Dirt 2 Retail Game DX11 Gameplay - ATI 5870 Tri-Crossfire

[BLinDaTbESt]

About how much did your entire setup cost?

[GutiProducer]

i have a 8800gts 640 stock and the game looks EXACTLY the same.

You spent like 5 thousand dollars in that crap for nothing, you should have spend it in a REAL CAR.

[mikejones2003m]

i wonder what this game is gona look like when i get my area 51 tommorw

[MrNagrev]

OMG 1200 kWATS PU !!!!

[limpei1]

dont look much different from a dx10 medium settings

[drewitt8]

@limpei1 For sure it does, just gotta see the real thing, not a video

Next challenge:

5970 Tri-Crossfire

[Wookie1234567]

@Lakozte lol. I hope that you're being sarcastic/joking.

[Lakozte]

@Wookie1234567

I'm afraid I'm not.

I've seen a 19,000 $ computer with a quad SLi-setup of four 480 GTX's, and I don't think a CrossfireX'd 5970 could beat that(correct me if I'm wrong).

[Wookie1234567]

@Lakozte Yeah, but tri-fire isn't possible with 5970's. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or not with that comment before because sarcasm is a little hard to pick up over the internet ;), But yeah, Quad-SLi 480's is king at the moment.

[Lakozte]

@Wookie1234567

Well, in that computer I talked about, they had fuckin' xbox 360 in it.

So I guess, if you can modify the chassi and get a hella' awesome PSU it would be possible?

[Wookie1234567]

@Lakozte Hardware limitations, two 5970's is quad-fire, so you could have 1 and a half for it to be trifire or you could just add another 5850/70 in and then it's technically tri-fire. 4 GPU's is the limitation of technology at the moment.

[drewitt8]

@Wookie1234567 not like you need anymore, asking for any crossfire or sli build to work perfect is scary, just not enough multi-gpu support to really take advantage of all that power

[Wookie1234567]

@drewitt8 Mmm, totally agree, anything over 60FPS is actually redundant as the human eye cannot detect anything moving faster then that. Power is no issue, one could chose to use multiple power supplies (well, as long as that ones house/power source allows) to power cards/CPU/MoBo.

[drewitt8]

@Wookie1234567 Lol. power supplies is not what i was talking about 'power' meaning processing power. 4 cards does not scale well in alot of games, so its a waste in alot of applications. One PSU thats setup for X-fire or SLI is enough, assumeing ur wattage is high enough for the cards.

[drewitt8]

@Wookie1234567 And also, i deny your 60fps plee. Anything over 60fps is redundant on a 60hz display, as the extra frames are never seen, but one a 120hz display, the max you will see is 120fps, this being due to hz(1 unit/ 1 second) or ie 120 'refresh' per second, or the same concept as 120 fps, each flicker being one image, which clearly people can see the difference between 60hz motion and 120hz motion.

[Wookie1234567]

@drewitt8 1st comment: The reason cards don't scale so well in 4 way crossfire/sli is because it's just got to much memory. That's why in some (or most, even) tri-sli beats Quad. Not in synthetic benchmarks, however.

2nd comment: True about the 120Hz display, I was Mal-informed of the eye information, I trolled around the internet for a while and found that the human eye can detect things up to 200FPS but there wouldn't be that much difference in game play/smoothness that would be noticeable.

[Stealyourcrap]

Oh how i wish i had a fraction of how good ur pc is

[Stealyourcrap]

Oh how i wish i had a pc like yours..

[Slashgordan]

I AM SORRY TO ASK (if sounds silly) but how do you use 3 graphic cards on one motherboard ? which card is connected to the monitor ?

[ThetheXyu]

[Davvex21]

Hi.

i have an acer m5300

power resuply 500w

and

AMD phenom II X3 720

can i use this graphics card

please answer. but just one

[dikajennifer]

@Davvex21

ofcourse u can..

