Hey /g/, I was looking for a new GPU and had a budget of $260. I was looking at a used MSI 970 and apparently it is a meme tier card. Any explanation why? Recommendations for a new card would be appreciated. CPU is i5-4690k incase wondering

>meme tier
Because 3.5. Other than that, there's nothing meme tier about it. Just grab a 380x, they're about 230.

is not bait am legitimately concerned
>>54412735
any specific card? or just go for highest clockspeed
I suppose I should clarify. I have a GTX 960ti
right now and the 380x doesnt look like much of an upgrade
>>54412541
Get an r9 390.
>>54412541
Always disregard memes.

>960 ti

was hoping to keep it under $300. Thats why i was looking at used 970
how about a 960? Those are pretty cheap atm... sorry bout all the questions. I don't frequent /g/

doh meant 560ti
Don't buy a card now. Polaris is designed for poorfags and will be out in 2 months tops.

My 970 seems to have kinda shitty multi monitor support for some reason.
Game on main screen runs perfect, but a video on second screen gets choppy.
Might want to fall for the AMD meme in that price range.
if I can nab a GTX970 for $255, would that be a better deal than a R9 390 for $275. Is the 512mb ram really that much of a deal breaker? Or should i stick with the 390 as it has 8gb
Why not wait until the new cards come out? If you don't need to be on the bleeding edge, than current cards will come down in price once that happens. Otherwise Pascal/Polaris might be good enough to justify buying those instead.

get the cheaper one and use the saved money to buy extra ram or even a game or something.

reason being is my card is a crappy 560ti and i cant play what i want to... and im impatient lol
