In my opinion, AMD's GPUs have good colors ( Black, White ). Black is really black. White is really white. I want to call it Mr color. XD

So I took AMD products ( XXXXX=R9 290 ). I don't hate NVIDIA tho. GTX760 was good cost-performance. To play osu! is great enough...
Sure looks like quality conversations to me :^)

Either that or your "standards" suddenly took a heavy dip.

Wow that TDP on the 295x2 is insane. No wonder it needs a liquid cooler, holy shit.

I kept up to date with GPUs when I built my PC a while ago, I think my observation was that AMD card were much better for their price than Nvidia, although Nvidia was the leader when it came to top end cards. I think that's still true.

this is relevant for the reference 290s now. Nvidia is nice and cool.

did you guys know that even if someone changed his name, the ignore function still tracks them? fascinating.

this proves that peppy once knew how to do webdesign.

NVIDIA has more utilities, shadowplay might be a gamebreaker, but MSI afterburner works fine too.
then again optimus screws up on linux, so its really hard to choose.

The Conclusion is ; Both brands have it's pros and cons. Which brand you choose depends on what you use. Shopping for graphics card can be difficult due to ammount of "FEATURES" there is for each brand...


Life of consumer heh...

CUDA OP.

Cuda (and OpenCL) is only good for stuff thats easily parallelizable, since GPUs are all about tons of weak cores.

Plus I wouldn't really called a closed API a selling point when you could just be using OpenCL which works on both brands.

waxman you seem oddly invested in trying to justify your purchase, you really don't need to justify it but you don't need to call the other brand shit either just enjoy the video games your GPU can run holy shti

I would be sad If I bought a reference 290. non-reference are so much better.

nowadays, it's 99% preferation. i personally swear on nvidia, other prefer radeon. nvidia is faster, but also more expensive and more consuming on your electrics bill. AMD is cheaper, slower, but many games get optimized for AMD cards first.
Actually I heard nvidia cards are more power efficient and run cooler.

i also only now realized that waxman confused Ati and AMD. well, replace AMD with Ati in my statement and it should work out still.

in case of processors, again, if nothing changed, intel is far superior and most intel processors beat AMD ones easily when in the same price range.

then again i am no computerexpert and there is more that goes into performance than raw power, synergy is important too.

that would be a new development, last time i checked nvidia cards consumed electricity like anime consumes souls.
Urgh.... Here we go again heh...

Intel by most account are faster in single threaded peformance like most things are out there. AMD in other hand does good on multitasking. Both party are good at multitasking and single thread, only intel wins... in terms of single thread peformance. Its generaly accepted, BUT the REAL WORLD APPLICATION PEFORMANCE IS NEGLEGABLE.

Second AMD CPU runs generally hot when using STOCK fans. Or stocks gpu what ever they called. BUT NOT ALWAYS.
(My fx 8320(OC - Aftermarket cooler) runs idle 55 C and gaming 60C. While my GT 770(OC) runs idle 55.C and load 70 - 75C).

Also not to mention i buy videocards base on price peformance and what for i will use for(Generally gaming.. ofc xD.).

This website proves that amd is NOT slower then nvidia(A little, maybe xd) . They are doing pretty fine. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-8.html

You can look to the recommendations etc.

Have fun. Now I need to find other sources but oh well.

TL:DR: IGNORE THE FANS BOYS, IGNORE HATERS, IGNORE PEOPLE WHO DOESNT HAVE FIRST HAND, SAFE SOME MONEY. GET BETTER GRAPHIC CARDS OR MOTHERBOARD OR MEMORY. INTEL OR AMD. WHAT EVER. THEY ARE BOTH FINE - Source jaystwocents (proberly copied some xd)


Uh i guess the youtube url is bugged?

You sure there mate?
Also AMD is always behind with technology it seems, only reason AMD is good on battlefield is because "M-MUH MANTLE AMD SHILLING AND BENCHMARKS" and purposfully limited Nvidia cards. And then Nvidia released new drivers that bypassed it and suddenly a GTX680 surpasses the latest AMD card on it.
Well done bellends.

Nvidia is better for your wallet and better in performance anyways so.
Best buy would be Nvidia.

AMD Graphics cards are at least decent, but the GPU division isn't originally AMD so that explains it.

In Australia the 290 is $150 cheaper than the 780 and performs the same. The 290X is the same spice and performs better. soo...

Maybe electricity prices are sillyhigh in britbongland and he was talking about power efficiency?

But yes, Corin is quite silly.

The 290 also doubles as a room heater and if you wire it up to the house with watercooling you no longer need a boiler, not to mention my housemates one is noisey as fuck with stock cooler (I think his is a saphire).

Down here it's like a £50 difference between the 780 and the 290 but I'd rather pay an extra £50, have better drivers and not have a wind tunnel in my room.
It's 30c here, it's hot enough in the UK.

Also I think IppE is right, power consumption is lower but I don't pay the electric bill so I don't care too much.

The 290 offers a better performance for price ratio, while the 780 is quiter and cooler. So you should just admit that both sides have their pros and cons, instead of hating on the other side like a fanboy.

nVidia if you have the cash and want to for the best master race experience
AMD if you are on a budget

The nvidia drivers (WHQL ones) crash fairly often for me and geforce experience is just a load of poop (bluescreens when you update it etc.)

I wouldn't call that better, unless the AMD ones refuse to work completely.
