Looking for a GOOD GPU

[MEELAAY]

I'M really confused what GPU should I get for 1080p gaming (200$ range)... nvidia provides Gameworks and supports a lot of games in term of drivers.. and AMD is really good too .. and I don't know. should I get GTX 9xx or R9 3xx series.... Should I consider Gameworks ,physx,mfaa DSR and a lot more that nvidia has to offer ....

IMO AMD\NVIDIA is really a personal choice, unless you have a specific game you always play that has better drivers on one side or the other. At the $200 range I would go with a R9 380\GTX 960 and just pick up whatever you can find on sale for less

your only real options in this range is the gtx 960 and the r9 280x

get this one, it is cheaper than the 280x an it literally hass all 5 star reviews and there are 23 of them,

the next 3 280x's that are sold on newegg (1 is sold on ncix and is more than 215$ and only has 1 review) go like this
51% 5 star 43 reviews
65% 5 star 43 reviews
54% 5 star 184 reviews
and then you start getting into the 250$ price range which still has bad reviews.

the 280x has a bit more performance but it runs hotter and consumes more power and has less driver updates and has really bad reviews so its clearly unreliable.

P.S. im not a fanboy i advocate for the 390 over the 970 but i think the choice is clear here

If you mention the games you usually play, we may recommend the gpu that those titles favor. You may also consider the r9 280, which should go for around $170ish. Make sure your psu can run whichever gpu you choose.

Games like farcry 4, witcher 3 do favor Nvidia in terms of performance. The witcher 3, like many Nvidia Gameworks titles, comes with exclusive settings available only on Nvidia cards. GTA V, another popular title, also performs better on Nvidia.
