The r9 270 is enough to run pretty much every f2p title out atm, you only need something better if you wanna play graphically intensive titles like Assassin's Creed Unity, Witcher 3, etc.

AMD has one of the worst drivers out there. I, myself, was an AMD user for over 5 years, their "auto-update driver software" is doesn't usually work if you have a connection slower than 10Mbps. Switching from power saving to High Performance in case you are using a laptop is one of the hardest things to manage, and sometimes might even crash your computer. I've been using a GTM860M (4GB VRAM) for about 4 months now, and so far the only issue I had was running VR games in the Oculus, which had been eventually fixed. I didn't have to go through the trouble to update the whole driver again where Nvidia's system is perfect at auto updating. I just realized that the GTX has that feature where you can right click the app and run it under the GPU you want, I don't remember having that with the AMD card. In my POV, you should go with Nvidia software-wise, for hardware though, that's dependent on how much you can spend. |

I use an r9 270 and it plays stuff just fine. Not sure about newer games, cant afford them, but it runs Batman Arkham Origins just fine besides FPS drops during the later mission in Blackgate. Intense fire and explosions kill it. As for drivers. I've only updated them like...once. I should probably look and see if there are new ones. When I get a new PC should I change to Nvidia? |

some battered wives like crono will tell you to buy an amd card but do not heed their advice idk it's impossible to tell you what to aim for without some price point amd has released a " " " new " " " generation more recently than nvidia but unless you're paying $800 usd for an r9 fury take that with a pound of salt |

Looked it up. Fury X MSRP is $670 USD around here. 980ti is $670 USD. Fury X is at or above the 980ti based on the benchmarks done. Sorry fanboy.

the point I was more interested in making was unless you're buying a high end card you're not really getting a new generation of tech considering he was using a r9 270 previously it's unlikely he's going for boutique hardware next |
