Revealed: Nvidia's Next Flagship Graphics Card, the GTX 980Ti

@strangerzzzzz: 970: $330.. this card alone can play witcher 3 on 60fps and far more powerful than PS4. and it isn't cheap? *rolleyes*

@Keivz_basic: Myrtle Beach rules!!! People must get out of their home and play outside.

Play on computer and consoles can make big problems to people's eyes. Amen!

@Renegade__angel: I recommend EVGA, Seasonic power supplies.

Don't buy Corsair, because have high failure rate and destroy your motherboard at all cost!

@Renegade__angel: Go Corsair, Good brand that has given me no issues. I use a 600M, My daughter's PC has a Corsair, along with my friend and 3 of his brothers, They're fairly priced for around $70 for a 600w and they make up to 1000w, they also they go on sale alot at newegg

@TheJamin: LOL, SLi/XFIRE doesn't even work in half of the games properly.

@TheJamin: 970

@saganage: AMd is junk, driver never release. Every time a new game is out it doesnt work right. Than AMD fan girls cry and complain how Nvidia sabotage AMD. Buy AMD and dont cry when shit doesnt work. Just like Witcher 3 right now, hairworks is superior to TressFX. if you see the hair physic on TressFX it look block of clay flapping around. When a game is being Develop, Nvidia sent their Gameworks team out to help optimize the game. AMD is too broke to do that.

AMD has gpu's and cpu's that look good on paper, but are usually poorly optimized. It doesn't help that nvidia and Microsoft work together a lot more than they do with AMD. I have a mobile AMD gpu, and would never buy their stuff again. Poorly optimized, and generates heat faster than a toaster.

@saganage: There's no true answer to that question. You'll have responses from both camps. It's like asking if Xbox One or PS4 is better (you've probably seen all console wars back and forth on these comment sections). Best I could say is that AMD cards usually give you more processing power per dollar spent over Nvidia cards, but because they use more power to run, you'll need a bigger power supply. The money saved is just transferred to the power supply. If you power supply is already strong, then the AMD will give you better bang for your buck.

If you buy games as soon as they are released, Nvidia usually have optimizations and driver updates that come out sooner than AMD.

I ended up with a AMD MSI 270x and have been happy with it. It's a mid range card, but can handle most games at 1080p near max settings.

@saganage: Biggest difference is drivers, Nvidia gets them out better and faster, AMD takes a bit longer to get out proper drivers.

@saganage: Nvidia is better and more popular, like if AMD is Pepsi and Nvidia is Coca-cola, plus there are some games that have issues working with AMD cards

@jdkillustration: Who the hell is going to buy a 3.5 GB + 0.5 GB VRAM that is 8 times slower than the first 3.5 GB?

@spikepigeo: yeah that upgrade would be largely pointless but then some people have expendable income
