I like that AMD's current line of GPUs offer good performance for the money. While they are not very expensive, the HD7870 can essentially run every game at my resolution (1920x1080) perfectly. The power consumption is not that high and many are sold with efficient and quiet coolers.
I think the HD7870 is the ideal card for gamers who are looking for good performance yet are looking to save some money. The HD7870 offers better performance for the price compared to the competition.
Additionally I am happy to see that AMD looks to be improving support with computer game studios through the Gaming Evolved program. I believe this is a step in the right direction and will likely result it better driver performance for new titles down the road.
AMD has really come through for the crunching comunity with these new video cards wonderful DP performance and these new cards are much easier on my electric bill..
My current video card is an AGP 2600HD PRO, still kicking. It isn't viable for most modern games, but it refuses to outright die. Gotta love hardware made to last.
I like AMD's new graphics cards, because they are so powerful that they provide graphics lifelike and immersive I once used to only dream of, and their potential is yet to be reached in today's gaming.
