Fair enough. But more shaders will also help you in DX9 titles :-)

Blizzard isn't really known for gearing game toward high end hardwares.

Yea they are geared more to high end addiction and money sucking

It's funny how people label developers based on one single game.

They make more than one subscription based game ......................

And in any event one game of that magnitude is all that is needed .

Bring on lots of shaders and high clock on the core.

dx11...

all i can say is i am really happy that dx10 games play nicely with dx11 cards and visa versa

mrpiccolod · 26th June 2009, 2:04 AM

Its so close its making me rethink buying a second 4890 to CF now. Actually i think I will wait, its not like there are any games coming out in the next three months that I need an upgrade for anyways

You might as well wait, or even wait and pickup a cheap 4890

But see what these 5-series cards have to offer, i know i am

That would be nice.

Similar to what ATI did with the 4-series of cards, they worked on smaller, less complex GPU's which they will use a similar strategy with the 5-series of cards...so they should be able to be quite flexible with the pricing if/when nvidia release their refresh and their DX11 cards.

I've read some articles that some games are in development and want to be launched this year. But i guess time will tell...

EDIT: I'd be surprised if a lot of DX10 games don't get patches for DX11 support as the two DX versions are quite similar in a lot of cases.
