"The graphics card itself features reference clock speeds, 1 GB of GDDR5 memory and requires a constant internet connection to render."

Of all the games to throw in...wow...

 

[COLGeek]

Estix, are you referring to a GPU limitation or a game (SimCity) requirement in terms of rendering?

 

[NuclearShadow]

So basically it's the generic card with SimCity. The game that I was playing last night and watched about 50 moving trucks circle around 4 intersections endlessly causing massive traffic jams and caused my city to burn to the ground.
Why do you hate your consumer Sapphire?

Does it require an always-on internet connection to render frames?

I was making a joke, actually, but I was referring to what a Sim City-inspired GPU may have as DRM.

The card itself will not function fully for the first week you install it.

i see some troll masters!

so... how much does a 100 MHz increase on clock speeds cost?

Does this edition fix the game also?
@COLGeek, you completely missed an actual joke in what Estix said.

No I got it. Really didn't see the humor, but that is okay. Seems the trolling is over the game and not the GPU. As it is a freebie, the game shouldn't be a deal breaker of an otherwise okay device.

Too funny and too easy to respond. Sounds like a geat deal, but Im holding out for the MS Train Simulator or the John Dear Farm simulator edition. LMAO come on people, how about piggy backing a real game saphire. EX. BF4 or MECHWARRIOR or at least a game more than 1000 people play.

I think at this point bundling Sim City with a graphics card will have the opposite effect and dissuade people from buying it.

 

[Non-Euclidean]

It looks EA finally found a way to get SimCity's market share up.

 

[Thorfkin]

From what I understand, Sim City is not a game that would motivate anyone to buy a new video card, or APU, given all of the problems that have plagued the game.

 

[DarkSable]

Really AMD?
Usually you use games like, and want to buy. That's why it's an incentive.

 

[alidan]

to be 100% fair, the game still barely functions...
