Campaigns in From Dust are structured as a sequence of missions, whereby completing certain objectives expedites the tribe's progress and bestows additional powers, such as the capacity to jellify water. Tribal shamans alert the player to natural disasters, notably tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, shortly before they occur. These disasters can be inhibited through creative, physical manipulation of the environment: a tsunami can be jellified, wildfires extinguished, and lava flows diverted.
We are including this game today as it is one of the best indie games we have played in recent years.
No problems powering this relatively modest engine, averaging around 30 frames per second and dropping to 27 frames per second during a volcano eruption.
The design is great, I love passive cards and am willing to forgo a little performance. I must be really sensitive against fan noise as even my system with bequiet fans annoys me. im going to check this out. thanks.
I really do like this, if they could get the price down by £15 it would be a must have IMO
Its a bit weak for my needs, but I can see why people would like the whole ‘no noise’ deal. there aren’t enough silent cards made. Wonder if they could ever get a 6870 silent. I might opt for that one.
I own a HD5770 and I saw this today, im impressed with the cooler. have my own card on ebay now, hopefully can fund for half of this one for my media/main pc.
Interesting to see how such a low end card by todays standards can still power many engines at 1080p. As the reviewer said this was never possible in the past. 720p was a stretch.
Good read. cooler is very strong by the results also.
Not really my thing, but my friend would be into this as he is always bitchin about noise from his computer. he spent £30 on high quality case fans recently. I can’t tell the difference but he is happy.
Well… this is embarrassing. The Gigabyte branding would be upside down if this card were mounted in a conventional tower chassis, I was really interested in the card until I noticed this. I’m mildly OCD so that would be unbearable to live with (I have a windowed Chassis).
Hopefully they sort that out.
@Trevor, wouldn’t you be better off just getting a custom cooler for your 5770? Seeing as 5770s and 6770s are virtually identical it would save you some money.
