Still, it doesn't matter too much, i still see PC's prebuilt by big store labelled as gaming PC's with a GT430 or a HD 64 something.

This is the whole f*cking reason consoles win at this. You buy a gaming pc called a 6990 and you associate it with a HD6990 and you think it'll kick ass when in reality, you play Metro or Stalker or Crysis and it limps about like a rotten sausage. So your store bought gaming pc sux, so you buy a console next time.

Really, a GT430 is more capable than any console. When you are playing a game in DX9, with low-medium detail levels, at 720p resolution, you don't really need a powerful card...

Nope, look a little bit higher in the picture, it says 6990D2. It really is a lame naming scheme, but people need to do their research before buying and it won't be a problem.

One thing you got to hate in PC marketing: "X"!:slap:

Anyway, back to the nonsense; @amd: trolling & inciting geek-rage is not allowed on TPU!

That's just silly. The whole rest of the configs aren't too bad. It pops it up by not even a full level, i.e. a 6450 becomes 6510 or a 6670 becomes a 6710. But the whopper of a jump up in nomenclature from 6670 (discrete) to 6990 is way out of sync. If it followed the table trend it should be 6710.

Still, it doesn't matter too much, i still see PC's prebuilt by big store labelled as gaming PC's with a GT430 or a HD 64 something.

Bah, shakes fist at AMD.

So you rate gaming grade as being able to play poorly coded games or games optimized for the competitor's GPU?
