My video card failed me, but my Athlon X2 is rated at 5.7GHz too

Geez, what kind of specs do you have?

512MB ram, nVidia GeForce 5200FX (shut it!), and a Celeron 2.9 Ghz CPU. Runs games like Half Life 2 and Doom 3 on medium settings with no slow down or other problems, which that site said wouldn't run. FEAR of course took a total shit on my PC, but that site said my PC could run it well.

Been there, don't trust it. It said my PC can't run Doom 3, yet it ran it on medium settings with no problems. Then went on to say that my PC can run FEAR, yet my PC barely ran the game at the absolute lowest settings. And there was still lots of slow down and horrible, horrible graphics.

It said I can't run Call of Cthulhu, but I can run that on high settings with no problems except occasionally people's faces disappear

I can run Half Life 2 with all settings on high (except HDR ) at high resolution with no problems. :3 Yay ATI-focused gaming.


...Is there any games in existence that are focused on ATI instead of Nvidia besides Valve's stuff? I get so sick of seeing that damn "The way it's meant to be played" logo everywhere....

Not even close, especially not when Intel drops their prices next month.

No, I'm saying it's not currently-- and it definitely won't even be close next month.

Aren't, AMD's meant for better gaming? And Intel for better everything else, PC wise?
