So my msi gtx 560ti just died, almost 4yrs old card. I wasnt planning to upgrade for another 2-3 years. I did a bit of research, i could go the cheaper gtx 750ti(~150$) or gtx 970(~350$) and yes i like nvidia better than amd/ati. I know those 2 cards are completely 2 animals/worlds apart. But, i feel cheated if i go w/the gtx 750ti because 150$ for mere upgrade. Thats why i would prefer the gtx 970, more future proof and can plays almost everything max @ 1080p which the resolution im playing at.
-Side question, should i go back to the msi brand just because my previous one died so quickly? i know i can always msi temp/fan noise level.
-3 brands of gtx 970 i would consider if i do get one.
msi gtx 970 gaming 4g
asus strix gtx 970
gigabyte GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD
im tempted to go back to the msi T.T, for overall value if all of those cards are priced the same. i aslo like the asus strix because it looks good and it perform almost the same as the msi in terms of temp/noise and not too long like the gigabyte one. and the asus strix is the weakest in term of overclocking which i dont mind and i probably wont oc too high or at all.
sorry if this post is too long and thanks in advance.
