i got my eye on Asus STRIX 970 ... need to replace my 660Ti..
but probably will wait till end of the year and hope the prices drop a little
also did some bencmarks against GTX 980

not bad at all.. sadly CSGO didnt want to start up via phoronix-test-suite

i have tested with phenom 2 955, intel E8500, FX 8320 and i3 with the same card and the results are pretty much same.. with 0,5FPS difference as max.
its your 860M that is not powerful enough for this. your 30 is pretty good result for that card:

Quoting: natewardawgThis is really great news! Thanks for sharing your benchmarks.no its not cpu bound. you will get pretty much same result with any cpu (unless its atom or something super low) its higly GPU bound benchmark.
I just downloaded The Valley and ran it on my system that has a GTX 860M with 4GB VRAM. I only get an average of 30 FPS. I opened up the system monitor and it was maxing out a single core which means The Valley is CPU bound (probably in draw calls). While it's a beautiful scene, it's probably not a good benchmark for GPUs, at least not anymore. Since it's CPU bound you could throw a GPU that's 10x better in here and The Valley would still only get about 30 FPS if you had my same CPU.

great to see improvements but still long way to go with graphicaly intensive stuff like valley
a 660TI (midrange card) can beat 7950(highend card) by 3x
scroll down for my tropics and valley benchmarks:
http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1408316-KH-XPANDER3655
all in all .. old source engine games run pretty good... would be interesting to see Serious Sam 3, Natural Selection and Metro LL in the mix as well

what? he has always said that the numbers doesnt matter, Linux/SteamOS port is the right thing to do. i am too lazy to search the actual link for it.. but there have been several interviews with him where he is saying that.
also you cant take everyting 100% true from his mouth.. he is ranting about everything.. not only about linux.

Quoting: Half-ShotQuoting: sevenis the dev happy with the sales on linux, did he give any comments on that?His previous comment was that he didn't think the effort was worth it, and only Unity like tools can make it worthwhile for developers.

but they are like twice faster than your i3 with the same price, when it comes to multithreading.
singlethread perf sucks indeed.
electricy problem is pure lies.. you will loose like 10€ per year when comparing those and running 8 hours a day fullspeed.
also note that both intel and amd mark their TDP differently, they are not same.

Quoting: GuestOh and I wish AMD released some processors that aren’t ridiculous compared to my four year old Core i3… :-/
Edit: I mean, processors that would be significantly faster while at the same time not using 4 times more electricity.

Quoting: vultureprofessional reviewers? that is pure example of Nickelback effect
i can only remember 1 or 2 games where my favourite games were above 85, most being under 70, some even under 50. i can also remember whole lot of almost 100 that sucked as hell. take AC for example, they put so much in graphics, they forgot they are making game and not movie.
when i see someone putting grade on review, i simply don't click on it. same as i don't care about trailers. google "gamex gameplay video" and there is your score. if you like it, buy it, if you don't, don't
