Still happy with my 3GB 7970 but I'll be keeping an eye out for this. Might wait for the GHz Edition of this card. Hope they bundle better games than DiRT Showdown with it next time.

jamz43990d ago

The never settle bundles have gotten pretty good, right now I think it's Bioshock Infinite, FC3 Blood Dragon and Crysis 3. Pretty good deal imo

FAKE

AMD is not releasing a new card until 2014 which will be a GDDR6 card.

SwiftArsonist3990d ago

i got a 7870 but im waiting for a 8870 with supposely offers a 40% increase in output

papashango3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

that's generally how I usually go about upgrading.

Anything 40% or more faster than what I have is when I upgrade. So have a bubble

Well the reveal of the GTX 780 proved that Titan is an overpriced joke of a card as i suspected from the start, the 780 is like 2-3fps behind the Titan and a lot cheaper.. though still a lot of cash.

What happened to prices of high end cards? i thought £400 for a 6800 ultra all the way back in 2004 was expensive.. now they just seem to go higher and higher, and they act as if 4K resolution gaming is possible.. pfft.. you need a high end card if you want to play the latest game full settings at 1080P to keep 60+ fps as often as possible as it is, nevermind higher.

Talk about stagnant tech.

sourav933990d ago

If the game is optimised well enough, a mid ranged graphics card can play the latest games at 1080p at 60fps.

ShinMaster3990d ago

Exactly. Most games don't really need the latest hardware.

Sy_Wolf3990d ago

To be fair the Titan is significantly better at GPU compute. But for only games its irrelevant.

Review - Heading Out (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Heading Out combines genres and styles which might sound incompatible at first glance, but did so in a very interesting manner, resulting in a truly unique roguelike experience. I, for one, really liked the presentation as well, with its slick visuals and soundtrack. It’s not entirely perfect, as the driving could have been more polished, and the pop-in glitches really took me out of the experience at times. That being said, it’s a game unlike any other out there, which wlll definitely keep you engaged through a good few runs."

I remember the same thing in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft sure love to copy paste stuff in their games.

I just figured out where they got the extra A to make AAAA games, they copy and pasted an extra A 😂

The complete game will be about $140.

The mc looks so bland, she needs a cooler outfit and hair or maybe allow people to play as the awesome robot with the duster coat
