PC - AMD FX 8-core - View Post

Ever since I went "enthusiast" with PCs, AMD really has fallen off the grid for me.

Their video cards to make a strong case, however deciding factor for me is that I game with 3 monitors and its still a given that if one wants the best performance with that, 3 GTX580s 3GB versions (watercooled and overclocked to shit hopefully :) ) scale better than anything AMD cards can do.

Single monitor/TV gaming though I'd probably go AMD with a 5970 or 6990.


Yeah, if you do any kind of CPU overclocking and want the best performance in games, AMD processors just aren't good enough. Price be damned. I do like their GPU's though, currently using the HD6950 2GB which isn't even new but it still kicks ass in all the games I've thrown at it thus far (Dead Island, Metro 2033, The Witcher 2 etc).
