Okay. I'm almost decided with my build, unfortunately, my old p4 is showing signs of retirement. I actually have a few questions: Initially I'm thinking of buying HD 4650, but then I thought of getting Windows 7 because of this I'm leaning toward buying ATI either 5770 or 5850. I have 24" monitor and I want to play Full HD content 1080p.
My Questions are:
1) Windows 7 supports directx 11, is there any benefits of getting a card that supports that? Is there an added benefit in terms of Windows 7 new GUI features?
2) I'm thinking of just buying the cheapest 5000 series and buy ps3 for the blu-ray player and playing games. Though I will probably just use the ps3 mainly for movies. Do I just stick with a good GPU?
3) I'm too keen with graphic details. I've seen the Unigine Heaven benchmark and I've seen the difference between using a non DX11 compliant and a DX11 compliant. And It really amaze me. If I buy the 5770 will there be a big difference in terms of image quality vs the higher 5000 series.
Appreciate you help and Thanks in Advance.
