anyone that buys AMD is just asking for trouble. 90% of the time when a new game comes out and there are issues, they are exclusive to AMD cards.

nvidia + intel = winning combo.

take the fanboy glasses off

Exactly I have had AMD for about a year and a half, and the only game I had trouble with was Metro LL on the first day and AC3 (which to this day runs poorly). It happens to both, how was tomb raider or BF4 beta when they were released?

tomb raider and BF4 beta? both were/are fine... played them on day 1. no issues at all.

if you are referring to the TressFX gimmick in tombraider, why would i care about something that looks ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and destroys performance even on AMD cards?

Keep lying, it's amusing

AWWWWWW you mad that someone with an nvidia card is having a better experience than you?

you must own a lot of stock in AMD to be so defensive of them.

nvidia makes better products for slightly more money. get over it.

I've had plenty of game issues and driver issues with Nvidia. Usually the price difference is quite substantial too. There's an 80 dollar price difference between a 770 and 280 for example.

AMD is better for me since im not rich and i like to keep my money. If Nvidia makes a lambo for 2 million, AMD would make the GTR for 100k. We all know the gtr smokes the lambo.

congrats on having a better experience, im only an AMD card owner so my experience doesnt compare to yours. It must be like heaven for you, im jealous.

I've owned more intel/nvidia products than AMD in my life. You're on a nice roll here, fast track to exit

I ended up getting the 780 Classified instead. If the 290X comes out within 14 days and it's better I'll return the 780.

Congrats, bench it on firestrike and see how she blows! See if you can beat mine :)

I only buy Nvidia for the PC. Regardless, I can't think of too many games that require this much power.

I'm waiting for the GTX 880 next year, then I'll decide. I'm normally Green Team so I'll probably dodge AMD again.

why do you even care? nvidia is better, so what? it is more expensive, so if you cant afford it, just buy AMD. you will have more issues... but you paid less. good for you?

Yeah, because it's not like nvidia recently released a driver that were complete crap causing artifacts and was linked to killing GPUs? oh wait, they did.

oh really? cause i have always updated my drivers and my GPU is running just fine.... so clearly.... no problem.

2 peoples GPU died after a driver update and suddenly "everyones GPUs are dying"

apparently you dont seem to understand that the internet is full of bullshit. your posts are perfect examples.

There are more than two burnt GPUs e.g. users for NVIDIA R320.00 BETA and users for NVIDIA 196.75 WHQL.

You then have an entire flawed Geforce 8xx0 mobiles with black screen of death.

^Yeah Nvidia drivers have been pretty crap the last few months. I had big problems getting my 780 to work, it kept freezing and my PC locked up when uninstalling Nvidia drivers.

^yep. I had a laptop with a 8xxx series GPU and I had to have the whole motherboard replaced, twice because the gpu kept burning out.

And I have a GTX 670, and the 320.18 drivers caused severe artifacting.
