ATi's return to Glory September 21, 2008
Tariq Rahman (Dubai, U.A.E)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is mind-blowing performance, folks...it chews up every game you throw at it, and was the only card that let me play Crysis at the detail settings that I wanted to. Held out from playing until now...and man, was I glad that I did.
Anti-aliasing comes almost free of any performance hit, and resolutions/quality settings previously considered ridiculously intensive for gaming are suddenly not that extravagant anymore. CFAA, especially Edge-Detect AA, deserves mention, as it is ATi's custom AA mode that kicks in at the shader level, and can thus be applied to almost any game.
COD 4 at 24x CFAA is indeed a sight to behold, and can be played with buttery smoothness.
The downsides to this card? First of all, it's comes at a price premium due to it's market leading performance. Secondly, 2 GPUs on one card can produce a lot of heat...you will need a case with good airflow, and plenty of room to install as well.
Lastly before buying, a PSU of at least 600W is required...BARE MINIMUM. Recommended PSU should be between 700W - 800W for a fully loaded system.
Happy gaming! :)
