damn.. yeah and totally unnecessary, well for me at least. I bought like a 256mb hd4570 or something couple years back.. hell think it's 4 years by now. and it was cheap then. still runs great. and when it doesn't I'll buy another one, even cheaper now, and put it in crossfire mode
all the best games don't really need a lot of graphical power
