It's been less than two weeks since AMD launched the first DirectX11 video card and followed it up with the 5850 graphics card shortly after. Now AMD is launching the next two models in their 5000 series of cards. Seems rather quick? We'd say so, it was months and months before lower mid-range cards were released by AMD in the 4000 series but here we see them incredibly accelerated and ready to go. We'll be looking at these new cards, the 5770 and 5750 as well as a 5750 from Sapphire.

As you can see these are some very competitive cards with specs in the range of the 4870 for both of them but with all the DX11 and low power benefits of the 5000 series. There are 80 less stream processors on the 5750. The 5870 has 1600 stream processor units and the 5850 1400 so it is quite a bit less than those.

We don't have time to go into the details but here are some of the new technologies DirectX11 will bring, which hopefully is much more succesful than DX10. So far, it still seems harder than not to notice the details and speed improvements don't really seem to be there.
