Good news - your Radeon HD 6990 board has arrived in the UK ! I am just in a battle with most of our office who all believe they should be taking it home !

Please give us another few days to get it to you, then you can let us all know what you think of the beast.

Keep gaming.

This is exactly what you and many others want so it's great to see someone out there is implementing it. All the best Chuck

Aha good question

I haven't bought it yet either (Got enough games to play at the moment) But is it worth it? Dead Space 1 was excellent.

gareth170 · 9 Mar 2011 at 15:25

yeah it's worth it. really good game.

mrk · 9 Mar 2011 at 16:33

Jelly of the 6990 but thoroughly deserved

gareth170 · 9 Mar 2011 at 18:51

All right. Once I've finished Shadow of Chernobyl (assuming I'm not killed by the sheer fear I've been feeling

) I'll probably give DS2 a play through.

Started playing Dead Space 2 and it's very good - glad Isaac has a voice now!

I just found this last night Gareth not sure if it's of any interest for you:

http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm

It is basically Track IR but FREE and doesn't need any LEDs or such it just uses your webcam to track your face. I've only played with it for 20mins and it worked really well in TDU2 with the camera mod by Racer_S, it can emulate Freetrack/Track IR and such so should be compatible with all games that work with Track IR.

Quick demo I did:

(didn't fully set it up

)

Gareth

We've just shipped your card out with DPD next day courier, hope you get it tomorrow.
