Protecting as in actively watching the house?

A bit dissapointed, I expected more domination, as the marketing guys claimed BIG improvements even with current games. Okay drivers need to mature, but the 5870 at the moment is NOT as good as it was advertised (a GTX 295 smasher). I hope the 5850 can live up to the hype they created...

I really hope for ATI them DX11 games are worth it...

i think the same way leeghoofd.
it will be funny to see the kid's cry when they find out that it only get's the GTX295 in with 3/10 of some game's.

Well the only DX11 game ( battleforge ) shows big speed increase going from DX10.1 to 11... so hopefully all new games will run way faster with higher detail then the current generation... wait till the drivers settle to get these...

For a game that AMD is putting a lot of marketing energy in to, it’s not a game that they’re doing well at. Here we see the 5870 lose to the 4870 X2 by a small degree, and the GTX 295 by a large degree. Even the GTX 285 isn’t too far behind, with the 5870 only outperforming it by 20%.

Well, I admit I am referring to the driver problems pre-AMD acquisition of ATI, but many games were known to crash, or get corrupted on ATI cards.

Quality of the games became with time less pleasant to the eye as well (filters not working completely like the nVidia ones, giving sometimes weird artifacts or felt weird/uncomfortable).

I guess the latest games will be the least troubled ones (F.E.A.R. 2, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Age of Empires III, Half Life 2 and 1, Red Faction Guerilla).

But my MMORPGs will probably suffer alot. I play atm following MMORPGs: Anarchy Online, Atlantica Online, Steam Online and might have missed one...

Like I said, good h/w is nice, but if the s/w fails, the h/w fails. But as my whole home is nVidia only, I can't see with my own eyes if AMD has gotten the Catalyst drivers to the Forceware levels (or better).
