That's why I decided to go with a Phenom II system a few months back, is because multi-core processors are at a level right now that the differences in game performance is negligible.
I dare say it might be the first time in computer history that both processing and graphics power has advanced to such a point while the technical requirements of games seems to have stabilized (due to the consoles mostly) that these systems will be able to continue to be excellent gaming machines f...
I can't wait to purchase this card, I am looking forward to unlocking the true potential of my award winning AMD Dragon Platform.
I am purchasing this card the day it is released locally, I cannot wait as it will complete my system upgrade.
My DDR3 Phenom II @ 3.6ghz will be a powerful games machine with excellent upgradibility in the future, coupled with a 5870 I do not expect to have to upgrade the video card for at least 2 years.
Regardless, it will be a massive improvement over my current card, a 256mb 7900GT. Having a 2gb 5870 is going to be crazy.
Even at $299 and with the PS3 Slim Sony cannot defeat the Xbox 360 and its award winning lineup. Xbox 360 games look and play better than PS3 titles and starting at $199 consumers everywhere pledge their loyalty and their dollars to the Xbox 360.
Forza 3 is undoubtedly shaping up to the be definitive racer of this generation, I can not wait to see all the critical claim and awards this title will receive, GT5 seems so old hat and doesn't stand a chance with its outdated physics engine and inferior handling.
One has to ask why is N4G still in 'beta' after all these years and why the site's updates have stagnated. It seems that those who are in power over N4G are more than happy to continue to exploit the efforts of the contributors and get rich from it instead of actually putting in some more much needed effort themselves to ensure that this site is the best that it can be.
If they are taking the Lions Share of the revenue we as a community should be expecting more from them on impro...
I wrote this article and I was lucky enough to get it approved for hosting at Neocrisis, many thanks to the admins there.
I think this is an issue which N4G members of all sides can get behind, be you an Xbox 360 enthusiast or even a fandroid.
Our hardest working contributors deserve to get better compensation for their efforts which have made the people who run N4G a lot of money over the years as the site has gained in popularity while the contributers are still ...
The most hilarious thing is that none of the droids are arguing that the PS3 should be ahead of the Xbox 360, therefore they are all implicitly admitting the Xbox 360's undeniable superiority over the inferior disastrous PS3 this generation.
This is great news for consumers everywhere, the Xbox 360 undoubtedly is the best product for consumers to purchase these holidays as the Xbox 360 produced today is not only the most reliable console ever made thanks to the Xbox 360's numerous revisions and high tech manufacturing techniques, but this also shows Microsoft's commitment and belief in the Xbox 360 as a consumer product of the highest quality.
Microsoft believe in the quality of their products so much that they have ...
The droids convinced themselves for months on end that Backwards Compatibility was coming to the PS3, only to find out that Sony has misled and lied to them yet again.
Sony and the PS3 is a story of promises and broken dreams, the fandroids should know by now that the only true fully featured home entertainment system this generation is the Xbox 360.

Bankrupt morally and financially Sony has been unable to effectively reform and change its business practices to be competitive in the 21st century. Facing endless quarters of losses with no turn around in sight whatsoever, coupled with dwindling cash reserves the Sony empire slowly but surely moves towards bankruptcy.
EA is not at fault here, it is countless years of Sony's arrogance and poor decisions in designing the arhitecture of the PS3. This is why the Xbox 360 can do thin...

The PS3 Slim is representative of everything that is wrong with Sony's business model, and for that reason it will be the last PlayStation ever released.
I have waited countless years for this title and it is wonderful to finally play it in english.
If anyone has any issues with the patching process, in particular checksum errors on computers with AMD processors please send me a PM and I will help.
Kojima and Konami were supposedly going to do a Policenauts translation many years ago but sadly it never came to fruition, probably due to what they saw as less then stellar sales of Snatcher on MegaCD.
Personally I am just thankful that Konami let the project go ahead and didn't serve it with a cease and desist, which sadly happens all to often.
This is great news for Kojima enthusiasts everywhere, finally we will be able to play one of his greatest masterpieces in english.
To many this is even bigger than the release of a new Metal Gear title, it has been a good 14 or so years of waiting for this to be released in English.
I am incredibly excited and cannot wait.
Only Xbox 360 and Forza 3 can provide this level of realism, Forza 3 is undoubtedly the definitive racing simulator this generation.
The average Sony fandroid undoubtedly has the cranial capacity of a small bird and as such they enjoy bright and shiny things. This is what appeals them to the PS3 with its polished finishes, but because of their low intelligence they fail to understand that they have fallen into a trap.
The Sony fandroid is like an abused housewife, Sony has mistreated them for years on end abusing their wallets with high prices and inferior looking and playing titles to the Xbox 360. They got a...
If this title was on Xbox 360 it could have sold 8 or 9 million undoubtedly, lucky they won't bring Dragon Quest titles to PS3 since its such a disaster.
It is a platform which AMD has designed containing the Phenom II Processor, motherboard with 790 series chipset and a Radeon graphics card.
