Just letting you know if you haven't got a new GPU yet we have:

  • New 6870 *7% slower than 5870 due to reshuffle but more efficient especially at tessellation.
  • New 6950/70 coming in November
  • New 6990 (dual chip) coming in December
  • Rumours of GF110 refresh for GF100 any time.

 


Do you suggest I wait for one of the new ones?

Absolutely.

P.S. ATI has a new AA technology, MLAA. You may have heard it talked about in such places as the Sony forum. Anyway it enables near free AA especially in games when you have no AA option.

Wow that's amazing.

I'm definately gonna get the 6950 or 6970 then.

Its great especially for games which don't have an AA option. Just slap on some MLAA and you're laughing. Apparantly the 69xx series has some interesting tessellation optimisations.

@ Zen: The HD 6870 is a better buy than the GTX 470, cheaper and as fast whilst using way less power.


Are they brand new on the market or what?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
