Im running a FX 5600 at the moment so time is an issue. My current card is the limiting factor and preventing me playing most new titles at a decent frame rate. Although I am sure the 520 will be an extremely capable chipset I am concerned about the cost and availability of the cards. If companies can get away with charging £400 for a XT800 XT PE what is the price tag on the 520 going to be?? :rant:
The shocking availability of the PE just proves how ridiculous the rivalry between themselves and Nvidia has become where you have to pre-order technology that is 6 months old. I wish they would let the market stabilise and for customers to actually get to play with the new toys before they throw something new into the mix.
