Kotaku: AMD kick-started 2012 with the release of the Radeon HD 7970, the first member of the Radeon HD 7000 GPU series. This launch marked the introduction of the first-ever graphics card to be made on a 28nm design process, representing the company's most complex GPU to date, with 4,313 million transistors in a 352mm2 die.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
Finally a proper benchmark with both AMD Boost and Non Boost cards.
just bought the AMD 7870 on a black friday sale for 150 off... excited for the shipment to arrive. miles ahead of my current 4850
AMD pretty much beat the crap outta Nvidia this round!
HD 7970 GHZ card is a straight up BEAST! Then add in the fact that you can get one cheaper than a GTX680 and also the HD 7970 performs better than a GTX 680 across 3 screens!
after that though pretty much any card you get is good enough for your budget! Also I prefer SLi/CFX instead of one card but that's just me! If your gonna spend $500 bucks on a GPU then u might as well buy 2 $250 GPU's and out perform one $500 GPU!
Nvidia does have CUDA, Physx, and Native 3D while AMD's has ATi Stream and OpenCL (CUDA like features) and 3D by way of you choosing what 3D software you want but NO Physx!
All in all any card you get is good as long as it's within your budget!
The 7950 for $300 is such a great price. Also, to make it even better when i ordered mine it came w/ far cry 3, hitman, and sleeping dogs for free.
Rocking my GTX670. ^^ Was a nice upgrade from the HD4870 that I was using before.
I got burned by AMD's patchy driver support so I'm not using them again even if their cards do perform better.
