The performance differences between non-reference cards are very negligible. Probably 1-3 FPS maximum. I would personally go with the MSI though. It has the same clock speeds as the Gigabyte model, It's quieter, and the MSI TWIN FROZR II cooler is outstanding.

For the upcoming NVIDIA Maxwell cards, would it be better to wait for the 20nm process coming out in Q4? How does performance benefit from smaller processes versus larger ones? Is it worth waiting until Q4 instead of just getting 28nm Maxwell in Q1? Also, has anyone heard any rumors on pricing...

Another thing, I already know all the facts behind the pros and cons in 770's vs. 780's. The fact is, I was choosing 770's the moment I saw how little the advantage was in 780's. I just want people's opinions on which they would choose.

Do NOT waste your money on a 4GB gtx 760. If you have the money to get the 4GB GTX 760, I suggest you go with the AMD MSI R9 280X. It performs almost as well as a GTX 770, at a price that you would like. If you really dont want AMD though, I would suggest getting the 2GB GTX 760.

So it's been a while since I've seen this discussed in the forums and due to the not so recent price drops, I've gotten a bit curious. I'm building a PC in the month of June next year and had planned on getting an Asus GTX 780. In my opinion, the card is the most beautiful card I've ever seen...

PLEASE HELP ME!!! So I've been looking to buy and build my own computer and I'm at a conundrum. I have two builds that I can choose from.\Both builds are quite radically different and offer different pros and cons but I'm hoping you guys can help me choose the right build! I know its a long...

Well, I would look up 7970 benchmarks, but I honestly just want to be precise about what I'm buying. I'm debating whether I should buy a 770 or 280x and I'm going to SLI the 770 at some point if I get it, so I want the exact numbers of each brand so I can make an accurate decision.

Ive been looking for a while, and I know the card is still relatively new, but has no one really tried crossfiring two R9 280Xs??? Does anyone know of any sites that have? NOTE: DO NOT refer me to a 280X 7970 crossfire benchmark PLEASE. I understand they are relatively the same, but still. I...

Hey everyone, THIS IS A LONG POST AS YOU CAN SEE SO BE READY I just got a new MSI GS70 laptop and so far I'm loving it, but there seems to be a small issue. Now, I'm not sure if this is just common in all laptops, but my CPU is a 4700HQ and the clock speeds seem very erratic. One moment it'll be...

So I'm getting an MSI GS 70 in the mail soon, and the GTX 765m that comes with it isnt really as powerful as I'd like it to be. To remedy this issue, I thought I'd read up on overclocking laptop GPU's but I'm still a bit hazy on the safety aspect. THE QUESTIONS: -If I get a good laptop...
