AMD jumps back in the gaming ring.
It’s that time again. Time for some new blood to be put into the video card market and this time it’s AMD’s turn at the wheel. The hype surrounding the new R9 and R7 series video cards will now be put to rest as the actual testing results get in on all the new cards.
We take a look today at the MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition video card that is priced at $299.99 and aimed to compete with the GTX 760-770 cards from NVIDIA. The new R9 280X is a mid level gaming solution that is not the Titan killer that many were expecting, but still something from AMD that will help lower the pricing of cards all around.
Many of you have already surfed the net and have seen that the new R9 280X shares many things in common with the HD 7970GHz Edition video cards and that basically it is a rebranded card with a few new technical twists. AMD is planning on having their next level of card up the R9 290X be the so-called Titan killer, but for those wanting to save money and still get a solid card I think the R9 280X will find a nice home in todays market. AMD really wants to get your cash and even though many things have remained the same lets see what is different and how this card stacks up against the competition.
