you're probably the type of person who refuses to wear designer clothes for the same reasons lolwhy the hell would you buy expensive designer clothes
cept modern games still mainly depend on just clock speeds. not cores.wrong. depend mostly on neither. why does an i3-4330 (2 cores/2 threads) clocked at 3.5GhZ outperform the FX-4300 (4 cores) clocked at 3.8GhZ???
this is because amd cant make stuff work on direct X. it has nothing o do with actual hardware specs. this is the fault of amd, not benchmarks.how exactly is AMD's new Hawaii XT GPU even outdated? or any of last 2 - 3 gen AMD's chips for that matter.
why dont you instead complain that amd get up to modern gaming standards. we shouldnt have to downgrade the rest of the industry (yes these benchmark sites are part of the industry) to meet a low standard of a specific company.
the problem isnt really that the 295x2 is so weak.
its that amd wants to claim last gen hardware should be top tier and price as such.tell me about it. you can get an R9 290 for $370 (went as low as $320 recently) nowadays, which is on par with the GTX 780 (at $500). R9 290X for $450, which is just like 5% percent behind the GTX 780 Ti ($700), matches at 4k resolution due to superior bus width and VRAM amount. dont even get me started on lower-end cards lol
hey while we are at it did you know a gtx 295 can keep up with an r9 280xbullstuff
it even beats the 660 in benchmarks lol
old graphic cards are weird
older cards tend to run clocks higher and easier. they just lack memory.GTX 295 has FAR lower clocks than most modern cards
newer cards just keep adding cores and memory. its much less power and heat hungry.
yeah i mean 300 watts to get the forgeter running lollol you think thats a lot for a dual-GPU card?
i was reading that nvidias 800 series are going to be much less power needing.yes, maxwell architecture, supposedly will be the first to be built in 20nm
the new re-released 750ti's use that same tech.
the numbers on those sites pretty legitimately reflect gpu performances.not even close. for example, the R9 295X2, which is the best gaming video card on the market accessible to consumers, (besides the Titan Z, but that thing is handicapped, useless in every way) is supposedly 14% WORSE than the GTX 780. while in real life it has been shown that it performs around 100% to 200% BETTER in games
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/stuffty site which does not reflect actual performance you would see in games/other applications
This should answer any performance related questions when comparing cards and prices.
if you want a laptop good for life stuff but also wouldl ike to use it somewhat for games, get a macbookwhy would you get a macbook for games over a windows laptop lol? makes no sense, games is one of the reasons NOT to buy a macbook
inb4appletooexpensive
IMO if crossfiring is still as stuffty as it used to be ~2 years ago you'd be better off with a single cardfairly sure it has been fixed through updates, its fine now
microstuttering is a pain in the assits supposedly only a real problem nowadays below 30 FPS afaik
plus a majority of games dont really support crossfire that wellpretty much all AAA games support it. those that don't aren't typically beautiful enough to need 2 video cards to run smoothly anyways
http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=91053&promoid=1413&gclid=CMH8mIDyob8CFUIQ7AodES4ASAoh wow thats quite nice. im going to be able to spend around $400 on a video card and i was thinking the R9 290, but two R9 280X's are also something to think about
280x for $230, but yeah go for the 280 if you can't afford that it will fit right in your price range
13-inch MacBook Airyeah op get this, its a great option for hipsters
Go for a r9 270x or a r9 280x if youre looking around $200 price range, you can find a 280x for around 220 if its on a nice salegenerally you would be looking at the R9 280 at that price range. R9 280X (X at the end, slightly different model) is typically around $250, i haven't seen it below $220 on sale so it might be slightly out of OP's league
>750tibecause a 750 ti is a horrible option at $200? and at $150, too. only good if you find one on sale at around $100, otherwise, there are way better cards around
why would you not
So it's basically multi-era'd Age of Empires?similar. a lot of basic mechanics are different though and there are a lot of new things, like cities and territory, more resources (they're infinite though) and they work differently, rare resources, more researching, government types, and other stuff as well
