ATI release Hotfix for performace boost with Far Cry 2

[Hussein19891]

No, the GTX 260's (Core 216) in SLI beat the 4870X2.

Core 216's hover around 300$~ while a 4870 can be hand for like 50$ less.

core 216's can be had for not much more than a 4870X2:

PCGH - Test/Benchmark: Far Cry 2: GPU and CPU benchmarks

the core 216's come out to $600 while a 4870X2 is $550.

Doesnt matter, after driver updates and hotfixes theyre gonna end up in the same place they are now, right on par with each other.

Is it just me or is anyone else starting to get incredibly annoyed at the GPU hardware industry ridiculous number of model types ( with small changes like the core 216 ), purposefully confusing names, new games not doing well with crossfire/SLI setup, and drastic inconsistent performance depending on the game. A year and a half ago some considered it complicated but things have only gotten more drastically complicated. Besides comparing price/performance ratios, you now have to consider CF/SLI compatability with the game ( some gain huge boosts, some not at all ) as well as which game it is ( Nvidia dominates some, ATI dominates some ). Sheesh...

^^ yeah it's a huge circus. Gives me a headache just to think about it. Whatever. Least I don't need to follow that stuff anymore.
