    Having more problems with my new build.. So.. In the mobo info it says that its made for directX 10.1 tech, and im buying a graphics card which is fully directX 11 compatible (DX11 is the only reason i'm buyin this graphics card). So can i have any problems/performance issues while running this setup?

    GPU: XFX HD5870 (one hell of a graphics card, gonna crossfire 3 of those next summer)
    Motherboard: A770DE+ (the only mobo that seems worth buying and supports all other hardware components i have)

    Anybody, correct me here, if I am wrong, but unless you get a really old motherboard, the motherboard can't really limit the DX functionality. The only component that limits that is the graphics card.
