It's real, but I didn't get it. Here's why.

You should watch Xigamteks other videos. They are all over the top. That's the point of mods.. why play just the vanilla game when you can have so much more? Beauty of PC.

No.. they don't. They have a set benchmark suite that they use for every card. Usually it's always everything set to as high as it would go, 4xMSAA/8xMSAA 16xAF and at various resolutions but usually at 1920x1080 and up to 2560x1600. I've never seen a benchmark where they use default settings. Never.

But I agree that the benches will be biased.

soundslike you mad (lol see what I did there). Did you order it? Buyer's remorse maybe.. do you honestly think that a streaming service could provide the same amount of performance as a high end PC?

lol Just one bad driver? How about dating back to 3xxx series. My first ATI card was a 3850, I always had problems with drivers. I switched over to nVidia's 8800GT and never looked back. Hardware can only go so far, it's the software and support that makes it last in the long run. Thankfully nVidia are good at that stuff while AMD is always behing. There was a point when two 460s scaled better than two 5870s.. that's not right and AMD got off their ass and fixed it. But most recen...

lol Flop imminent.

Not really.. it's that low a price because it doesn't sell well on PC because nobody wants it because it's optimized like shit because Rockstar are lazy and incompetent devs.

Everything about this game makes me want to vomit. Worst controls I've ever played with, piss poor graphics, the story is constantly stumbling on itself and the gameplay in general is crap.

ZOMG 91 FPS in Metro!! 0.0 I didn't think that was possible.

Can't believe how well three of them scale.. way better than AMD cards' scaling. Even an i7 @ 3.8 is still a bottleneck for these monsters.

51354 3DMark GPU and 36450 P.. mind = blown. I wish I had the cash for this setup. 3 monitors and a 3 way 580 SLI would be so sweet, I'd rather have three cards for 3 monitors than one card for 3 a la eyefinity. Better performance for triple scr...

Yep pretty much sums it up: nVidia drivers >>> AMD drivers. Pretty pathetic of AMD to do this..

"We believe our customers would rather we focus our resources to maximize performance and provide an awesome, immersive gaming experience without compromising image quality, than engage in a race to the IQ gutter with AMD."

Well said nVidia. Image quality is important but a lot of people buy products based on FPS numbers. The better performing ...

Wow looks really good for iPhone.. not too fond of FPS games on the device.

Sweet! The under water part of the demo looks stunning, and I thought Heaven bench looked good.. lol. Gotta admit that the yellow Antec jeep looks like a Hot Wheels car.

Updates for old games don't surprise me anymore after seeing the original Half Life getting updated every other week.

Yeah bro me neither, everything Bioware makes is godlike. Mass Effect spin-off is fine by me.

I pre-ordered 2 years ago. This game is one of the best looking indie games if not thee best. The lighting is amazing and reminds me of Doom 3. Great stuff, Unknown Worlds released a little sandbox a while back too so modders can dip their toes in for a test.

Sweet, nVidia once had the crown for dual GPU as well with the 295. 580 SLI scaling is superb so a dual GF110 card will be a monster.

@ NYC

You pay for the best. nVidia also has CUDA architecture, great support for 3D, Physx, and better Tess performance, among other things. The deciding factor for most people will be drivers. AMD(back then ATI) has always pushed new hardware first, but drivers weren't great. They have great hardware but that only takes yo...

soundslike you're a 10 year old (see what I did there? lol).

Community made content is a big part of PC gaming. Mods will keep a game up and running long after the console versions are dead and forgotten. Did you know that people are still making mods for Half Life 2? Yeah bet you didn't.. PC games have this thing called replayability which console games sorely lack. It's great playing new games, but it feels even greater to go back to an old game and spice it up...
