Specific graphics card update

[patriotbarrow]

So I've gone and done a short clip for a fabrication company and they want to repay me with a moderately good graphics card. Which I need. Because a 4770 simply can't cut it.

 

Here are the choices available to me in my country. I have a strict budget and WILL NOT go over even if they bundle unicorns with every purchase.

 

Just gonna copy and paste stuff now:

 

• MSI AMD Radeon R9 270X OC Twin Frozr HAWK, 2048MB, GDDR5, 256bit, Military Class 4
• Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 OC PHANTOM II, 4096MB, GDDR5, 256bit
• Asus AMD Radeon R9 280 OC DirectCU II, 3072MB, GDDR5, 384bit
• Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 285 OC, 2048MB, GDDR5, 256bit

 

I have a bias towards AMD (you can tell) but I will buy the GTX 760 if it has serious advantages over its competitors.

 

I mostly want it for video editing. Gaming I don't have much time for anymore.

The Asus R9 280 is your best choice.

Nvidia cards are better for video editing due to the presence of CUDA cores

Im not too sure but it has something to do with adobe PP CC

That is really outdated information. The Mercury playback engine can use both CUDA and OpenCL. All modern AMD graphics cards are supported for on-the-fly rendering and final output.

Jesus I never bothered to check what the post looked like. Sorry for the formatting mess and thank you for the vote.

I have both a 280 (well, 7950 that I fried) and a 760.

 

the 280 will surpass the 760 in every way. I can't stress that enough.

i bought a 280 oc strix couple days ago, pretty happy with its temps eventhough its the good old tahiti. alien isolation the gpu loads about 50% at 68-69 degrees C

edit: i play at 1080 maxed out

Alrighty. I'll send my preference over over to the head honcho. Thanks!

Never played that game. Pretty sure it can handle 1440p encoding well enough.
