Im with ya on that one too , only dx11 game i play is alien vs predator and dirt2. I want power i dont really care for little eye candy u cant even notice.

and as i stated before iv used a 5770 on my mates machine with an e8500 and i didnt find it impressive , even tho it played games better than my 9800gt it just wasnt THAT much better.

If i was getting 40fps in crysis warhead with my 9800gt on gamer settings , what would the 275 be capable of ? doube that ?

If you are playing Dirt 2 you are getting the 5770 period. You be stuck in DX9 if you go for a non-DX11 card in Dirt 2.
And yes the 5770 should be able to play DX11 games, the whole point of DX11 is to render games more efficiently with slightly better quality than DX10.
Alien vs Predator should play just fine also.
If you really worry the 5770 can't perform well enough, these little cards overclocks like beasts. <= As long as you buy a reference card or a card with similar components you get software voltage control for OCing.

ok you have a valid point but the gtx275 wins hands down in performance and whats to say you cant overclock that close to a 280 ? and thats what im after , as i said when dx11 is a must have i will upgrade then bcos by then the 5770 wouldn't have enough grunt anyway . Its not all that important to me , i want high frame rates @ high res dx10 is fine.

Oh and an i7 but that aint happening =(

enough of the dx11 , its not worth the performance decrease for the same $$ just for "dx11" when all current games run in dx10 just fine and look great.

I mainly play crysis , dirt 2 played fine on my 9800gt maxed out lol

I personally would take the 275...and I'm an ATI guy. Out easily outperforms a 5770 if gaming is ur only concern..

HD 5770 is better choice. It secures you to play DX11 games later on.

If you have bother reading, the 9800GT play fine because it is forced to run in DirectX 9 in Dirt 2. :slap:

This game have no DirectX 10 support.

try 5770 ....or wait for 3 months for a fermi gts 450 /440/430

Yup, and if the 5830 isn't so overpriced right now I would have say go with that.
That way he would have get both DX11 and perfromance.

Very , very good point here... :toast:

Cool gtx260 is out of the question then , mate of mine has a gigabyte 5770 , do brands differ with performance ? cos to be quite honest its paired with an e8500 and to me it isnt that impressive , doesnt even run crysis on enthusiast @1650x with playable framerates :s it stutters alot n shit but that might be a driver issue or a hotfix for crysis im not too sure.

I want the experts advise.

Ask your friend with the 5770 to run the games in DX9 or Dx10 like the card you have now (same settings & same DX that you're using) & it should be a bit more impressive...

you guys are right about that !

I agree with sticking with the ati 5xxx series for this gen. It outperforms the nvidia 250's 60's and 70's with ease. My 1 5850 demolishes my gts 250 sli set up I had 4 months ago.

Off topic: I just looked at xristo's avatar not the name while reading these posts. I thought he was overclocking101 so i got really confused why he asked where the thanks button was lol. All is well though as it's 2 people w/ the same avatar. Thanks for thanks buttons!

Well the little brother of the 5850 is now the 5830

The only problem about the 5830 right now is price, I will say it is wise to wait for a bit longer.
