I'm using: EVGA (nVidia GeForce) GTX 770 SC 2GB (w/ latest 344.74 WHQL driver)

 

Running the game on Ultra pretty much across the board; MSAA off; cut-scene framerate uncapped.

 

No problems at all really.

 

(you also get Shadowplay which is awesome)

Nvidia, because AMD is weird according to most PC devs. Also no raptr summary after you end your game which is a huge improvement.

Also nVidia Cards are much more power efficient and much more silent in general.

lol, maybe the new Maxwell cards, but when i think of the GTX4XX/5XX... they had an insane power consumption and were loud as hell, especially the GTX480. also the GTX780ti/Titan Black need only a few W less than the R9 290X without being much faster.
"much more power efficient" isnt true.
  

a nVidia 970 uses 147 Watts of power but a R9 290X uses 300 Watts.

keep on dreaming.
 

Sure, they cost a few buck more

they cost much more, not only "a few bucks more".
 


once again i´m surprised how many Nvidia-fanboys are out there

[Abaddon_86]

In how far is it relevant how much power completely obsolete product series consumed? I tell you, completely, as the OP obviously is not gonna purchase a 480.

 

And I guess "a few" bucks and "much more" is a matter of perspective and thus relative.

I'm thinking of getting a gtx 780 or an r9 280x.  The Nivida is much better but I'm use to amd.  I take it that Nivida drivers are more stable but amd puts out more frequently but nivida might support you longer in the long run.

[DemGeth]

I like the x70 series from nvidias.

Won't always be everything on ultra but they run smooth as silk, have a good price point, and a nice power usage figure.

That being said nvidia having trouble making really good drivers lately imo.

For the blockbuster games such as DA:I or previous to that AC Unity, you'll have a driver update a few days before release with nvidia. So obviously not a big deal.

AMD. Best bang for the buck and you don't have to deal with Nvidia's extremely annoying coil whine problem either.
 

Nvidia. You get what you pay for.

Pfff. Nvidia is overpriced and the boards are of lower quality too.

Bull****
 

a nVidia 970 uses 147 Watts of power but a R9 290X uses 300 Watts.

More bull****

Not true. Nvidia has had more driver problems than AMD in the past year.

[ashwind]

For now, AMD has nothing to match GTX980/970 in terms of value. Maybe that will change when they release the 300 series AMD cards. AMD runs DAI better especially if your CPU is mediocre because of Mantle. That advantage would probably go away when MFAA is enable for DAI if you are running MSAA now.

 

As for the minor price difference between AMD and Nvidia, the GTX900 series will pay for itself in a few months because it uses less power.

 

AMD card is better if you are gaming in 4k tough because it is all about raw power. Nvidia card is more about finesse.

[Jester]

keep on dreaming.

So now you're saying that NVidia is lying about their power consumption?

 

they cost much more, not only "a few bucks more".

 

GTX 970 is about 10% better in most tests than R9 290X.

Prices on Amazon are:

XFX R9 290X - $400

MSI GTX 970 - $468

 

So you pay 17% more for roughly 10% more power. And NVidia takes aproximately 40% less energy.

Where's that "costs much more" again?

More like never, unless you play 24 hours a day.

Nope, the Radeon 290X is just as fast a GTX 970 in DirectX and faster in Mantle (of course). Not to mention that AMD hardly has any problems with that extremely annoying coil whine unlike Nvidia.

[Deathangel008]

So now you're saying that NVidia is lying about their power consumption?

the not existing reference-design of th 970 maybe only needs 147W, but the custom designs consume up to 200.

only know the prices in germany, which are:
R9 290: starting at 250€ (350€ when released)
R9 290X: starting at 310€ (500€ whe released)
GTX970: starting at 300€, but up to 400€
GTX980: starting at 500€

GTX780 when released: 640€
GTX780ti when released: 650€

but dont forget that the GTX970/980 are only the performance-chip GM204 but are still as expensive as the high-end chips were before the 6XX. in 2011 the GTX560ti with the GF114 costs 230€. since Kepler they charge the price of the former GX1/2X0 for the GX1/2X4.

