-|-aMMo-|- Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ubi do a deal with ASUS? Maybe they will bundle the game with it to try and recruit new players and if that fails atleast they will get rid of the disks just sitting around in the warehouse.

CkZWarlord Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This doesn't make a lot of sense seeing another post on the GR:AW sequal for 1st half 2007... Box looks photoshopped to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 what's even funnier, Asus used DDR3 1.0Ghzinstead of DDR4 which runs faster at 2.0Ghz. great use of the latest and greatest GPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOTA:X Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Why would they partner a DX10 card with GRAW instead of an actual DX 10 game like Crysis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Possibly because the card in question will finally be powerful enough to fuel the game it's bundled with out of the box? It's common for bundled games to be prior generation 'high-end' titles. It shows the power of your hardware, without risking the chugging that bundling a bleeding edge game would introduce. Savvy marketing, really. If you purchased a new video card, and the 'featured' game looked fantastic, but ran painfully slowly, you would likely feel ripped off. By including a game that was slower on all former incarnations of hardware, as an example of how much better the new card is, you look like a greater innovator than you are, to the average consumer. Good marketing, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota.RiP Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 u forgot a thing: GRAW is a beta game, not a finished game, so G80 buyers could expect more from the card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pz3 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 sigh.... waiting for GDDR4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCO*AFZ* Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 sigh.... waiting for GDDR4 DDR3 was probably to keep the cost down. DDR4 i imagine would raise it significantly. Also currently DDR4 may have higher latency therefore not giving enough bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleyt Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 u forgot a thing: GRAW is a beta game, not a finished game, so G80 buyers could expect more from the card LMAO! Some of you really don't know what "beta" means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
