If that a good idea, especially with the bulldozer coming out in a few months?

[Noxia]

Always something better around the corner and the 2600k will be plenty when it's ocd anyway. Nor have I seen anything about Bulldozer price or performance wise to think I'll get better bang for my buck elsewhere.

Not seen any promising benchmarks from the test models either.

Theres so much i want to buy for my PC

Editor's note: The original source of the information that Donanim Haber published this week on the alleged AMD Bulldozer engineering sample has admitted that the information was faked. Many sites were fooled by this information, including Ars, particularly because the results were plausible and fit the information we had about Bulldozer so far. Editor Emeritus Jon Stokes vetted our analysis, also believing the information to be true. Bulldozer CPUs are expected to be released in the next couple months, so we should have real results we can look at soon. However, we stand by our analysis, namely that Bulldozer will need to mainly compete on price and not raw performance.

Oh you...

I've always used Intel chips so i cant see myself changing any time soon.

Red Orchestra 2, who's getting it?

I can't believe I'm looking forward to a WW2 shooter but it actually looks really good


BBK Is Tapatalking

[keefy]

Not my cup of tea really I have played the first game on a few of the free weekends on Steam it was far too slow and realistic for me.
The vids I have seen do look good and have amazing attention to detail.

Hell yes. I'll be getting it. Looking really good.

[Noxia]

I hate WW2 weapons so no.

[BoyBettaKnow]

I was quite impressed when I first saw a video on it and the more I watch it I really like the look of the game play


BBK Is Tapatalking

[Noxia]

Just bought Command & conquer - The First Decade, I'm set for the weekend.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Nice. Got myself a new 7.1 headset yesterday

Gonna take a while to get used to it!

BBK Is Tapatalking

[keefy]

which headset is it?

[BoyBettaKnow]

Razer Megalodon.

I know, i'm a slave to the brands

[Vulgotha]

Anybody else getting Space Marine on the PC?

[BoyBettaKnow]

What is it exactly?

[Vulgotha]

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

[BoyBettaKnow]

D'uh...

Sorry i feel so stupid for not working that out myself especially as i used to played with Warhammer (collected the Tyranids). Unlikely as i never played any of the previous games. Are they worth getting into, they're strategy aren't they?

[keefy]

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Hell no, a friend at school used to play it and tried to get us all involved in ti on toyday and it bored us all rigid just like Rimmers Risk story.
It put me off anything warhammer related to this day.

[Vulgotha]

Space Marine is a third person shooter, not an RTS like Dawn of War series.




It's a bloodbath. It's also made by Relic (Dawn of War guys), arguably the best thing to ever happen to Warhammer.

This is one of my most anticipated games, and it releases early September (5th? I think)
