From Dubai and it costed me 1300 AED, i am busy with family wedding now days so haven't had chance to properly test it, to be honest my intitial test with GTA V was disappointing, i was getting 32-34 fps with everything on ultra at 1080p, this is strange as almost all the benchmarks for the reference card suggest that it should perform 50+ fps, in BF4 i was getting 70+ fps, like i said not have enough time to sit and figure this out i might have to play around with settings in wattman or something

Congrats. I am planning to buy a gtx 1060. I tried to find RX 480 online but didn't see it anywhere.

No no, believe me, you do not put EVERYTHING on ultra in gta V, it is a very very hungry game and you need to seriously tweak settings like bringing down MSAA to x2 and grass quality to medium and some more and still it would count as game being on ultra. All these reviewers bring down these settings for even ultra benchmarks. On the other hand the game that you can truly put everything on ultra would be the ones with Frostbite like BF3 BF4 BF Hardline BF1 Titanfall 2 NFS and stuff like that because they are very well optimized and have realistic settings. Congratz on that great card, it kicjs ass at Async compute.......

thanks,

with little bit of tinkering around with GTA V settings i am now playing at 60-70 fps very enjoyable, other games i have not tested, i guess i will give Doom a go and post some results

Edit:

Just tested Doom with Vulcan API .. 1080p with everything on ultra, the MINIMUM fps i got was 140, on average i was getting between 160-170 fps ...

i haven't had time to do any review, been busy, but i can tell you guys one thing, Mafia III 1080p everything at maximum and it's running at 30fps smoothly, no jerks, keep in mind that the game version i am talking about is prior the patch which removes the 30fps cap, will try the patch and report back.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
