I wonder if that'll mean my 2500k and 6950 will be able to render this acceptably, considering the impact of Mantle.

It'd be nice if it could manage some beauty before I have to upgrade entirely.

WeAreLegion3473d ago

I apologize for the humor. It won't happen again.

You people are the worst.

For anyone in the know, I'm building a gaming PC and could use some help. Its a budget build so keep that in mind. For a graphic card I'm looking at the Sapphire R9 270x. What kind of performance can that card do for this game? Here are my other specs:

Corsair 600w PSU
ASUS M5A97 R2 AM3+ mobo
AMD fx 6300 black
8GB G Skill Ripjaws 1600MHz RAM

I'm hoping with overclocking and mantle I'll be able to play this game at a stable fps. Thanks.

Volkama3473d ago

You'll be able to play this game at 1080p with a decent framerate. Can't give you numbers, but benchmarks should appear all over the place in the near future.

Testfire3473d ago

Good enough for me, thanks!

I own the R9 270X with 4GB VRAM. It's a nice card and Mantle supported games like Battlefield run at 1080p with ultra details, good framerate. But if I were you I would maybe look at the 280X, because its pretty cheap now and stronger.

DougLord3473d ago

Does AMD or Nvidia have the highest framerate when playing Ultima 3 at 4k?

Also what resolution does Final Fantasy 4 play at on the PS4? It better not be the same as the Xone or I am boycotting!

Tapani3473d ago

Ultima 3! Oh what a game! :D

FromTheAshes3473d ago

Using an A4 4000 with a R7 260X. I am reluctant to upgrade because if Mantle or DX12 gives an even bigger boost to the 1080p gaming I enjoy then I see no reason to get parts until at least 2016 when AMD and Intel will have their new CPU offerings.

Tzuno3473d ago

Amd sucks even if it wins in this scenario the Power consumption of their cards are obscene compared to Nvidia. 290W for Amd compared to 165 from Nvidia so it nearly consumes double power but it doesn't deliver double performance so what we are discussing here? lame comparison go fry eggs on amd card.

anticlimax3473d ago

Not all gamers care about the power consumption of their gigs. Tempterature I understand, but even that is really only interesting for overclockers.

In the high end the 290 might take it on points here, but elsewhere, the 970 is simply more value for money.

Still, it is exciting to see Mantle improving performance (even if I can't enjoy it)

AMD may beat Nvidia, but I've never had an AMD card that worked well or didn't crap out. My Nvidia cards, though, have never given me a problem.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Retro Review – A Nostalgic Leap Short Of Legendary

Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.

The quality of these free games has been awesome. Before anyone says they are not free I was already giving Amazon $6 a month for prime shipping and video this isn't why I pay for my subscription

Teflon02928d ago

Still technically paying for it, even if it wasn't your intent. They've been giving out games with Twitch prime, they just changed the name. It's the same sub as that was. If you weren't aware, great. But you're paying for it.

That being said, I don't personally care. For me as long as you're willing to pay that for 1 service and get more. I personally take it as free. Like prime video, music though the prime version is trash, and all the Twitch benefits are all free to me because I didn't care about those when I got it. Just comes with it.

Only noted because that's technically wrong as a defense to that argument, whether I'm on yourside with the initial statement lol

mkis007928d ago

It's free to anyone who has already been paying. IDK why people need to split hairs.

TinkerNation928d ago

How does Prime Gaming work? Do you keep the games, or is it only as long as you have Prime?

Germaximus928d ago

lol Nice distraction from how they're now charging people to increase viewership. It's "just an option." /wink lol
