I would get the r9 280x but the reason I don't is because it doesn't fully support directx 12. The new cards like the r9 380 and gtx 960 do.

I am about to build a gaming rig and I don't know which gpu I should go with. My budget is $220. I play games like far cry 4, cod, bf4, fallout with mods, gta 5, cs:go, cod waw custom zombie maps, on 1080p medium/ultra. Power is not a big deal and I am looking to have this for about 2 years...

Should I go with the r9 285 or 380. Is what it comes down to.

So if the r9 380 is a rebranded r9 285 with higher clock speeds why would the r9 380 have more directx 12 support?

About a week and half ago I was going to buy the gigabyte r9 285 for $170 after rebate but since the new 300 series was coming out I decided to wait. I know the r9 380 is a rebrand r9 285 with a higher clock speed. I was wondering if it would be worth it to squeeze in the extra $30. I want to...

Ok, but just out of these three cards which will last me 1080p ultra/medium for at least 2 years.

In shadow of mordor the 4gb on the r7 370 beats the r9 380 2gb. I'm not getting the gtx 960 because of the 128bit bus and it is not as fast as the r9 380 in 90% of games. So would the extra $30 be worth it the Grab the r9 380 or save the money and go with a r9 285. What does the r9 380 have that...

I'm looking to buy a gpu very soon. My budget is around $200. I will be looking to have it for about 2 years. I know the r9 380 is a rebrand r9 285 but is it worth spending the extra $30 to get the same thing oc just a bit? But then there is the r7 370 4gb which has an extra 2gb or vram. The Gtx...

Since the r9 280 has an extra gb of vram and a 384bit bus will it be more futureproof. I'm looking to have good 1080p a graphics card for 2-3 Years. Will the gtx 960 be able last that long?

So if i do get the gtx 960 because it runs cooler and consumes less power and all the options of nvidia Shield devices will the 128 bit bus make the gtx 960 not "future proof"?

I will be building a $600 dollar gaming rig soon. Which card is better for cod, bf4, witcher 3, etc. I can get a r9 285 for $170 after mail in rebate and a gtx 960 for $185. A r9 280x is too much money right now. So which card will outperform the other? Thank you in advance.
