So i recently found out that i dont need more VRAM or stream processors to play games that i play. So should i get another Strix GTX 960 2G OC edition then OC it to match my OC or get an 970, R9 390x or 980Ti. In your opinion which GPU should i get? The Strix card - 960 has very good cooling and spacing on my motherboard allows them to have 1 slot between them. Thanks

 

PS: OFF TOPIC-Can someone help me with my thread in Audio forum

I would sell off the Strix and go for the highest end card you could reasonably afford - I would suggest the 390/x.

Sig under construction.

You answered your own question in your post... Personally I'd upgrade to a 980ti because once I have one of those I won't really need to upgrade anything for a long ass time.

Sell it get the 390

I know that AMD cards suck in cooling because people set fan to AUTO and i would make fan curve which will be very high but i need to choose wich brand should i get? I think about STRIX 8GB version but if you can reccomend me card with highest clocks and OCing then i would love it (And if its real then i would go for card with AIO cooler on it)

Sapphire, MSI, Powercolor, and inno3d make the best AMD coolers. Sapphire being the best

ASUS and Gigabyte are good for nvidia only cooling wise.

They don't if you know which one to get which is basically anything not ASUS

Get the Sapphire Nitro it doesn't go over 72C and is noticeably the quietest AMD card

I would get an Sapphire brand 390

 

Ive found and thing that makes whole change here:

AMD Crossfire is able to stack VRAM and when i would buy and GIGABYTE R9 290x Gaming VGA 4GB and when i would need more VRAM then i would buy another one but arent AMD cards power hungry? Then i would consider an EVGA GeForce GTX980 Ti Hybrid or an 970 which i would buy and MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G and find a way to attach and AIO cooler which will be compatible (NZXT Kraken G10) or make an custom loop with my CPU too. So what you think?
