Choosing a Graphics Card

[Tavingon]

Hey guys, going to buy my new gaming pc soon, but I'm stuck as to what card to get for the graphics.. I was looking at the ATI Radeon H6850 or 6870

Yes, the low price of both right now plus the small price difference makes the 6870 the best choice IMO. I've had the 6850, runs CloD well at high settings, after the patch both should run the game without any problems.

I have the one in sig and I maxed out all the settings, with fps always around 30-50. The 3 gB are used at 80-90% by CloD.
BTW, do the ATI cards till show the blue lines ?

That problem has been narrowed down to the 69xx cards only, no other AMD cards are affected and yes, I do believe it's still there. Luthier said almost a year ago that it was a driver problem so who knows if it will ever be fixed.

S!

AMD, at least 7900-series, do not have the stripes. I use the 12.4 drivers(with OpenCL 1.2). Works a treat.
