AMD Radeon HD 5870 Adds DX11, Multi-Monitor Gaming

Vigile writes "Few people will doubt that PC gaming is in need of a significant shot in the arm with the consistent encroachment of consoles and their dominating hold on developers. Today AMD is releasing the Radeon HD 5870 graphics card based on the Evergreen-series of GPUs first demonstrated in June. Besides offering best-in-class performance for a single-GPU graphics board, the new card is easily the most power efficient in terms of idle power consumption and performance per watt. Not only that, but AMD has introduced new features that could help keep PC gaming in the spotlight, including the first DirectX 11 implementation and a very impressive multi-monitor gaming technology, Eyefinity, which we discussed earlier this month. The review at PC Perspective includes the full gamut of gaming benchmarks in both single- and dual-GPU configurations as well as videos of Eyefinity running on three 30" displays."

Re:A shot in the arm? How about cooler chips?

So, to be clear, you just want:

• Games that are as good as StarCraft, which is a very solid contender for best game of all time
• Computers to be as cheap as netbooks but as powerful as top-of-the-line desktops
• Desktops that are ridiculously powerful but don't produce heat

Reasonable.

You clearly missed the post in the "Man found with 13 inch penis" thread where LuckyDog33 indicated he wanted to "Suck on it" and "Insert it into my anus repeatedly in a manner so as to cause friction with my anus and pressure on my prostate".
