Rage was an abomination.

Only being "good" and being from a developer known for "great" doesn't really make something an abomination so I don't get why people **** it off so much, okay it wasn't the legend that Doom/Quake became but it was still a good/fun game and well worth the asking price, great graphics, an okay story and the vehicle and card game bits were fun. It could have been longer but for what it was it was good, it's just Boarderlands was better lol.

Aye spent many an hour playing the online side of MOHAA. I loved the way you could taunt and use voices. That was so much fun. I was the guy that spammed them all game. :D "Come back when you've had some target practice".

"I've seen french school girls shoot better".

Shame the various allies voices don't exist any more.

Forgive the question as I'm late to the party, but why is it being called the R9 290X? Is that it's official name or are we likely to see a 9970 and 9950?

The rumor is $550

Thats £344, + 20% VAT = £412

So lets say:

R9 290X (2880 SP's, 48 ROP, 512Bit) = £400 to £420
R9 290 (2560 SP's 48 ROP, 512Bit) = £320 to £350

R9 280X (7970) = £250 to £270
R9 280 (7950) = £200 to £220

R9 270X (7870XT) = £160 to 170
R9 270 (7870) = £140 to £150

R9 260X (7790) = £110 to £120
R9 260 (7770) = £90 to £100

Yes / No / Dream on.....

You are having a laugh, bro!
 
Changed your mind yet Broomstick? I thought you would have folded by now and had your card up on the MM. :p

Too much hype:confused:

Yeah there is :p
Well, tbh, there's been almost 2 years from the 79XX.
I just don't understand why more people aren't annoyed that the R9 2XX is all we're getting from 2 years ago :p

I'm intrigued to see how this goes, I want more grunt than my 7970, but I also want to be able to sit down.
