buy a GTX 280 or wait for DX11 card ?

[jemmy_skywalker]

hey man, i got more issue
" Ati HD4870X2 temperature is just like HELL "
Oh my Gosh...

confuse so much

 

[L1qu1d]

yes the 4870 X2 temps are outrageous but honestly turning up the fan a little bit makes enough of a difference, the 4870 X2 in my secondary stays around 72 with the fan around 75-80% it doesn't really affect the rest of the components in that compute.r

From what I have heard, current DirectX 10.1 hardware will fully support DX version 11.

Is this true? not sure, but.....I have been wrong once.

DX11 is backwards to 10.1, but you won't have the 11 eye candy with the 10.1.

You will only have visuals going up to 10.1 with a 10.1 card. So its like Crysis with dx 9 cards, they can still play crysis just only in dx 9 and not 10

If that was your question then thats the answer, if that wasn't ur quesiton then what????😛

With your processor the 4850 will hit the spot. They are very cheap and should last you at least 6-8 months and play just about anything with good settings. By that time the money you saved up can go towards going all out with the latest and greatest DX11 card.

what about the motherboard ??
can you give me references ??
i want motherboard with DDR3 but the price is unbelievable
and what manufacturer you choose the best ?
gigabyte, asus or msi ?
if i use Ati HD.. so i have to pick the intel chipset right ?
what is the newest chipset of intel ?

Waiting for dx11 is silly. We still haven't really harnessed dx10. yet. The first iteration of dx11 cards will be too slow for dx11 games anyway.

Although 1950xtx isn't a bad card it's slow by today's standards. I would skip the 280gtx. Go with 4870 or 260gtx and save the money. Your processor is fine. overclock. You can easily get 3.2ghz out of your processor.

They're all the same.

 

[jemmy_skywalker]

need motherboard Help pleasee.....

[jemmy_skywalker]

or maybe i should stay with DDR2 ??
the price of 4gb DDR3 .. give me 8gb of DDR2 ram..
waakaka

All those manufacturers buy the chip from ATI/Nvidia. They don't actually do the "manufacturing." 😛

Stay with ddr2. Price gap is too big, for almost no real world performance difference.

LOL...
yes.. You're Right
haahah..

what i like from Forum is the answer is the FACT
not like in a magazine..
in a magazine.. there is no bad product
haahahah..
same chipset... but different price.. oh my Gosh..
compare the price of Gecube and HIS .... HIS is more expensive..
that make people mindset think that HIS is far more better than GEcube..

Have you looked up Gecube's graphics chip? It's a toy compared to any half decent PC graphics card. 😛

 

[jemmy_skywalker]

what do you mean ??
very poor graphic card ?
so.. which one i have to choose HIS or Saphire ?
some of my friend say that His is better... and otherwise
hihihih

Whatever is cheaper. And kids always say their toy is better than yours. 😀

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

Glad you could contribute to our productive conversation. Any more valuable insights?

i bought the original nvidia gpu. i think it was the early 90's, and quickly got tired of trying to keep up with tech. dx10.1 will last for awhile.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

wait a second... i dont get it
LOL
you told me to wait ..but... get a BFG 280 ? and just upgrade in 100 days ?
sori2 i am really don't get it
is it just a jokes ?
hihihihihi
sori2..

I don't think l1qu1d was joking...

Some manufacturers offer an upgrade program, like Evga and BFG. If you buy a grafics card of their brand, you get the opportunity to upgrade it within a certain period (judging from the response it's 100 days with BFG; with evga it's 90 days); if you decide to upgrade within the given period, you get the entire cost of the original card discount on the new one.
So if you know there are new cards coming out, but they're not available yet, you can buy a high end graficscard, then when the new one is out, you get the entire sum you paid for it discount on the then most recent card.

I don't know the releasedates of the future cards, but the waiting period would be so that they are released within the 100 days from when you buy the original card.

I don't know if this kind of program exists with manufacturers that sell cards with ATI chipsets; but it is worth looking into.

get dx11 because it will support dx10 games but with MUCH better preformance. and than a year later you get dx11 games. i dont know about you but im so going for dx11 cards!
