Hey,...

 

It depends on your use...

 

If you're just about gaming then the AMD is the best... And they are Cheap also... You can get more than NVidia in the same price in AMD...

 

But, If you're about to do other stuff like Video Editing, Rendering, etc... then It's the Nvidia... That support all these functions better than AMD...

Also there driver support is also very good...

 

So, If your gonna use Video Editing, Rendering, etc... Stuff like that I would suggest you within $250 a GTX 750Ti or 760...

 

Make your choice...

 

Tell Me what your final choice...

I want to get a new GPU so my games will run better at 1080p (My 650 can do it but some times i get bad frame drops). What GPU would go best with my pc? I don't really mind as long as it can game at 1080p with med-high setting @ 60fps+

 

My Rig:

CPU: AMD FX-6300

GPU ASUS 650 GTX 1GB

Ram: 20gb @ 1600mhz (Why i have this much ram i do not know but i like it)

OS drive: Samsung 120gb SSD

Game Drive: 1TB WD blue

Program Drive: 500gb WD blue

Back up/Media Drive: 2TB WD Green

PSU: 550w .... i forget the rest -_-

 

Thank you for your help people <3

R9 280/285 or equivalent Nvidia Product.

Perfect.

Ultra without AA

High with Light AA

Not every game, but most.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I'd say a 760,maybe you can find a 770 in that price range. A 280 would be better than a 760 but night be a bit hard to run with a 550W PSU. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. There's also the 285.

Not really big on video editing so it looks like AMD wins :D  Thank you for your help

Amd still has accelerated video encoding.

One of my vids weeks ago I used both Cpu and Gpu to compare times.

Outputting a 1080p file on the Cpu 55mins

Same file same settings on Gpu is 8mins.
