Introduction:
ATI is shaped and informed by launching two new graphics cards support DirectX 11: the Radeon HD 5770 and HD 5750 both sold below 150 euros. Here we will see how is 5770.
Difficult to stop ATI right now since in the space of three weeks, a subsidiary of AMD graphics releases at least four new graphics cards compatible with the latest API from Microsoft DirectX 11. After Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon 5850 HD launched on September 23, it was around the 5700 series out of cardboard with two models: the Radeon HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5750. As we have already explained in our previous articles, this "willingness" is guided by the release of Windows 7 scheduled Oct. 22 and is the original operating system is compatible with DirectX 11. Note however that Windows Vista will be updated to support DirectX 11 as well.
The stakes are high as always release a new version of DirectX, which coincides here, as DirectX 10 with Vista coincided with the release of a new operating system Windows 7 somewhat expected as messiah who will heal the wounds of those who had to undergo cumbersome and Vista even if it is to recognize certain qualities. The industry expects "7" with great hope, too, to boost sales not always rosy, a year after the financial crisis that has hit the world.
The issue is more marketing than technology for ATI because currently only offers Battleforge a patch making the game compatible with DirectX 11. We shall return to in detail on this game and the behavior of graphics cards in a future article, not having had time to do it for this case. He will have to await the end of the year 2010 and especially to see land a dozen new titles taking advantage of DirectX 11. But a business perspective, you can output a first DirectX 11 chip has a certain impact to mark the spirits while competitor Nvidia is still not ready with its DX11 GPUs.
So what makes ATI to accelerate the release of its GPU, just to drive the point home, although the production does not follow the same frantic pace that ads on red. Indeed, the cards are rare in shops and other online sites and prices are rising, lack of adequate supply relative to demand. The 5870 is available in limited quantities and only beginning to reach 5850.
The same problems seem to appear for the 5770 and 5750 because for our test, AMD has not been able to provide us with a 5770 or a 5750, its stock is poor and restricted to the clipboard first, followed by sites Internet according to their order of importance in small papers from ATI.