-
both AMD and Nvidia have pros and cons, so stop acting like fanboys.

oh, and btw i´m using Nvidia.

[Elevon]

 

Don't you find Nvidia fanboys more immature then AMD fanboys in general  however,I'll say probably AMD R9  290 is great value for money at the moment even compared to ANY Nvidia card.

 

I'm personally looking forward to the R9 390s  next year,I'm Nvidia and AMD user .

 

 

Sidenote,gamers don't  really worry about power consumption I know I don't, but then I always have a quality higher powered PSU then I  need  ie Seasonic,Corsair,Super Flower etc...

[Sanunes]

  

keep on dreaming.

 

I am going purely on spec sheets for both cards, so the ATI information is probably wrong as well for each card manufacturer will make changes for you are right there are cards that will use 250+ watts for the 970, but at the same time I have seen information showing the R9 290 X using 400+ watts too.

[escapePlan]

I've actually seen less problems posted with amd cards regarding this game, however I don't think much tops nvidia in general at the mo.

[Serenade]

I am running a Nvidia GTX 980 just fine with this game on ultra. I haven't tried an AMD card in like decades, I remember they called themselves ATI back then too. I do see good deals with their cards often, and they have plenty of nice game bundles aswell, so if you're going with AMD try getting some nice bonuses while you're at it.

MSI R9 290X Gaming 4G at the local store in my area is roughly USD $8.00 cheaper than the MSI N970GTX Gaming 4G. So... I think I can easily get that 8 bucks back.

Quite a cheap GTX970. But sure, you'll get your money back after round about.... 1000 hours of game time. And that is a conservative number.

 

Hopefully that coil whine doesn't drive you mad after 1000 hours.

If this thread is any indication, except for you, the other guys are sure less immature in that they are arrogant and condescending ****s who are completely full of themselves and their ****ty AMD cards.

Clearly this depends on your country of living. Lemme tell you, in Germany it sure ain't 1000 hours to earn 8 bucks back but helluva lot less.

I live in Germany, and we pay like 23 Eurocents per Kilowatt.
 
So like after 500 hours in Germany.

Nvidia Fanboy detected.
 
That coil whine on your low quality Nvidia card must be driving you crazy. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE xD

[Abaddon_86]

really? Only that gave it away?

 

Germany has the second highest energy prices in all of Europe, you ought to know.

 

 

And no, it doesn't drive me nuts at all(since my 670 4GB doesn't have it at all - in fact, I don't hear my Graphics card at all, even in load, since it's not even in the same room as my Home Cinema), in contrast, I enjoy the perfect driver interface, the essentially non-existent visual errors in games and the absolutely perfect HTPC playback.

[Moondoggie]

That's because Nvidia are so useless when it comes to getting drivers out. 9/10 times with a new game they make beta drivers that don't work. AMD make much less mistakes with drivers.Eventually they will stop screwing up and make drivers that work.

The Nvidia vs AMD argument can go on forever and there are fanboys of both. The Nvidia high end cards are very powerful but extremely expensive. To compare both it's value vs power. If you have a ton of spare money to put together something with the most expensive parts go for it but AMD gives you more bang for your buck especially in the mid to higher range of gaming suitable cards. When you compare them to the equivalent Nvidia cards which are almost twice as expensive they don't offer much more for the price. Nvidia really starts to shine with whats on offer in the top tier cards though.

Look...   I'll say this.  

 

The GHz speed wars are over.  Pretty soon the video wars are gonna be over too.  The graphical capability will be so minute that some of us will be able to spot it on a monitor showing us frame by frame (60 frames) and some of us will never be able to spot it.

 

In fact, I'd very nearly say that the video wars are basically done.   If you want Mantle, then I'd say go with AMD.   If you want DirectX (and who knows where it's going) go with NVidia.  Yeh, NVidia does have a much more powerful card right now.  Nothing can utilize it.   But it's there.

[Mornmagor]

At the moment there's nothing stronger than an overclocked version 980, but for some reason it's not doing much better than AMD cards, because it's not optimized yet for Nvidia cards.

 

Strange coincidence, consoles having AMD based GPUs.
