nope but I see amd behind nvidia for too much time to think about going amd

All about personal preference.

 

Some people prefer to have the "cooler" card, card that can perform and having a better temp on it. They will choose Nvidia. Nvidia is the king when it comes to GPU. Their cards are always faster, and more people will buy their products because their marketing is good. Their card can outperform AMD's card and yet , have a lower temperature while doing it.  So you may ask, better power efficiency , better cooler design (more aftermarket cooler you can choose from), more powerful card , what's the catch???  Price. Especially when you had your eyes on the high end products. Because of AMD cannot/have not yet come up with some high end gpu in the recent years that can out perform nvidia, nvidia is charging their higher end product a lot more than they "should". But again, remember there is nothing wrong with company making profit.

 

 

Others prefer AMD's card cos amd's card tend to perform better over the years, while Nvidia's card is the opposite.

You may ask how is that possible???? Drivers. Nvidia will not update their drivers for old cards. For example, you have a GTX970, and you will find that over time your card's performance will keep increasing, that is because the newer driver you download are optimised for your card. However I am a GTX780 user, what I will find is that compare to other cards, my card is not gaining any more performance. All the other cards are going faster but my GTX780 is standing still. That is what people called :"gimping". This sort of thing will happen to BOTH AMD and Nvidia's cards. But Nvidia is famous for it. You cannot blame them for doing this. Otherwise no one will buy the new cards and the technology is never gonna improve. I was using a GTX780. When GTX970 comes out the two cards almost perform the same, in some older title like bf4, the 780 has its small edge. Right now 780 is performing worse than 970. Just an example. 

 

 

My last gpu died, a week ago, a GTX780. So I bought a RX480. Nothing against nvidia, it is just that I wanna give amd a try.

I said you looked sure of urself so you should be right !

Didn't say you were wrong sory i got bad english

I didn't check the benchmark at that time, can't say !

780 and 780ti were beasts cards tho !!!

 

Im in looove with thee.... paaascal cards

[smokefest]

And 970 was in my opinion one of the biggest fail of Nvidia, sure was a good card, but that 3.5 gb was a riip off , false advertisement, and disappointing

This should give you a general look of how they compare. Mind you it's a Fury X since they don't have a Fury listed, so take away 5% and that's pretty much it.

my 970 was struggeling in rise of the tomb raider, i bought a 1070 and cant be more happy, 90 fps all maxed tomb raider with MSAA anti aliasing, obviously 2XSSAA and more makes me lag like crazy super sampling too op !!

just placed an order for the 1060

Noice~

Worth nothing if you didn't know already the Sapphire Fury is only $260 rn through newegg, Which I think makes it a real competitor to the 1060 especially with DX12 and stuff.
