Hello everyone, i was wondering what card to get , my budget is 300 usd.

I do a lot of video transcoding and i need some extra power, so if you can give my your recommendations that would be great.

Also, I am overwhelmed by the different brands, amd , nvidia, so if you could help, thanks

Thanks

I would say the GTX 770 or AMD R9 280, 285 and 280x are out of the question for me because of their stability and poor reliability.

What is your build?

AMD A8-6600K Richland Quad-Core 3.9GHz

Fatal1ty FM2A88X+ Killer

500 watt Evga Bronze

I am upgrading to a 750 watt Gold Psu.

 

I just need something that will work and wont break the bank, I can stretch my budget to 350 if that means i can get something better.

I don't have a 1440p monitor, so 1080p for me, if i get the gtx 760 2gb or 4gb, same with the 770?

I just looked online, would this be easier than getting 2 760's?

well yes that's if you want it for future games/getting a higher monitor if that's the case it would be best without having to deal with the sli problems that might arise
