Radeon HD 7000 Revealed: AMD to Mix GCN with VLIW4 & VLIW5 Architectures

[Mungri]

Which games do you plan on going back and playing at any point soon? I played Mafia 2 and Cryostasis for the first time with an AMD card and didn't feel like I was missing anything. Physx in Alice was impressive but I wouldn't lose any sleep over not playing it again. To be honest losing 3d vision in most Alice, Batman, Mafia 2, and a bunch of other games would bother me far more than Physx. What games that use Physx do people even care about.

Sacred 2 I've played for over 18 months and enjoy it with Physx. Also the first Alice was one of my favorite PC games and I have played through it many times. I'll be doing the same with Madness Returns.

You cant apply your personal opinions to another persons reasons, I have never stated that other people shouldnt be buying these 7970s, I only stated that I wont be buying AMD anymore, and Physx wasnt the only reason I gave:

1) Physx (I mainly care about it Alice Madness Returns and Sacred 2 thanks, I play these games a lot and will continue to do so. Batman I played a little, but dont really care too much about it, but there may be future games released with Physx that I also enjoy).
2) Terribly poor crossfire support in the latest games (Skyrim)
3) Lots of bugs when using crossfire (I've had 3 separate crossfire setups now, and changing to SLI eliminated anything negative that I was experiencing on crossfire).
4) Overall, in the games that I play the most, Nvidia cards outperform AMD ones.

AMD drivers are great for single cards and 50/50 rubbish for crossfire. I've used amd/ati for years and this problem has reared it's ugly head on many occasion, far more so than I get with sli. - Which was my inital point in the first place. AMD need to work much harder on crossfire as right now I would prefer the 580's over the 6990's becuase of poor/non-existent scaling in recently released games.

Exactly what I've experienced, and I have been through far many more ATI / AMD cards and crossfire setups than I have Nvidia / SLI. After changing to SLI after being a long term crossfire user, I wont be going back to using two AMD cards. A single AMD card works completely fine, but I simply want two and they are useless for that compared to Nvidia.
