I know that the 390 is slightly better than the 970 but on the software side of things how does it stack up. Does amd have regular driver updates like nvidia I know they are coming out with the crimsion edition software but how well do they keep up with the latest game titles? I usually just go nvidia so I don't know much about Amd products.

Whichever is cheaper.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

Software is about equal, the only real feature nvidia can loom over AMD is shield stuff.

 

The 390 is still, just the all around better buy for your money.

AMD release about 1-2 drivers monthly
Nvidia release 2-3 from what I've heard.

Both are the same in terms of quality at the moment.

AFAIK the drives are pretty equal; nvidia does have shadowplay and gamestream though.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo
