Ya I know Tman. And I don't mind others opinions if we can all be respectable adults, I don't plan on making another one, just wanted to tell everyone! No biggie
-

Jesus loves you...but everyone else thinks you're an asshole

It's the R9 270, not the 270x. I really thought about waiting but I'm just an impatient guy. I didn't even need to purchase this, I just start wanting things when I start looking at them. Thanks for the advice, but I'll probably keep this card a year and then sell it. With my current build and this new gpu, I should be able to still run any game out in 1 years time so it will be fine for me.

Just now reading this, after I went ahead and ordered the 970 with overnight shipping, lol. I know about the new series coming out this fall, but didn't eat to wait that long. Installing my 16gb ram and 970 friday. Wife, and son will be out of town all weekend so I'll definitely be breaking the new equipment in. Thanks for everyone's response.

So....I know I made a status update on this, but wanted to let other people comment and vote. I am torn between the 290x and the 970 at the moment. Both are great cards, but I am on the fence on which one would suit me best. Below are my pc specs, along with my pros/cons for each card. What is your opinion. Don't really want to spend more than $370. BTW my r9 270 can get anywhere from 60-90fps on arma 3 and gta v (PC). My rig: Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Processor: I5-4690K (OC to 3.9ghz) Graphics Card: Sapphire R9 270 2GB (OC) Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz Hard Drive: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD Backup Hard Drive: 500gb HDD + 2tb HDD + 2X 500gb raided Monitors: 3X ViewSonic 22inch LED 970: seems to outperform the 290x by an average of 10fps less power hungry Really only a 3.5gb card, instead of a 4gb. I have read when you go over 3.5vram that the card itself slows down and starts having problems - Big issue for me 290x: true 4gb vram only a average of 10fps less more power hungry Keep in mind I will only be playing at 1080p I had my mind set on the 970, but have read so many negative reviews about the 3.5gb vram and the card becoming slower if going over that. With the 290x you have all of the 4gb vram to use. My main games I will be using this for is Arma 3, and GTA V. Yes I have dayz, h1z1, Counter strike, etc, but will mainly be upgrading due to arma 3 and gtav .

We all know who likes attention, lol.

Thinking about buying the gtx 970, anyone have it? opinions on the 3.5 vram instead of 4?

Thanks for all of the comments. I have narrowed it down to the 290x and the 970. 970 uses half the power consumtion, but I have a 750psu so thats not a deal breaker. My current cpu setup with my r9 270 gets 60-90 fps in arma 3 and gta v.
-
I have a 970, I love it. Just make sure to not get the reference cooler
-
If the price difference is right just save the cash and get the 290x.
-
Trying to talk myself out of spending $300 just to be able to go from high to ultra on gta v settings because my graphics card is decent at the moment. why would I spend $300 just to play 1 game on ultra....

Because America! Thats why!
-
save up and get the 980...go big or go play minesweeper
-
I play GTA V on ultra at 4k and it isnt that amazing, their graphics just arent as high up there as Arma yet. getting a new card to run Arma at ultra would be worth it, but not gta. thats my opinion.

Been downloading GTA V for 9 hours and im only at 75% done, lol. Set it to pause and gonna stream wasteland tonight.
-
Downloading this now, the invite still open?
-
Why would I want to buy GTA V for the PC when I have it on xbox? Sure graphics are better, but don't know if its actually worth another $60.

theres nothing wrong with it on pc :/ ive had no problems what so ever
-
shit I bought it lol
-
I'll get it during the Steam Summer Sale. I'm too broke to throw $60 at a game. I'd rather use it on a tank-and-a-half of gasoline for my F1 Honda Civic

Everyone has their own opinion about something, but if this isn't the place for you then go ahead and leave. Olympus is for the strong, not the weak players. You don't have to post it on the forums to get sympathy. I understand what you are saying, but you knew posting this forum would cause an argument. With that being said, good luck to you and know that I ate chicken nuggets for lunch today.
