Computers

3 comments By Andy

There has been no better time to upgrade your GPU. Not only are there amazing titles, like Far Cry Primal, Tom Clancy's: The Division and Hitman being released around this time… But NVIDIA and AMD have come to the party to hook you guys up with these games for FREE for a limited time only!

This is going to be all kinds of confusing to explain… But here goes…

What do I get with what GPU?

From team NVIDIA:
ASUS 980 TI, 980 or 970 and score yourself Far Cry Primal and Tom Clancy's: The Division.
ASUS Titan X and score yourself a copy of Far Cry Primal.
Any GTX 980 TI, 980 or 970 and score a copy of Tom Clancy's: The Division.

From team AMD:

Add a comment By Ben

This blog might get a bit geeky!

Today we start shipping our new range of enthusiast Gorilla EX Rigs, the first being aptly named The First Monkey

Gorilla EX are intended to be the base for a system that you can improve over time, they come assembled and pre-loaded with the windows 8.1 operating system so you can add wireless, more storage, graphics cards and cooling to the builds easily when you want to.

The First Monkey sits in a versitile Corsair Spec-01 mid tower, with plenty of space and power to do some pretty cool builds. We can add 120mm LED fans with fancy controllers, wireless and solid state storage later – right now we start off with a quick look at graphics card options!

Gorilla Rigs gameplay video improvements

Computers

Add a comment By Ben

We've been uploading videos of gameplay at the bottom of our Gorilla Rigs whenever possible, always trying to keep them action packed and spoiler free. Recently, we started including settings used at the end of videos, now we will also be posting FPS count videos and benchmarks.

We are trying to find the best free benchmark available to all, so you can run it on your rigs at home to see the comparisons – any suggestions would be great! Currently we are using the FF benchmark available for download here.

On that note we love great suggestions, so use the FB comments section either of the Gorilla Rigs pages or under the Youtube video to let us know the games you want to see them play or maybe a cool chassis you would like to see a Gaming Rig built in :)

Below is our first FPS test with Gorilla Warfare, the goal with these is see how close to max settings we can get without overclock to play at 60 frames per second.

Behold, the R9 290X...

This card has metaphorically lit a fire under the GPU market.

The hot, hot, hot entry price of the R9 290X has NVIDIA fans second guessing upcoming purchases, and the comprehensive benchmarks that have been popping up all around the place have been testament to the cards performance.

In nearly all instances the card trumped NVIDIA's GTX780. And that is still with the current drivers in beta. We are very excited to see how games optimize themselves against the new AMD tech.
