So I'm going for the HD6790. But I'm stuck in choosing which brand to get. HIS or Sapphire? Is there any difference? Which one's faster? Also, on galaxy.pk, the Sapphire one is for 15.2k and the HIS one is for 14.8k. Why is there a price difference as they're the same gpu? :/

brands do differ from each other. Sapphire is relatively a better brand than HIS hence the higher price. sometimes the difference is also due to the clock speeds and cooling design etc.

Well the Sapphire does have a bigger fan in the middle and even looks much better than the HIS version.
There's a guy who bought the HIS 6790 and honestly, it didn't look that all good.

Then there's another guy who got a 6790 of XFX and that's pretty good with dual-fan's:

If you have a budget issue, then sure u can go for the HIS one, otherwise just for 400rps more, you should get something better and unique :)

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
