Damn. I need a new graphic card to play Far Cry 4  :'(

So I'm planning to buy one in the next weeks/months, so I can post in the openworld forums more frequently. Just don't want to spoil me ;)

AMD will release the Rx 300 GPUs next month after E3 (I guess) ???? The R9 390/390x will have HBM memory which will have up to 9x performance than GDDR5 ???

[PZ]

I almost waited for the 390, but became impatient and settled for the 980 - since I have hardly been able to do anything PC related, I should have waited.

However, this week I am on holiday and will have plenty of time between home chores

2x the memory lane bandwidth(512bit R9 290 has 320 gbps vs the HBM 640gbps on R9 390 series) , latencies are pretty much the same, performance wise they act the same. This will be mainly showing as faster loading times on games that require huge textures to be loaded into VRAM.

[TheStranger]

I think it will be a R280 or 290. Other cards are too expensive or would be too fast for my CPU.

[OWGKID]

Which CPU brand do you have? Intel or AMD?

[mandru]

AMD or Nvidia?  Guaranteed to start an argument.  It's like asking Ninja or Pirate on an open forum.  ::)

(I always insert Lumberjack into that argument.  More people have met death through an encounter with hobnail boots than all the fatal martial arts kicks ever thrown and pirates are just scum fully deserving of a noose and a stout drop. >:D )


At least for FC4 when I start it up with my GTX 680 I get a splash screen that says "Nvidia The way it's meant to be played".    ;)

[Stiku]

I see that as bating for reaction.  :D

[OWGKID]

I don't intend to start a PC hardware war  here ;) Just curious about TheStranger's PC specs  :-D

[TheStranger]

Which CPU brand do you have? Intel or AMD?

Phenom II X4 955 3.20 GHz, 8 GB RAM

Currently ATI Radeon HD 5770.

[OWGKID]

Nice. I guess a R9 290 will be a good choice for you  :-() The card can max most games at 1080p and still get 60+ fps ^-^

[TheStranger]

Hey guys I'm back  :)

Bought a new graphics card and now FC4 works like a charm :) But first I have to play through one time, so as not to spoil me in the forums. See you!  8)

[Art Blade]

[OWGKID]

[Art Blade]

 ??? nice one! :)

[OWGKID]

The other weapons which have golden paint are the AK-47, Desert Eagle, .44 Magnum, A.J.M.9 and the Skorpion (don't remember) ???? Wish every weapon in the game could have golden paint >:D :-D

Other than as a nod to Mr Mumu Chiffon I can't figure out why in a few of the weapons pink is considered the Fierce color.  ::)
