Anyone using the new Ati 5870 ?

I haven't tried tbh. I tried playing around a bit more with some settings. I'm set at maxfps 60 and maxfpsbk 30 and it's topped off no matter where I go when effects are set to "good", but when I turn them up to "high", it slows back to a crawl (we're talking like 8-9 fps on all chars in any setting) - I'm not sure what seems to be the difference...

you can probably try setting everything on max on your main except lower the shadows to below mid point (as anything above is not noticeable (to me) except in roughly 1/2ing your fps for each tick (I'm exagerating a bit but that single setting is the only thing killing my fps in dalaran (on the lowly gtx 260))

(and make sure those shadows are low on your slaves too obviously)

Thanks a bunch - that was exactly it :-)
