Intel style tick-tock. DX12 will suck. it'll be like a DX11.489784735634654.......564339. IvI > I'm just about to pack my GTX 260 to RMA it back to Scan, once that goes through, I'll preorder that Vapor X 5870.

ArnieF4440 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 cool, thanks for your opinions guys. BTW, I was thinking of later (when i have more money) getting another 5870, crossfiring it, and maybe having an nvidia card for physX (or at least thats how i heard people do it). thats gonna be my next project, lol Arnie~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
