IMO AMD is starting to fall behind Nvidia pretty bad, especially when it comes to high end rigs where you really have to know about airflow or you will really screw your system up. Pretty puzzling that Nivida can make more powerful cards that run cooler while AMD makes more powerful cards that might need 14amps just to power on...

I'm pissed at Nvidia pricing though. That Titan Z put a bad taste in my mouth. I love dual gpu cards for their efficiency, but Nvidia fukked up this round. Unless the 790 is around the corner

One would have to be a complete idiot to buy that card for gaming. A 790 will come out sooner or later once Nvidia is finished fishing for the idiots.

Moving on,

Bioshock 2's controls have to be one of the worst from console ports.

and they won't even allow you to use a controller

Nah controller support was patched in a few months back but even those feel horrible for some reason.

Wow, I can't believe they finally patched that in. They were really about that no-gamepad life.

They game sucks in general in my opinion. Well, maybe not sucks, but definitely not up to par with 1 or infinite (it was made by a different team though, so I guess that's what you get...)

fukk A 790, that was supposed to BEEN come out! WHERE THE 870 or 880 GTX

these graphic card companies fukkin with us so far in 2014

AMD just had to go and fukk the entire game up

So this is what happens when you only have 2 major companies battling each other

you need that 3rd company around to balance shyt out when one of the 2 decide to go another way

I always to felt like bioshock was an overrated series, but I couldn't even get past the first few hours of part 2

nikkas got over 500 games from Steam knowing damn well they won't even play half of them before they die.

Cryptocurrency fukked the game up.

You'd think with these 4K monitors going down in price they'd be pumping out more powerful cards left and right. Instead you got a Titan Z for 1K more than it should be and that barely performs better than 780 ti SLI and then this behemoth of an AMD card for $1500 that apparently is still not efficient.

Disappointing all around...

Right but Cyrptocurrency jacked AMD pricing up not so much nvidia

AMD used to crush the buildings on the cheaper scale
and nvidia still crushing the buildings on the higher end scale

but nvidia holding they part of the end still up

but amd sitting back like we dont even need to release high end products but we can sell em for high end pricing

I don't even know if nvidia is holding up their part of the end anymore. The 295x2 performs a little better than 780ti sli for about the same price. Nvidia should be crushing the buildings with a new 800 series, but instead they're content with their 700 series shyt (still good cards mind you). And this titan bullshyt too
