Re: Buying a new video card (advise needed)

But isn't the 5870 worse for newer DX11 games? I heard that the 6870 has newer DX11 technology.

No. The only thing the 5870 is worse in is tessellation. In every other category it crushes the 6870, however, it does use more power.

The 6870 is slightly better at pixel rate.
