Ati 5870 ------ Spec for enthusiast

We know that the current fastest graphic card for desktop computer is Nvidia Geforce GTX 295, up until now, Nvidia main rival, AMD-ATi company has not had a card to compete against it.

we know that if windows vista fully incorporate directx 10 technology for graphic display, windows 7 hold a promising future on better directx 11 technology , which up till now no graphic card specially built on it.

we know that although some graphic card can support dual monitor display to give extra viewing experience, there is no graphic card that can support up from 2 monitor display, together.

Ati's launched of Radeon HD 5870, however, break through the 3 facts.
with speed compare to gtx 295, this firstly directx 11 graphic card can drive up to 6 lcd monitor together.... which look like this...



thats mean, you can stick 6 inexpensive 23 inch monitor together and have a far better view than any 30 " monitor, only problem is the thickness of bezel....

Damn, so gonna built the monster if i gt the bucks...

Good news, i have an ac.uk email account and would be eligible to buy the software at just 30 pound.

Question , as i already have a legitimate windows xp copy, whats the point of spending 30 pounds more? for a fancier interface? mayb....

waiting 4 i5....

To be honest, there is no way a laptop can match the processing power of a gaming desktop. Even if you can do that, it often come with a cost of spending more bucks on a huge size laptop. ( which lost the point of easily carrying it around )

So , after long suffering the reduced quality when playing games using my Dell Inspiron 6400, i decided to go for a desktop when back to Uk.

my plan set :
processor : intel i5 720 2.66ghz， (can overclock to 3.2ghz)
Ram : 4gb DDr3
Hdd : 500 GB
GPU : Ati radeon 4870 1GB
monitor : 23" acer x233 Hbd
cost : 800 gbp.

it wont be the best, but it sure give decent gaming experience and flexible update option over the next 3 year.

My dream Set however would be....
processor : intel i7 975 extreme...
Ram : 12 Gb DDr3 1600
Hdd : 2 TB
GPU : 4 x Nvidia GTX 295 1792 mb
monitor : any 30" ++
cost : >>> 7000 GBP....

just a dream. probably wait until 40 + only can afford these monster....

btw i gt a new blog for serious chinese essay. check it out...
