So,which is better,for gaming?

[Mixu79]

Hi, which one would be better for playing, gtx 980 ti or, amd radeon rx 480?

im pretty sure the 980ti is stronger . but there might be games better optimized for the 480

980ti will play games at higher settings and higher fps. Get the 980ti. Only reason to get the 480 instead is if you get a FreeSync monitor.

GTX980ti is two tiers stronger on tom's gpu hierarchy chart.

980ti, not even a competition. Get a custom cooled 980ti if you can. They usually have 20% more performance than the reference 980ti

Unless you can get a 1070 non-reference GPU or 1080 instead. 1070 is 25% weaker than 980ti, 1080 is 10% stronger. At least compared to my G1 Gaming 980ti.

480 isn't even in the same category. More like 1060 performance I think.

No. That is not true. The 1070 is stronger than the 980ti. I'd guess around 5% overall. The 1080 is a bigger jump. If choices are rx 480 vs gtx 980ti. I'd get the 980ti easily. I use one to crush 1440p gaming.

Stop looking at shitty benchmarks made to sell the new generation. The 980ti that I had was above any 980ti they mentioned in benchmarks. Non reference 980ti was 20-30% above the reference 980ti easily. My 980ti with the same settings I saw in their benchmarks, with an old 4770k at 4.0 Ghz, was very close to 1080. And way above 1070.

It was so good it was easy to sell it so I can't compare it anymore. But if you get a 1 year old 980ti non-reference card for half price, it will be better than a 1070. The only downside is 100W more power consumption.

Did tou mean titan x?

Custom non-reference 980ti like strix, g1 and kingpin are stronger than reference titan x.
