Tempting... but I have to say I am more of an arcade deluxe cab fan. I loved the ones for Galaxy Force, Thunder Blade and After Burner.
Things are going to get spicy. Better be meme worthy.
AMD needs to announce their lineup soon. Folks are getting ready to preorder Nvidia 3000 cards and AMD is about to miss the boat.
Even if the new AMD cards are more powerful than the new Nvidia cards, I would still recommend the Nvidia cards over them. I've had an AMD card for several years and while it does perform well on PC games. In the emulation department, it is severely lacking. I am a user that likes to dabble in almost everything on the PC and what most video card reviewers won't tell you (mainly because many of them don't play or have time to play games or the stigma behind emulation) is that most emulators on PC are designed with Nvidia cards in mind and an NVidia card that is half as powerful may outperform a more powerful AMD card because AMD has dropped support for OpenGL in favor of Vulkan. When it comes to streaming games from your PC to other devices such as your phone or tablet, Nvidia also sees an advantage here where I have yet to find a counterpart for AMD that works just as well. AMD cards are great for PC gaming as well as other more mainstream tasks but if you want to try something outside of the normal or something cool, you are out of luck until AMD addresses these problems.
