Choosing a good GPU

[Master Jimbob]

Hey there everyone, Im a newbie and do not have a lot of experience about choosing suitable parts according to my needs. I need a GPU to run minecraft at high fps even with the best of the best, most resource demanding texture packs and shader packs. Most people have been saying that the 980ti was too overkill and a waste of money. I also need the GPU to be good at rendering and 4k editing. Im gonna use the 6700k BTW.

The R9 390 will be a great GPU to go with. Unless you need NVIDIA features; then you'd want the GTX 970

 

I'd recommend the MSI Twin Frozr of either card

980ti is a good choice honestly, i have it with a 4790k and at 32 chunks i only get like 70 fps, so with shaders, go for the 980ti IMO

Well, if you have the budget, honestly I'd say go with the 980 ti. If not, the 390x or Fury X will also be good (better than the 390 / 970)

Isn't Minecraft mainly CPU bound?

to a certain extent yes but also it uses alot of GPU when it has to render alot of chunks

IDK but if it is, I guess the 6700k should do the job

Shaders certainly make it more GPU intensive.

A good GPU helps in any case.

Yes I wanna rush the SEUS Ultra Motion Blur. BTW I am on a Macbook air with Intel HD 5000 Graphics and even the "Lagless Shaders" ran at like 5fps. Remember, I wanna to 4k editing/rendering etc on my rig.

Plus MC will be at ultra settings, highest res.

Let's say for minecraft at high settings and for saving money, I recommend GTX 750 / 760

High settings @ 4k with reasonable shaders?

Ou 4K didn't see that, well then i will say 2/3x GTX 980

OMG that is really wallet digging. Wouldn't it be better (and cheaper) to get a 980ti or titan X BTW, i only have 1 PCIe slot - my build is gonna be a mITX one.

Don't use Ti and Titan X will eat your money.. then use one 980 and not Ti

if you got a 6700k, you want a 980Ti to do it justice.

 

If you are planning to do SLI/Crossfire, then dont bother.

Oh hi everyone, I just came back from a piano lesson. I also wanna ask recommendations for the actual product and cooling, like ASUS Strix series, or the ASUS Matrix Series or MSI TwinFrozr or Gigabyte wind force etc. Please share experience. Thanks for all

Oh yea, I also wanna know more about water cooled GPUs like the corsair hydro gfx or the EVGA hybrid 980ti
