New GPU

I have come to the decision that my gpu(960) needs to be upgraded for a better experience. Here are a list of the gpu's that I have decided.

 

Note that the cheaper the better, don't wanna sell my kidney.

 

980

980 ti

fury

390

 

I'm leaning towards the 980 but don't really want it because most ppl either go for the 390 or straight up 980 ti. For the 980 I haven't decided which brand yet though. I would like a company that puts backplates on their gpu's

Specs: i7-4790k with Thermaltake Water 3.0, EVGA GTX 970, MSI Z97 Gaming 3, Kingston HyperX 2x8 DDR3 1600Mhz, SSD Boot Drive/1TB HD, CM Storm Stryker, EVGA Supernova G2 750W

Peripherals: SS Rival, HyperX Cloud, G710+

Fury. near 980ti performance for 980 price.

lol wut? The 980ti out performs every card under the sun. The Fury, Fury X, and Fury Nano are all bad choices for cards. Go with the 980ti.

I said near. Not beat. Not to mention it costs about the same as a 980.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Back on topic. What monitor do you have so as not to be powering a lawnmower with a V8...

If anyone asks you never saw me.

It's not near, the 980ti beats the Fury X by a mile and the Fury isn't nearly as good as the Fury X.

how about this. Its right in between a 980 and a 980ti for the price of a 980 http://www.anandtech.com/show/9421/the-amd-radeon-r9-fury-review-feat-sapphire-asus/5

R9 390X if you aren't invested into nVidia infrastructure at all, or perhaps Fury depending on resolution.  If you have buy in to nVidia infrastructure (Shield, G-Sync, etc) then honestly a GTX 980 is a very capable card, although yes most people sell that kidney to jump to the Ti.  

 

Personally I feel if you're jumping from a 960, might as well go 980Ti.  Sell the 960 for what you can and go from there.  The other cards in questions are all upgrades, but I wonder if you'll be sitting there going "Hmmm, well this was kind of a moderate upgrade, I should have gone 980Ti."

+1 to this. Go nvidia, less heat, less power consumption, wayyy better driver support

Sorry for the late reply. The main upgrade is to balance my build out. Since when I first built this pc I had a 4790k and a 960. Obviously the build is way unbalanced. So right now I'm trying to balance the build out with an equally powerful GPU. Monitor is 1080p 144hz

well if you're after balance a 390 is the way to go. It will match the monitor the best. If you want to get the strongest GPU your CPU will power go for the 980ti. In your place if I had the choice I would go 980ti.

the 980 ti is a bit out of my budget but I have patience. I heard its also better to wait for the pascal series to come out. Or the arctic islands. But I'm just looking for balance.

 

The reason as to why I want balance so much is because when someone asks me my specs. It'll be awkward af to say oh yeah, 4790k and 960 :/.

Can I ask what graphics card should I go for an upgrade?

Asus A58M-E Mobo

A10-7700k APU

2x4gb 1866 G.Skills RAM

 

Planning to disable my iGPU to get a GPU. Thinking of a MSI GTX 750 TwinFrzr 1gb DDR5.

Questions

Will the upgrade worth it?

Will the GTX750 do better than my previous iGPU?

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm a newbie at this topic so hoping any response. Thanks!

Btw I do play some games like Dota2, MGS etc. i only get 40-45fps in medium settings

Wrong thread.

For your monitor, a 390 would be the best. A fury would be cool, and beat the 980. If you want a card that will last quite a while but won't cost that kidney, get a Fury. 980ti is way too OP for a 1080p setup.
