To be fair, Im pretty sure both AMD and Nvidia pay developers to screw over the other company :P

Eh, while I do agree you have to admit Tress FX does not impose nearly as big of a performance hit compared to Hairworks and works fine even on my 860M

Im not saying Fallout 4 Is the best engine, but Nvidia DOES perform better In this game. Theres an Issue with AMD In this game, but Im sure It will be fixed eventually.

You are suggesting someone buy Nvidia because of a broken game. I would say people shoudnt behave like crack addicts, but fallout fanboys seem unreasonable.

Watch one of Digital Foundry's videos and you will know this Is fake...

 

you mean all these? 

 

Spoiler

 

Dude..... Not trusting Maximum PC is fine, but look at the damn dates. Those vids came out in 9-11 nov. Crimson or 15.11.1 came out quite a few weeks later. Please tell me you simply overlooked that part and assumed Maximum PC posted fake benchmarks 

 

oc3d also had results that were pretty similar...

This isn't really an argument to go for Nvidia over AMD. Star Wars: Battlefront massively favours AMD hardware. There are a whole slew of games which prefer one of the vendors, it's just something we have to deal with rather than try to use it as part of this silly argument.

OP, the GTX 970 is a good card. The fact that people are claiming that the 390 is THAT much better are clearly delusional. Don't get me wrong, it is faster, and will bitch slap the 970 once DX12 titles start rolling around. 

I used a GTX 970 at 1440p and it performed very well assuming you don't mind running at super duper ultra settings. The increase in resolution more than makes up for it running at high. AA also isn't going to happen with a 970, it's too much for the card to handle (which is, again, tackled somewhat by running at a higher resolution). I would recommend the R9 390, but if you must have Nvidia, the GTX 970 also isn't a bad shout. The GTX 980 doesn't represent a good value for money.
