>>
>>51916259

>>
>>51916259
Get a super clocked one work nice
>>
>>51916849
Is 7970 still worth getting?
>>
>>51916259

>>
Get four OP.
>>
>>51918083
if your budget is 100eur. Its surely showing its age.
>>
>>51918083
you can play fallout 4 and gta V
>>
>>51918273
you won't find it for 100 euro
>>
>>51916259
Sure, also buy R9 390 and plug them into the same monitor for ultimate SLI/crossfire combo. Don't listen to others telling you to buy the same card multiple times, having multiple cross-brand cards brings the benefits of both worlds.
>>
>>51918083
Yes, if you get the GHz edition it's the same as the 280X
>>
>>51919938
With Dx12 this could actually work

I currently only have R7 250 so either one would be a massive upgrade but I am trying to get best for the money. How much longer will the 7970 be able to run newer games?
>>
>>51920022
In which resolution? 1080p should be fine if you don't need ultra detail settings, remember the consoles' integrated GPUs are much worse than a 7970.
>>
>>51920067
1680x1050

If anyone has a 600W+ psu and gets a 970 theyre a dummy. I only have a 520W so I got one, but for $280 (what I paid for 970) you can get an R9 390 which is better IMO.
>>
>>51920131
Ok, this resolution is no problem for the 7970, but if you get the 7970 and upgrade your monitor to one with 1440p or even 4k you would also need a new GPU then.
>>
>>51920178
Thanks.
>>
>>51920022
not too long like year or 1.5
>>
>>51920166
Maybe, Nvidia is using its hardware edge to bloat their prices. 970 is actually equivalent to a 380 but they're selling at 390 prices. 980 ti is equivalent to 390x but they charge 50% more than AMD since theirs is faster. AMD responds by packing ridiculous 4k processors on a card so they need to water cool it just to compete.
>>
>>51920612
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about
>>
>>51920473
how about 380x or 960?
>>
>>51921237
980 and 970 are the same chip. They slightly cut it down and it goes from $500 to $300 bucks. Same for Titan $1000 to $650.
Amd is selling a card with the same processor count as nvidia for $400 compared to $650, get real.

>>51916259
Of course. You want your wife's son to have the best possible gaming experience right?
