Ok so i would like to say first is this is not a BATTLE OR SPAM!

 

                              But the main question is why did you choose your graphics card?

 

-Was there a reason?

-Lots of Vram?

-Looked smexy?

-Fit your system?

-Etc.

                                          Did you choose Nvidia or AMD?

                                          I personally like both company's

                                           

 

 

 

 

    *This thread sounded much better in my head*

The fans gave me wood. 

I like nVidia.

I like matte black things.

It also said "Superclocked" and "ACX 2.0", no clue what it is but still bought it.

I got my GPU (gtx 760) because of Geforce experience and the drivers in general. I am going to buy myself a shield tablet or a shield portable (my birthday is comming up soon) so I can game in my bed :D.

I got mine because of 2 reasons, it was (at the time) the 2nd most powerful GPU on the market (next to the R9-290X) and I wanted it to match my motherboard, and it needed to be a reference series card.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

You realistically don't need the Shield to game on your bed. Try this:

Cost/performance at the time, no longer the case. I wanted a back plate and very cool card that would last. I'm still not sure how I feel about the 3.5gb of v ram. It does everything I want, came from a a8 and before that a 7950gt so no matter what I did it was a upgrade. Also the fan on my microwave is louder than my gpu so it's a lot quieter than I thought.

I chose my gtx 980 windforce because

1. It's op

2. I wanted to play 4k games and I still do

3. I can afford it

Its when dragons have so much sex that the cpu cant handle it

I got me Asus r9 290, because the prices are low atm, there was a great deal on Amazon. 

 

And finally, I was going to water cool it, so their great pcb and components won me over, I also didn't need to worry about the stock cooler, (which I have to do something with now :P)

 

What About you @KRImSIN ? 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

I currently have a 780. Got it because my 6950 was lacking in performance.

Have thought of selling it to grab one or two 970's and use them for Folding.

they were the best in the market and the only decent non-reference 980 available here. Would've gone for two 290x's but all they have here were reference cards and I heard that the fan noise was a annoying
