Hardware Description
Ati has beat Nvidia to the punch in releasing the first series of video cards with DirectX 11 support. The Radeon HD 5870 is one of those cards. The new Radeon HD 5000 series is not only the first to bring DirectX 11 support, it will also provide around twice the performance of previous generation Radeon cards with a single GPU.

The HD 5870 performance is relatively similar to that of the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and actually quite a lot better in certain games. At its time of release the Radeon HD 5870 is the fastest single GPU video card available, the only video card with DirectX 11 support and a real good value with a MSRP of only $380.
