Guess I have to catch up with times. but damn, Gears of Wars just punishes low memory!

That or AMD needs to work on color compression. It does not seem to hurt the 4-6GB Nvidia GPUs.

I agree with your conclusion Hilbert. While it's a nice card that does what it sets out to do, who exactly is the target audience? The $150-$250 dollar market is so crowded right now I personally think AMD should have just went straight to the 5600's and skipped these.

I was expecting it to trade blows with the 570 instead it goes against 590 and 1660 ! Nice going .... although the 4gb model is a bit ...bleh

For only $200 and at those power figures I must say this little card is performing very nice.

Have you seen the performance figures a bit above your comment?

A very odd thing to say...
