Need a New Video Card. I need Advice


Recommended Posts

Looking to replace my GTX 570. I don't know which way to go. Nvidia or AMD. Budget is $550.00

Any suggestions?

My systems specs:

AMD FX 8150 8 core CPU

16 gigs DDR3 RAM HIGH SPEED

Asus Motherboard

Which card should I get? I will use it to play BF4 and COD AW

Its an easy win for the 970 as it runs cooler and with less power than the and equivalent while still beating it in the benchmarks. Why not a 980? Because the extra 20% approx increase isn't worth the price increase. You can always add another 970 in sli afterwards.

The R9 290 and GTX 970 are solid options in your price range. You probably don't need to spend anywhere near 550$ unless you're really into diminishing returns.

 

With the extra money you might want to consider upgrading your CPU eventually.

I'd go Nvidia as I cross over from AMD/ATI and it was interesting. this is the first system with and Nvidia card (Qosmio laptop) and I realized they bought Physx as well
