GPU selection

Hi guys,

Wondering if it would be better for me going forward to pick up a GTX 970 or to go for a 780ti. I have found a few 780tis at similar prices to the 970 so just after some advice.

get a r9 390 if your power supply can handle it

970, or the R9-390 if you can.

What's the rest of you specs. I'd get a 390 unless youve got a Gsync monitor.

All these AMD fanboys, NVIDIA has features that some find very important. Like heat.

 

I'd go with the 970 as it more up to date. Even though the 780Ti might perform a bit better in some scenarios, it's better to have newer components.

no the r9 390 performs slightly faster and has 8GB of vram but of course if heat is a big concern and power draw then go with the 970 

recommending a gpu that delivers a better value is not fanboyism

For certain builds Nvidia is just a better option

yes thats why i said if your power supply can handle it

I have a msi z-97 krait, 4690k, 16gb g skill sniper with a flexible power supply. Probably going to go with a GTX as I have had a few and trust them tbh

ok then go with the 970 because from what ive heard the last generation nvidia cards are being neglected in driver optimization also just a little warning the 970 only has 3.5GB of vram at full speed but most games at 1080p should be fine just dont go too crazy on the skyrim mods

DONT GO FOR A 780ti IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A 970 IN MIND!!!! You get so much performance from the 970 over the 780ti, plus the 780ti only has 3Gbs of GDDR5 and the 970 4Gbs.     

 

Pls dont make that mistake... Is like buying an apple watch at release... :angry:  :angry:  :angry:
