Oh awesome. Any idea as to what improvements DX11 brings to the game? I've not found any interesting information regarding this.

Yea,

Patch notes

General

* DirectX 11 support enabled.
* Added /roll [n] chat command to generate random value in group chat. [n] is optional and defines the max. random value. Default is 100.
* Placing Buildings: When holding ctrl+mousewheel, it is now possible to correctly rotate a building before placement.

Cards

* Bug fix: Cards able to deal more damage against frozen units did not work correctly any more since the last patch. They either did not deal the expected amount of damage or did not correctly buff other entities to deal more damage against frozen units. This has now been fixed. The following affected cards will now be functional again as indicated in their descriptions: Rageflame (Frost Affinity), Core Dredge (Both Affinites), Deepgorge (Fire Affinity), Northstar (Both Affinities).
* Bug fix: Cards in stand ground-mode do not get knocked down from walls by cards like “hurricane” anymore (the "burrower" is still stable able to do so)
* Bug fix: Crystal Fiend: On some upgrade levels this unit casted it’s heal aura incorrectly on the same target multiple times. This has been corrected.
* Bug fix: Amazon: The Amazon now gets regular damage from god spells (due to a bug this unit only received 75%)
* Bloodhorn: Added missing sounds on death, when dying, the unit is not breathing anymore

Bug Fixes

* Fixed issue where the card tooltip in the forge was displayed behind the chat window.
Turrets are no longer returning too fast into their neutral position if the attacked target dies during attack
* Fixed a bug where the unity ability caused desynchronization errors.
* On the map Soultree, Viridya did in some case not freeze the main enemy wave. This was corrected.


The servers will go down at 14:30 CET (in roughly 1 hour) and the downtime is to be expected around 90 minutes.

I don't think FRAPS works in Crysis Warhead?

I just had a quick run through the early jungle/coast level on the same settings as you and it seemed to fluctuate between high 20s and low 40s using the ingame fps counter -gameplay seemed pretty smooth and no slow down when blowing things up, shooting at multiple enemies. Thus far very happy with the card. :)
 
I am very very impressed with the results I am seeing from the 5870...guys you have done us proud. Virus2k being the most excitable amongst all of you lol...however, lets not forget when the 5870X2 is released that's when the big boys (aka moi :D) will be showing you how it's really done hahaha...ok only joking but you know what I mean haha...oh and Virus2k, you are now no longer allowed to RMA your two 5870s and get a 5870X2 :p :D
 
This card just keeps impressing me! I just tried arma 2 max settings and it didn't even break a sweat, don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight. ;P

I'm absolutely going to buy another 5870 at some point, I don't need it but I'm drunk on power. MOAR POWER!!
 
I doubt I can fit another 5870 in my case (Antec 900). Already getting a little crowded in there. ;) Pity though cos getting another 5870 down the line is definitely a decent option.
