Which gpu should I get(only NVIDIA!)

[RedLineGamer]

I am going to play games such as Dota 2, Minecraft, Project cars, Battlefield hardline, Star wars battlefront and Dying light at ultra 60fps 1080p. Don't know what to explain here. Which gpu should I take?

P.S. ONLY NVIDIA!

[Guest Generallee]

980

980

yeh,no a 970 is fine. 

[thekeemo]

whats your buget

I'm curious why nvidia only?

I'm curious why nvidia only?

I'm going out on a whim and I'm going to assume that it's  because they want ShadowPlay or GameStream.

Budget?

[RedLineGamer]

Radeon: power consumption, low oc headroom(I get $200 on power bills and radeon would add my bills, ugh)

[thekeemo]

Radeon: power consumption, low oc headroom(I get $200 on power bills and radeon would add my bills, ugh)

by like a $1 month?

or he doesn't know much and believes that NVIDIA is the best? Fanboying? (Although they are great)

[TheRandomness]

Radeon: power consumption, low oc headroom(I get $200 on power bills and radeon would add my bills, ugh)

Oh no! $3 more! Low OC headroom because Nvidia cut so much stuff of Maxwell to make lower power consumption and heat therefore ridiculous clocks.

I'd like to believe that fanboyism isn't the reason.

I would have to extend my budget if I get radeon. An 600w is out of my budget.

P.S. My budget for my pc build is $1035, and I don't wanna sacrifice skylake just for a radeon.

I'm not sure that Skylake will benefit you in any meaningful way. If you want to go with it though I guess I can't stop you.

It's not going to freaking drain your local power plant. I would understand this if you were to be upgrading and don't have the budget to buy a higher wattage PSU.

Rule of thumb: get the best bang of the buck for your price range, don't say "x team is better than y team", since it's usually false (GPU/CPU wise).

[Sauron]

Why must it be nvidia? An r9 390 is by far the best choice for what you want to achieve. If it MUST be nvidia for some reason, a 970 is decent.

[Arcanekitten]

To be honest i would go for a 4790k and a r9 390 if that suits your budget maybe even a fury IF it would fit but skylake is in my mind just not worth it for the price.

Radeon: power consumption, low oc headroom(I get $200 on power bills and radeon would add my bills, ugh)

I doubt 60W is gonna do much to a power bill, and every mhz does more with Radeon

But 980 would be the best option although 390X has a clear advantage in a game like Battlefront if that matters

[LeapFrogMasterRace]

Low oc headroom doesn't mean less performance a overclocked 390 is still just as good/better as a 970 with a retardedly high oc due to its better performance per clock and as others have said it's only $1 a month. Don't trust the other bs too like "shitty drivers" or "catches fire and burned my house down"

[Speed bump]

4-way AMD Fury x crossfire, nah.. joke!

a gtx 970 would be good for your needs, the fact you don't want a amd gpu makes the range of gpu's so much less you should consider asking yourself, WHY?!

[App4that]

Not sure how they got that reading but it's BS. If a 290 pulled 400w then I wouldn't be able to crossfire with a 750w PSU.

On topic, the answer is the same no matter the brand, the best you can afford.

Its total system so subtract ~150-200w for the CPU, ram etc

Ah, still high but makes more sense. Using an inline meter you usually see something in the high 200s to low 300s with a 290. Maybe that's a reference? I can confirm that the 390 pulls much less wattage, and runs much cooler than the 290 fitted with the best cooler even.
