XFX Radeon HD 7850 + AMD Performance Edition 4GB DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory starting at $160 AR

Quote from toolio20 : Look, half of the world may still use XP, but that doesn't change the fact it's woefully, painfully obsolete. It might "work" to a certain extent, but it's still a piece of shit

I love this straw man argument! 1GB is insufficient for PC gaming because Windows XP is obsolete.

Quote : The fact you've never modded Skyrim suggests that amazing visuals are not important to your gaming experience. And that's fine. But the majority of PC gamers - a niche market in itself, mind you - want the best possible visual spectacle, otherwise why not just play on a console and eat in the blurry brown soup that passes for "graphics?"

I also love how you compared low resolution game textures for six and seven year old consoles to the ultra high resolution textures that modders not official game developers use as if there were nothing in-between that looks good.

Face the fact. It is you who are the niche market and opinion if you base your opinion of what hardware is required for PC gaming on the unofficial third-party modifications of one PC game.

No more free games on the XFX 7850, but the V.me promo works now. The 7850 blows my 5770 out of the water. Not sure if I want the 7850 or 7870. I won't be upgrding for a while.

Quote from saveitman : memory for the video cards was not worth adding to title OP?

Um, did you read the OP? There are four different cards with varying amounts of vram.

um the title does not reflect different cards, i know he had it in the OP but the title is what starts it all and it is misleading.

But, is it? He said 'starting at' and mentioned the model of the card. I mean, we all found it. Please do not thread crap...?

OK, color me confused. I can't find the 4 GB of desktop RAM in any of these four deals. Does it get added after you check out, or has it been removed?

Also, can anyone speak to how this would perform for Simcity? My current video card makes the game look like arse...