[Davvex21]

@dikajennifer thanks

[Jamiepoop123]

@Davvex21 yes u can

[shekjer87]

same to me with 1 graphics or 3x , really. the real human eye cannot split the defference of those details. Just like when you buy phone with 65K color screen and 256K color screen. - there is no diference! - BY THE WAY, AWESOME CONFIGURATION, I WISH I HAD THAT ONE ;)

[limpei1]

i dont know if it exists but if quad crossfire its gona last for 10 years but sure it will make the whole room full of smoke

[DragonAge1103]

wish i was more into racing games this looks amazing! Best lighting system i have seen hands down.

[AaronConnorM]

dirt 2 is one shiny sexy ass stylized mother fucking racing game!

[vybzshakur]

leme ask something so how much better can the graphics look from just buying one of them...will it still sometime or something? or over heat?

[SMRDcompany]

@vybzshakur Well a Radeon 5870 supports DirectX 11 so there is small difference in graphics. But the only game out now to support DX11 is DiRT 2 and it's experimental. From what I've seen, and I've seen a lot (I own the game :) ) DX9 vs DX11 is stupid, the game looks the same, well if you want to nitpick water detail is a little nicer, but that's all. And once enhanced DX11 come out it will be made for future GPU's and 5870 will be left in the dust imho. So I don't know, it's your choice :)

[lmcgregoruk]

@SMRDcompany

Actually S.T.A.L.K.E.R:Call of pripyat and BattleForge both support DX11

[SMRDcompany]

@lmcgregoruk Really? I didn't know that :) Ah well :) but still I'm behind all I said :)))

[luv2increase]

With a single 5870, I cannot run DX11 with 24xMSAA/16xAF with the Ultra preset and vsinc. With 2 of them, I can. However, I recently applied a Dirt 2 mod which gives me higher options for shadows, trees, objects, refections and a couple others which makes it impossible for 5870 in CF to run at the CCC setings I like. In this case, I "need" 5870s in Tri-Fire. And I will be 100% honest with you; it is the most likelike, realistic gaming experience I've ever experienced, period. :)

[EuphoricDuffer]

@luv2increase I can run everything maxed out at 1920x1080...

[paultje162]

CPU Cooler??

[luv2increase]

Prolimatech Megahalem

[tsunami901]

That's one BADASS PC!!!

[luv2increase]

Thanks a lot!

[palm007gtr]

my Godddd!!!!!

[ArtemyMSK]

Sorry, but i can't see any critical difference btw. DX10/DX11 in that game. Water, dust and other cars are the same...

(sorry 4 my language :)

[luv2increase]

@ArtemyMSK

Water, Cloth, Crowd, Post Processing (SDAO ambient occlusion & full DX11 lighting) are the DX11 effects of this game.

The only ones I find nice are the Cloth and ambient occlusion along with the lighting. It truly makes the game that much better. You have to experience it for yourself. It does add quite a bit of realism to the game.

I believe the tessllation of the crowd and water are jokes. I can't make any discernible differences between DX9 and DX11 for those features.

[KapteinFruit]

I agree with luv2increase on that one.

[toasterboy19]

I can see ati is having some graphics problems...

[luv2increase]

Actually, no. The game does not do Tri-Fire good right now but CF is superb.

With the following settings, I get 91fps average:

24xAA (edge-detect)

16xAF

Highest Mipmap Detail

Supersampling

Ultra Preset in-game settings

That is the maximum possible settings that this game can possibly be played. When I enable vsinc, I get 60.3fps average when my HDTV is set to 60hz :)

Problems? LoL What are you smoking on? I don't think I want any of that ROFL

[luv2increase]

#1 - It is the computer driving.

#2 - I'd like you to come to the EVGA forums and say such a thing LoL

Don't be an immature troll. If you want respect, act like an adult and you will get it :)

[FunnyMcBunny]

Looks good, but the quality on the video is kinda bad... :S

(Even on 1080p.)

[luv2increase]

I know. I'm trying to fix that. Pinnacle studio 14 doesn't render anything good besides .wmv format. Then youtube has to convert that to mp4. If I directly encode the video to mp4 from pinnacle studio, the quality is not as good and the file size is twice as large :(

[FunnyMcBunny]

Get Sony Vegas 8 or 9. ^^
