which gpu would be the best route to go? the geforce gtx 750, or the raedon r7 260x. taking into account amds crappy drivers and the fact that alot of people get black screens. i dont really do to much series gaming. nothing thats probably to damanding, so i dont need an expensive one, i just want one for the price range these two are in that its the better one with less problems that will do what i need it to now. i will upgrade later if i find games i want to play that demand more. but for now, the gtx 750 or the 260x? ik the 750ti is better that the 750, but out of budget. lol

I believe you can get an r9 270 for about the same price as the 750.  get that bro

 

I don't exactly know what you are referring to with the whole black screen thing tho...

265 or 270 will be the best choice. Much better to wait and get one of those 2 instead. But if you want to know the 260x is better then the 750

For lower end cards I always go for amd, R9 270 or a 260x is a great pick. But a quick insight on what your pc build is, would be great so that we can give possibly better suggestions.

What is your budget?

Just a quick browse on Newegg the Zotac GTX 750TI goes for $119.99. If you can't swing for the 750TI, I also recommend the R7 260X over the GTX 750.

Crappy drivers? I think they're pretty good now.

AMD drivers are fine. I don't know where you've heard bad things about them... Get the 260x, 270 if you can afford it.

ive read alot of forums where people were saying that the 260x was giving them black screens and that the amd drivers werent that good, dont know how old the post was. and i was thinking the ti or the 260x but those are like the tip of my budget, well actually a little bit over, and i cant really wait bc my cpu requires a gpu and i want to get everything b4 the thirty day period is up on the products just incase i need to rma any of them. and below is a link to my build.

i know that the 260x is better than the 750, but like i said, i dont do alot of hard gaming at the moment, but neither do i wanna buy a shitty gpu just to have one for what i do now. and i still am a little concerned about the whole drivers issue. so basically, until i can actually afford it, and can be sure that the driver issue is fixed, its basically down to the 750 and the 750ti, which between those two, ik the ti has 2gb vs the one, and a few of the specs are different, but it didnt really look all that much different. and the ti is about the same price as the 260x but even that is actually over budget right now. i can always upgrade later if need be. also i did find a superclocked version of the 750, so that has to be a little bit better than just the normal 750 right? i mean i am leaning more towards the 750 atm, and i just wanna know if there are in fact alot of major differences btw that and the ti or if there are just a couple minor ones.
