Well as I said, it's not bad but not amazing either. I like to be safe, and have a margin of approx 50-100W higher PSU over what I need. If you're sticking with the PSU, I'd go for a 5670. Very tolerant on power supplies, gives decent performance (about the same as the Nvidia options). All round, not bad at all.

nvidia really doesn't hav an answer to the 5670 thats dx11 compatable

they have a hole
gurrently it goes

5550 (ddr3)< 430< 5550(ddr5) < 5570 < 5650 < <5670 < 5750 <450<5770

ther price gets close in there but there's definatly a price gap to fill between the 430 and the 450 dx11 market that nvidia has nothign to offer in ... one might however argue they don't want to spend the resources on goign after this market as its the 100 even mark with the 430 falling in the 75ish and the 450 falling into the 125ish

point being if he wants dx11 in the price range of 100 bucks nvidia isn't for him :D 

and the 9800 does compete with the 5670 but i'd take the 5670 due to it being mroe energy efficient and edging it out in performance, the dx11 is just an added bonus

the 1 gig vs 512 meg the 1 gig will preform a tiny bit better in a handful of title usually ones with larger draw distances... however in general you will not see a difference so unless its the same price or within 5 bucks of the 512 meg i wouldn't go for the 1 gig

"I AM ASKING THAT WILL DIRECTX11 RUN FINE ON 1024 X 768 WITH HIGH IN DIRT 2? "

yes but you don't have to yell >_<

8800gt or 9800 gt was great in thier day, but now they are a bit obselete and they don't even support the latest vertion of directX (dx11) also the 5670 would run much mroe efficiently

At the resolution the op is at, his current card is probably great. DX11 only comes into play if the game supports dx11 correct. The op might be better off going to a 64 bit OS and getting a ram upgrade.

no,but i want directx11 to be in my pc,because its future and having it will save my money.so that i wont have to spend next year,and then when windows 8 will be coming out in 2012,i will buy another same standard gpu with directx12,so the game here is just that i want to run games in directx11,the ones who support it.and then 1 more thing is that i am not looking for an upgrade,i just want to buy the same standard gpu like my hd 3870 and i think hd 5670 gddr5 is that card.what you all say?

Best solution

Honestly dude, I would almost consider staying where you are. How many games are really going to be coded for DX11? A lot of the developers finally just got dx10 down I think.

but some upcoming games including dirt 3,crysis 2, far cry 3,smackdown vs raw 2011 will be directx11,so i want to do that,and most of all i have resolution of 1024 x 768,so i think hd 5670 will be my best bet,what you say?

hd 5670 is very fast when compared to 8800gt 512,my friend has one and he also had 8800gt,he got 55 fps with ultra high on 1280 x 1024 in directx9.
where as his XFX Hd 5670 gave him 62 fps with ultra high and aa.and 25 to 32 in directx11.

8800/9800gt has 16 rops/56tmu/112 sp/256bit. gt 240 has 8 rops/32 tmu/96 sp/128bit, 5670 has 8 rops/20tmu/400stream(80sp).

8800/9800gt: 9.6 giga-pixel 33.6 giga-texel 57.6~64gb/s
gt 240: 4.4 giga-pixel 17.6 giga-texel 28.8~54.4gb/s
5670: 6.2 giga-pixel 15.5 giga-texel 57.6gb/s

whoever recommend 5670 is just ignorant of these hardware spec...

if you want to get card, get 5750 or above because under that line mostly are garbage.

btw? who ever cares about dx11 will get 68xx or gtx 460 or above and people who pick sub $100 line mostly dont give jack$hit about dx 11. and 5670 cant even put on the table when comes true dx 11. please stop this amd fanboi you embarrass your self!

^^ talk about clueless

he's not looking for theoredical number crunching he's looking for reall life gaming performance .. sure if he was buyign them to make a gpu cluster the 8800/9800 would be the way to go...

but he's looking for game performance and fps where the 5670 is superior :D 

and people who are concerned with dx11... idk.. people who liek playing video games and not just crunching numbers?

tell me this....can you play dx 11 on 5670 with "reasonable" setting with "acceptable" frame rate? now dx 11's bottom line is 68xx and 460 and anything below it will be handicap by the hardware spec. not even 5750 can handle dx 11 what makes you think 5670 can take the advantage? again that is just be fanboism that's all.

then i should get 8800gt,it is available in 75$ here.i just want a gpu that can push everygame to high at 1024 x 768.


