I have been following tech news in the past few weeks and following the big releases from the major manufacturers, I was wondering if you guys had an opinion on the 'bang for your buck' AMD card or the more expensive but higher performing NVIDIA card, any help would be great as I plan to upgrade my rig and those cards are the 2 reasonable options I had in mind

I dont trust AMD after the first two video cards I had that shit the bed so fast. I finally bought an NVidea card after those two and its lasted me 2.5 years now without a problem at all

Are you dumb? How have you been following tech news and not know about the 1080? Also Amd is going to be releasing a card on par with the 1080 for cheaper so maybe wait for that if you really want amd. Just saw the voting thing the 480 is the card im talkin about, id wait for that.

Ive had many Raedon/Amd cards and they have all lasted atleast 2 years.

Nope I am not done, as I said those are the 2 cards within my price range, the 1080 is the same price in pounds as dollars which is a little pricey

As i said, go for the 480.

i had both amd and nvidia 

and i must admit my preference  lays whit nvidia

and if you are going to upgrade id  get a 1080 every  bench mark i have seen it has beaten every card on the market  

if you go for a lesser gpu you will more then likely regret it later on  down the line . and you going to want to upgrade  much faster 

better save up and wait and get the best possible gpu 

this might help you http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/graphics-cards/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-1070-vs-amd-radeon-rx-480-3641216/

rx4804gb vram

Thanks for all the feedback I'm leaning towards the 170 now, I have a 770 2gb at the moment and the lack of vram kills me

[Ghillie Dhu]

@thedrunkensoldier if you have a 770 now id suggest you save up and get a 1070 or even wait and get the 1080

but the 480 is the most bang for your buck atm 

but in the long run the more vram the better for the games 

just do not forget arma runs more on cpu power . meaning you need a powerful alround machine to get the top performance

I have an i5 4690k which I acquired recently, i plan to get water cooling so i can overclock it more

[Ghillie Dhu]

you got a really good cpu  so focus on the best card you can get

same! I got a r9 270 shit out then a r9 280x and is holding on by the wire..... 980ti here I come

I've been on both sides of AMD and Nvidia and nothing will ever beat AMD's price for performance, simple. Buy the R4 480 when it comes out. 200$ for a card of that level is just insane.

The only  bad thing about the AMD cards is they don't have a dedicated recorder. Raptr is a pile of 3rd party shit, nothing will simply beat Shadowplay if you are looking for maximum performance in games. I currently own a 970, and I somewhat regret buying it recently as I could of waited a little longer for the R4 480.

Any Geforce gives you the most bang for ur buck AMD its just amd.
