So, here are a few GPU's, roughly all in the same price range... say what you think is the best and would perform best in games! Bring REASONS too!

 

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 780 AMP! Edition 3GB GDDR5

 

PALiT GeForce GTX 780 SUPER JETSTREAM OC 3GB GDDR5

 

Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition 3GB

 

Here are the options, this is in my price range. 

I'm streaming every day, many AAA games, to entertain people and to get a hang of games that others are unable to play or want to see before they buy.

Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition 3GB

Because of the name.

 

All will be extremely similar - go for the best warranty/looks/reviews

 

But seriously, why not a brand like MSI, EVGA, ASUS, Gigabyte?

They all perform the same way... Best out of those options would probably be the ZOTAC (Quitest and coolest)

 

But this is better http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-msi-radeon-r9-290x-twin-frozr-iv-28nm-5000mhz-gddr5-gpu-1040mhz-2816-streams-dport-dvi-hdmi

Go for the one that has the highest mhz... I can't see the last link but the first link over the second so far...

 

Edit: Seen the last link, probably go for that one as it's the fastest.

they would all perform near exactly the same, might talk 1-5fps but who knows..

Exactly thats what I want to know. I watche some Hexus Crysis 3 Benchmarks and the ZOTAC card has done more FPS than the rest, including more than the TITAN and most of the very good GTX 780 Ti's.

 

Just ONE example.EVGA GTX 780 Ti http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/65217-evga-geforce-gtx-780-ti-classified/?page=5

                              ZOTAC 780  http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/59857-zotac-geforce-gtx-780-amp-edition-updated/?page=6

Also watch the rest of benchmarks, that ZOTAC is huge.

Why would that be the best?

290x beats the 780 in performance.

You got some reasoning behind that? Some benchmarks to compare the two cards maybe?

May I suggest an R9 290 instead? Cheaper than the 780 and performs better.

I know it might be better, however it still produces less FPS in games, and I watched thousands of benchmarks already. I will put my vote with the 780, more reliable also. I have an AMD now, it did well but I want to go for the Green Team this time, but thanks!

Just adding that I have one myself and I'm very satisfied :)

Alright, I might consider it.

 

@Sauron The MSI Radeon R9 290X would be a GTX 780 Ti category? Since its basically the same price as the iChill card. What do you say?

The 290x is inbetween the 780 and 780ti in performance. It's a better choice than a 780 if the price is the same. I still think with a 290 you're getting more value, but the 290x grants you a little more performance. Overclocked it can easily beat a stock 780ti, but of course those can be overclocked too.

Well that Inno 3D card is already like a stock 780 Ti out of the box basically, hence I would go for it. Thanks for your input I will consider AMD too perhaps.

Seems the 290 is just as fast or faster than the 780 in most games, with higher minimum frame rates in games.

If I get a 780, it will be the Inno 3D iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ Ultra DHS Edition which is a stock 780 Ti in fairness :P

Those benchmarks make no fucking sense what so ever. Try any other benchmarks and you will see the 780 ti pull away way further than the 780. 290 and the 780 are the same thing, they trade blows in different games. Pick the one that performs better in your game.

I would really do the 290 or 290x but if you really must do Nvidia i would get the Palit, that cooler look beast.

 

EDIT

 

Take a look at this i have no idea what they are saying my look at the top right and left corners for the FPS

Hmm, yeah, but the GTX 780 that I would get is pretty much a 780 Ti performance wise and is a lot cheaper. Its roughly the same price and I might as well go for it.
