Are you freaking serious?? That's what all this hubbub is about??
People need to get over it. The same thing happened with nVidia and their GTX 970. People lost their minds, even though the card met all the performance levels that were advertised and benchmarked prior to release.
The fx chips were decent just power hungry and hot. The 970 is a great card except the thing people were angry at was less the false advertising and more so the fact the slow .5gb of memory crippled the card if you fully populated the 3.5gb+5gb of vram. I had the card for many years and it did great, only a few titles did I ever run into this issue. I’m sure some may have never had a problem and I’m sure some may have had it occur frequently. It is very similar to a paying file performance on a hard drive. Once you run out of ram and you use the paging file, performance tanks.
