    Lampenboy got a reaction from Praesi in Freesync vs Gsync?   
    Freesync/G-Sync is like 144hz/Mechanical Keyboards/Good Headphones/IPS Displays.
    You don't realise how much you miss it until you actually experienced it.

    Lampenboy got a reaction from Technous285 in I made a shitty Flowchart to help decide between the 970 and the 390.   
    Oy,
     
    since the 390 vs 970 threads are getting more and more each day, I used the last 30 minutes to make a messy and ugly Flowchart comparing the two.
    I used this thread as refference/source.
     

     
    Some basic bonus advice if you're going for the 390:
    Get a Sapphire one if you want things to be cool an quiet Get a MSI one if you want the fastest 390 (Especially when oc'd) Get a XFX/Powercolor one if you want a combination of the above. Most 390 are long ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) cards, see if they even fit in your case. Some basic bonus advice if you're going for the 970:
    EVGA is generally the best option for Nvidia cards, due to their large variety in 970 cards and their GODLIKE rma service. OC it. Why leave out on free performance?  
    Hope you like it.

    Wasn't trying to compare them, went from best to worst.
    Well it is a shitty Flowchart after all
    But it's very hard to notice things like that, since you get a tunnel vision when checking your own stuff.

    Lampenboy got a reaction from Dabombinable in Amd vs Nvidia   
    Op says he doesn't want to start a flamewar and rather a good discussion, proceeds to be the most biased person in the thread.

    390 Nitro here, plays demanding games (Witcher 3) on 50-60Fps at high settings (not ultra tho). Coupled with Freesync and you'll still have a great experience.

    Lampenboy got a reaction from don_svetlio in Nvidia + GSync and AMD + FreeSync system build comparison   
    G-Sync monitors are usually about 150$-200$ more expensive than their AMD equivalent. If you were to build a system including the monitor with the same budget you could get a Fury (Nano) vs a 970...
     
     
    EDIT
     
    For refference:


     
    EDIT EDIT
     
    The difference between the ISP version of the monitors is even more insane,
    the MG279Q costs 580€
    the PG279Q costs 850€
    that's a straight 270€ increase in price...

    Lampenboy got a reaction from DrtyDiesel in Why does the asus x99 deluxe get such bad reviews?   
    I went for the Sabertooth instead of the Deluxe, it had everything I needed (not planning to do anything higher than 2xSLI / Xfire) and if it needs to be white, it's very easy to paint. Just take the "armor" off and start painting. Can't say anything bad about it so far (Got it for about a month now).

    550W is enough

    Sapphire is bae

    Cool and Quiet

    750W for CF is a bit tight but possible at stock clocks

    140fps is possible.

    1.) What brand and model 750W PSU?
    2.) MSI is also a good brand.
    3.) AWESOME CARD, I will upgrade to the same one soon
    4.) 750W is enough for Crossfire if it is a good PSU.
    5.) Sure depending on the settings.
