I used to like AMD gpus, I'm not that active in gaming any more though. Lately I come across more and more news that AMD's GPU business is not sustainable, and they can't compete anymore.

Usually only reflections because shadows look worse in most games IMO, and it makes o ..read more

XFX DD Radeon R9 280X Black 3 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz 6-Core Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Those are my current specs. Haven’t gamed on a PC for quite a few years and getting back into it. I don’t play modern AAA titles or need max graphics. Just random games on steam, mod halo campaigns and stuff like that.

For anyone with an ASRock RX7000 GPU, ASRock has released a pretty interesting app that helps set up AI by taking a lot of the guesswork out of the process.
