The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

Regarding the question about this gen cards being enough "until something big changes", I think that videoconsoles are what limit that aspect more:

there are practically no PC exclusive games aside online multiplayer (because of their little profitability)... Chances are that there's not going to be any substantial changes until the next videoconsoles generation is released.

False and false.

Not to be rude but consoles aren't that important -- this is going to be a great year for PC gaming. Dx 11 and all the new titles set to release have me very excited!!!

What are the consoles using... dx9 still? blah... consoles are really showing their age these days. Don't get me wrong if they could get a technology bump I'd game with them. Until then I'll get that 5870 so I can be ready for L4D2, Diablo 3, Fallen earth, Starcraft 2, Dawn Of War 2, Empire: Total War, Demigod, new COH expansion, BF3?, Half-Life 2: Episode Three?, Mass Effect 2,etc...

but the console have "The Beatles: Rock Band" i guess i'll pick that up too... meh
