Mr.Foxx

I decided that, when I got my pament I'll just put those 2 card name in a randomizer and wich one shows up, I'll buy that :DDD +I'm a little bit less nervous about the drivers now thanks to you

Thank you guys! Helps me a lot

Hello guys! So I know there is a million post about the 960vs R9 380 around the internet, but none of that answered my true question. I'm plannig to buy a new graphics card that replaces my old friend GTX550Ti and I cant decide. I do seen a lot of performance and FPS test both of this cards and that 5-10 FPS is not really a big deal for me but I have some questions about, basically the good old AMD vs NVIDIA thing. I'd like to say I don't want to look like a fanboy, I found pros & cons about each card. So first of all, in the past 8-10 years I had a lot of problems with AMD things. I HATE THEIR DRIVERS.... I never had so much struggle with anything like those Cataclyst (sm) drivers. I mean you had to find a driver for like each games you wanted to play because each one was optimized for another... that was so annoying, and also a lot of my friends changed to NVDIA because of this. The reason why I'm talkin in past tense, I don't really know is that still an issue or not. Their getting better with drivers or it's about the same? I really don't want to struggle with those again and I read a couple of worrisome news about drivers that actually killed some AMD cards because they accidentaly turned off the fans on the card. And allso I never seen an NVDIA card failing in my envrionment but I had an AMD card that failed on me, and I watched with my friend when his (Sapphire) HD6570's memorychips slowly and painfully died. In the other hand I don't really like NVIDIA's agressive marketing and they just want to monopolizing the market. The Geforce experince is a crap, I hate it, however the drivers were allways fine for me and they do care a lot about optimizing a driver for an actual new game and at the same time you don't have to switch back to a 2 year old driver for an older game. So there's a bitter taste in my mouth about switching back to AMD but as I mentioned I don't want to be a fanboy and I'm open for starting over with the red side, if they do it better now. Also like that the R9 380 have 256bit bandwith insted of 960's 128bit. I found it an important thing. But allso the 960 has CUDA and PhysX. I allso noticed that I play more games that has "the NVIDIA" logo, so I don't know can it be a problem for me. I remember when I had to find somehow a physx.dll that wasn't caused BSOD.... Now summarizing those things, what do you say, should I switch back to AMD happily or NVIDIA still a reliable and much "painless" solution for me? Thank you !
