#Help AMD or NVIDIA

[The-youri]

hi there ,

 

i always had nvidia cards (asus 560 TI and the msi 660tf)

now im upgrading  my gpu but im thinking of getting a 

Club 3D Radeon PokerSeries R9 290

 

what are the things im going to miss ( from nvidia )

and do you guys recommend AMD GPU'S

and do you recommend the brand Club 3D.

and is my PSU strong enough for the amd card 

 

thnx !

you are not missing much, you had low end nvidia cards so you coudlent use most of the tech.

 

club 3d is an above avarge board partner

 

and you should be fine with a 650watt psu with dedicated PCIe conecters( what do you have?)

1) Gamestream, Shadowplay, PhysX if you use them

2) Yes.

3) Don't know much, but people seem positive. Just read reviews.

4) Yes. (BeQuiet 630W in profile)

 

Is this the RoyalKing of RoyalAce from Club3D?

I fricken love AMD.  Not a huge fan of Club 3D, but that's my opinion.  Nvidia cards generally get lower thermals, and are able to use the PhysX technology on the GPU, and have many other technologies including G-Sync.  AMD has fantastic technologies as well, such as True Audio, bridgeless Crossfire, and Mantle.  AMD cards also usually have better overall compute performance.  Your PSU should be just fine, but I'd go with a little more if you plan to overclock (you should, considering it's a 290.
