with all this information going around about GPU's

i am thinking of geting a new card maybe next 6months or so depending if i can get a job soon
but anyway i am using 7870 which is a ok card but i feel like soon ill need a better card with all these new games coming out
whats really going on with these cards that i am hearing about nvidia and what AMD is trying to do
what i am trying to say it what is there to do when all these cards are being limited or not changed much from the pass cards

make your best guess i suppose based on what you need it for in performance gaming video editing ect.how deep your pockets are. the amd/nvidia thing will always be there an funny you should say most of the same issues

 

[archlord2k3]

yea from what i see they just trying some how to rip off ppl for little performance change

yup it the same old song an dance imo! but the newer cards are quite nice in the higher resolutions these days. my son still runs 2x7970's an they still kickn it. i'm running 2x290x's which i dont use 1/2 of most the time. but looking to see what the r9 380x or 390x? may bring

 

[archlord2k3]

yea thats a good card
i not not into much of the amd kinda picky but what base line does the r9 reference to if ur comparing them to ‪nvidia?

 

[Smudgy]

well i like both nvidia an amd but got a sweet deal on my 2 290x's there was no way to say no. what i find kinda unfair comparing a 290x against a gtx980 they are not in the same price class i would expect a gpu costing 100$ more to perform better just as i would any cpu thats a100$ more wouldnt you say?

heres a good comparison site though i find very useful you may like

sometimes its just the quality of the parts but it happens

that would be if the parts were the same to start with, and of different quality. I'm a mechanic
