Choosing a new graphics card, any thoughts?

[Spectral 131]

I have come to realize that I need a new graphics card but I have no idea what to get. I have search the web and read a bunch of reviews but I wanted to get the communities opinion. With the new GeForce 980 and 970 that have came out I am not sure whether to wait a few months or to buy something now. Never mind motherboard or never mind processor speed let's just keep this topic about graphics cards. I understand the new technology is pretty impressive since it uses software to reduce the amount of calculations per pixel a card has to do.

So the true questions are, what are you using? would you buy it again and if you could buy a new graphics card today what would it be? And last but not least should I wait a couple months or by now? Please feel free to leave links and give me any info you have that can help me make a informed decision. Thanks

I'm Still running a GTX 670 and it smokes everything I throw at it on high graphics. You'll be fine with anything you listed. Just remember two months after you but it, its gonna cost 150 less and another one will be better lol

Same for my 660 /o/

 

As to the new 900 series I wouldn't bother with them just yet, the current 780s are slightly ahead of them performance wise and the new technology on the 900s wont be fully utilized by games for a good while yet.

More than enough for almost everything on ultra with 144 FPS. Except Arma lel

The 900 series is allready much better in permformance and powersaving. Its maybe not worth it if you play on low settings etc but if you wonna play on full HD or try out 4k its the shit. The price on the new 970 vs the new 670 (when it came out) is the same.

GTX 970 bro, go for it. Dunno what Grandma Gary smoked, but the GTX 970 is currently the best bang for the buck. It has around the same performance as the GTX 780 Ti which costs A LOT more and only has 3GB of memory (970 has 4GB).

I bought my EVGA nVidia 970 4gb and not upset 1 damn bit.  I picked one up at MicroCenter in Atlanta for 320$.  Its a damn nice card and as the guy above me said, a huge bang for your buck and will last a couple years.

 

Run everything high/ultra.  I turn off shadows and this thing screams at 45+ fps in towns.  Core i7 4790k, 16gb ram, arma3 on SSD

Hadn't actually looked at the price of the new cards I just assumed cause it was Nvidia only god and Bill Gates would be able to afford them =D

 

Not too shabby.

Get the gtx 980 its a beast

[SniperMcRifle 55]

Currently from what I'ce heard ArmA relied a lot of processor rather than graphics, just a heads up. But I run two 660Ti's and it smokes all games i throw at them, Graphics cards aren't too hard to choose really, just need to find a good balance between bitrate and vram.

Nah breh, gotta run quad titans with a 16 core processor over cloked to 420gz

What is your cpu? If its anything i5 or higher then i would say 970 or 280x/290. If below that, just 280x/280 GTX 760 if you are a fanboy but the AMD low end cards RN are way better price/performance. Id say 970 tho. Just depends on what you want to spend.

Just got a GTX 770 and it's beasting Arma 3 in full Ultra video settings.

[xXItzKarlXx 28]

if you can afford a 970 or a 980 go for it
