Nvidia

Nvidia

lol ok, which one? I've been looking at the r9 290 4gb version. It cost 380 So i guess 400 is my limit, over time i will buy a second card. This is my eye candy machine, as i already have a ps4 and xbox 1. I want to build something that will blow the two out of the water.

GTX 970?

GTX 970?

"Meet the GPU that nukes almost the entire high-end graphics market from orbit."
I'm sure it would suffice lol

From Eurogamer:

"The GeForce GTX 970 is that rarest of things in the graphics card market - a genuine game-changer. In fact, it's actually more like a cooked hand grenade strategically lobbed into the high-end GPU market, designed to cause maximum damage to the competition - but in the process impacting just as many Nvidia cards too. It costs £260, which is a lot of money, but its performance per pound ratio is so strong that some might say there's little point considering any other high-end GPU currnetly available - and that includes Nvidia's own flagship GTX 980."

I'm sure it's the same in the US as in the UK

"The headlines are this: AMD's R9 290 and top-line R9 290X - £300 and £400 GPUs respectively - are effectively obsolete: hot, power-hungry, inefficient products that are effortlessly bested by Nvidia's £260 upstart. Nvidia is caught in the blast radius itself too - the GTX 780 is history, while the 780 Ti - a card that sold for over £500 just a few months - is also bordering on the irrelevant. Overclocked, the GTX 970 also beats the stock performance of the £430 GTX 980 in most applications too - a phenomenal showing bearing in mind that the latter is 65 per cent more expensive."

This is definitely the card I'd get if I had money to burn and needed a new card

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I do like the built in screen cap of the GTX 970, to bad i doubt i could hook the ps4 or Xbox One up to it, So i'd still need a capture card for those.

But they have it built in too, lol?? Or is that not enough?

currently no, not if you want a high quality stream. like some of the pc players out there. PS4 and Xbox One are far behind in the regard.

Just bought Dragon Age Origins Ultimate on Steam for $7.49.

That is one of two games I wanted to buy this holiday season off of Steam.
