AMD's line up of GPU's offer excellent price to performance ratio especially the 7870, 7850, and 7950. The latest drivers have a large role to play in increasing the desirability of owning a current generation AMD GPU as opposed to a previous generation or even a competitor
I haven't tried Radeon cards in a long time. I've heard a lot of good things about them, but have always stuck with Geforce cards as I'm familiar with them and the drives haven't let me down. I would love to win these and give them a try.
yes please. amd always, all the time. I've never owned a intel proc (well I've never independently purchased one anyway) and only one nvidia gpu, a gf5200 way back in the day. ( yeah I know a 5200 lol)
I've always been an nVidia guy, but have also always admired the offerings from the red team. This generation I was so close to buying a 7970 for my rig, but a sale price for a GTX670 FTW was too good to pass up, especially considering the prices in May (much different picture now). ANYWAY, a lot of my friends swear by AMD/ATI and I am trying to help my cousin (xbox convert) build a rig for Christmas. It would be incredible to throw these bad boys in there.
i have been an AMD video card fan for some time now and never had bought anything that was released within a 1-2 year time frame of release date. As others have said.. It would be good to have free newer hardware and would save me the upgrade down the road.
I used to be an nvidia man, not really opposed to Radeons but just sticking to the known - that was until I bought a 460gtx and it systematically shit itself in any game because I used it with a P35 chipset system.
Bought a 5850, 100% gpu usage, smooth as butter.