8800gt and 9800gt will be much nicer choice over 5670 unless you have power supply issue otherwise go for it. if you want dx 11 then you'd have to get 5770 or above to run dx 11 game in minimum setting. 5670 is just like 8400gs in old day with also feature dx10 but the performance was a joke...

how is anything i've said fanboyism? i prefer nvidia cards myself, and i play dx11 games just fine on my gts 450 , wow and sc2 in ultra, dirt 2 looks great in dx11 on my system as well. the 5670 may not play all titles in dx11 great at high resolutions... btu new flash the OP is NOT USING HIGH RESOLUTION

"DO DX11 FINE ON 1024 X 768,WITH MEDIUM TO HIGH SETTINGS"

he's not even looking for max settings just dx11m, and medium-high settings at a low res... the 5670 can do that. we are answering based on his budget and wat is available. is nvidia had a dx11 card that could do this in his price range we could talk abotu that... btu guess what there is not one the 440 is an oem only option so until it makes a market debut (which it probably never will) then his onyl good option is(and his question) was between 2 lower performing non dx11 cards (8800GT OR 9800GT) and a better performing dx11 card (5670)

I love how peopel call fanboyism even not understanding anything

since ya added so will i

*add* shwo us some benchmakrs of a 8800 or 9800gt beating a 5670 at 1024 X 768

everythign i find shows 5670 > 9800/8800gt
Graphics card Authority

5670 can run dx11 just fine at low resolutions liek yours 1024 X 768, you just can't do it at resolutions much higher than that. ie if you upgraded your monitor you woudl have to lower settings farther... btu you'd still out perform the 8800gt

mrjericho1991 said:
take out 9800,i dont wanna buy that when i can buy 8800gt,now thread is between 8800gt and hd 5670.but why hd 5670 cannot run dx11,while its called dx11 for $100.


it support dx11 doesn't mean it can actually run dx 11 in medium/high setting with acceptable frame rate even at resolution like 1024x768 or 800x600.

again if you want dx 11 go for 5770/gts450 or else stick with 8800gt and dont even think about dx 11. 5670 is just a low end garbage card just like 8600gt when it came out to be "dx10 certified" but real time performance proved to be a joke. 5670 just like that.

gts450 and 5670 aint in the same level card. and starcraft/dirt2 aint native dx11 game.

5670 512mb can only run dx11 mode under 800x600 with "everything" disable and all setting "lowest" with frame rate of 5fps.....not even mighty gtx 480 can run over 60fps when everything enable and highest setting under 1024x768 what makes you think 5670 can do any good? trolled goods

can you back this up? because you are the one that have no idea wtf you're talking about.

more rop/tmu = faster frame rate.

higher resolution = ram size

this has nothing to do with "5670 >8800gt". you're compare a 1gb 5670 against 8800gt 512mb and called it a win? wow
Graphics card Authority

^ i'd definatly agree that the 450 owuld be a much better choice as would a 5770 or even a 5750 if he had the cash for em, but i hav eseen 5670 do smooth play in dx11 dirt 2 (my brother in law bought a 5670 i tried to talk him into a 5770 or a 450 but my sister/his wife wouldn't let him spend the extra dough >_< ) i should note he does play in 1280x720 its a decent card for low res but once you go bigger its a slouch.

also agreed on the 8600 .. i had a 8500gt in college because its all i could afford and has to lower evey game including WoW to 800x600

you were saying that its like 8600gt,but when we see benchmarks it gives upto 30 fps.at 1280 x 1024,but i am looking at 1024 x 768,high,2xaa and then play to expect 35fps or above,isnt it meant by that.not ultra high.

no,think they need to release it immediately,not only me but there are many guys at toms hardware and at other sites,who are just looking for playable budget dx11 gpu,that should be gt 440 or gt 550 something,but they need to do it quick,how ever ati has it.
Graphics card Authority

440 would be a good release and garner alot of sales for nvidia no idea why they don't release it, however perhaps with the new 5 series with any luck the'll release a 540 . but with the new cards coming in i suspect the 450's should drop a bit .. mine was onlt $120 btu got it on a black friday sale
