What are the biggest benefits from jumping to Nvidia?

PlayStation 2

Welp, the title says it all. I wanna hear the big benefits, one that would make a hard-headed spic like me go from AMD to Nvidia.

 

But please, no flaming. I actually wanna hear benefits, and not flames for being curious.

Game stream, and CUDA core support are basically the only things AMD doesn't have an answer for

ShadowPlay.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

The main advantage in my opinion is the lower freaking power draw. The 970 takes like half the power of a 290x

not exactly - more like 70%

to game or not to game, that`s the question

probably shadow play and general better game support cuz of nvidia bs works, other than that, I don't miss anything.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

You're telling me. 750 Ti vs. HD 7850, that bitch uses twice as much power. But it's not a big bite from a CX600M.

My R9 270 only needs one 6-pin, I haven't seen anything from NVIDIA that only needs a 4-pin

drivers pretty much, however a lot of the upcoming dx12 games are going to be AMD, the only reason I have a 970 is that I wanted to get MGS:V at the time and it's considerably cheaper if you get the game "free" with the GPU. 390 is pretty much always more as you don't get the free game.

145w vs 300w TDP?

TDP =/= Power Draw

physx sure is nice (if its one of those games with a toggleable physx setting) assuming your card is strong enough for it.

 

mafia 2 still has some of my favorite physics effects.
