Default |ABT|ATI Graphic Scout Introduced

Quote:
AMD has introduced a nifty little website that should be of great help to anyone not familiar with the GPU lingo. The ATI-Graphics-Scout.com website allows you to specify if you want a video card for viewing videos, photos, gaming or office work.

Interesting...

But I selected all options for light computer use: Browsing, photo viewing, watching movies, Microsoft office, and then I also checked off DX10 gaming and it said I should get a 4890!

Also, it doesn't list the 4870x2 as an option.

Fold On!

I am 45% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?
I am 62% addicted to World of Warcraft. What about you?

An unknown percentage have moved on to one genre. If you are part of the 92% like me who still listens to everything, copy and paste this.
