Fastest card for a couple of months

darkequitus5749d ago

That was a clever comment. A red apple for you

hano5748d ago

I think it will be a while before you see a single card that gives as much performance for the money.

Hueco Muendo Leader5749d ago

thats why i say pc gpus are never all that impressive like you pc fans hype them to be

TheIneffableBob5749d ago

This is actually an extremely impressive GPU.

The price-to-performance ratio is fantastic, and from a pure performance standpoint, the HD 4870X2 is beastly. The microstuttering problem that has plagued multi-GPU setups has also supposedly been fixed.

Garrison5749d ago

Not because it lacks something, on the contrary.... It makes me sad cuz I won't be able to afford it right now. It really is a great deal at 399.

Vazz5748d ago

Meh not impressed. It's basically two cards in one slot. SLI on one card, cheating. I hate how card makers are doing that a lot these days.

Xi5748d ago

but you can run this card in sli with another 4870X2.

AuToFiRE5748d ago

wrong, in crossfire, which is better than SLI

hano5748d ago

the 4870 is really impressive, now the 4870X2 is pure win. Great Performance per the money. Now nobody has a reason to think about Nvidia latest cards with their bloated price tags.

Who cares if it is 2 AMD4870 slapped together. It gives better performance than normal crossfire and the 4870 itself is pure win.
I am normally an Nvidia guy, but this time AMD is really kicking their butts.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis3h ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits3h ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
