Question About Gpu - Topic

Quote (Sking @ Feb 24 2015 09:34pm)
I play:

dark souls 2 (i play this the most, so i may play future games like it)
counter strike
civ 5 (cause the new one sucks)
dayz
diablo 3
diablo 2 (pretty sure i can run this on my phone lol)

I think thats it.

if dont need the 970 i wont get it. saving 100 would be nice lol

also, is the 960 better than the 670?

All of those games are pretty easy to run. The 960 is just a little better than the 670 and would be sufficient for all of those games.

I would find an R9 290 if you're looking for more performance, as they are a good chunk better. aim to pay 250-260, otherwise i wouldn't

this is agood deal only if you do the rebate.

No contest, especially when you get to the thermal and power req's

/e ....for 50-60 more bux, you get a vid card that won't suck the innards out of your power supply and won't turn you case into a space heater. GTX 970 for the win.

Thanks everyone for your input

I did some more research and went with the 970. Spent a little more than i wanted, but i think it will be worth it. Now i have to figure out what games i should play that demands a little more than my original games

/e

Went with Asus brand.
