Would it worth it to upgrade my graphics from Intel integrated to nVidia GTX 970 just to play Doom 4? And what about the problem with the last 0.5 GB of RAM?
>>
>>342828997
if you're upgrading just for one game you shouldn't be playing videogames to begin with you fucking normie
>>
If you can find a 970 really cheap then yea sure

970 is the meme the standard for PC gaming developers optimize their games for the 970
>>
>>342828997
The New GPUs are already releasing
Buying any current-gen cards now is not a good idea since the prices still can drop

Also the upcoming RX 480 could get interesting
>>
I own a PS4 and also game on my laptop for some of the PC exclusives. I saw someone selling an alianware 14 laptop for 350$. Seems like a modest deal. Should I jump on it?
>>
>>342829576
Also I understand the hate for gaming laptops but since its not my primary platform is there a better deal for 400$?
>>
>>342828997
Unless you can find one for an insanely cheap price you'd be pretty dumb to buy a 970 now. The 480 comes out in a few days and is guaranteed to be as good as the 970 at minimum.
>>
>tfw 780
>need to lower renderscale to 50% to get a stable 120 fps
>>
>>342829576
Never mention alienware on this man-child board

350$ sound alright but extremely phishy
>>
>>342829710
No.
>>
>>342828997
I did.

I have a billion other games I want to play on PC, but DOOM demo got me over the edge. Found a 970 at a nice price and I am extremely satisfied with it
>>
Get 1070, or 980/980ti 970is shit card
>>
>>342830029
For how much
>>
>>342829870
If you ment fishy his wife is making him sell his games and quit pot. Even selling his Bone and games for 250$
>>
>>342828997
Is this game woth the 34bucks?
>>
>>342828997
As somebody that has a 970, I can tell you do not buy it. No matter the price, the 500MB will always fuck you over in some games.
>>
>>342828997
if you don't plan on going more than 1080p, than a 970 is a good card. If you're going 4k though, get a 1070 or 1080
>>
>getting 970 when RX 480 is releasing on 29th
>>
Built my PC with a 960 at the beginning of the year. Upgraded to a 970 just for DOOM.

Still haven't sold my 960 yet.
>>
>>342829710
You could build a total PS4 killer PC with 400$. That being said, if you need a laptop, that's a good deal.
>>
>>342830198
Yes

Single player is really good. The multiplayer is less good, you might try it out for a round or two and then go back to single player
>>
>>342830241
> getting AMD shit
> ever
at least mention the 1070
>>
It would be foolish to buy a 970 now when the 480 is coming out. The 480 is the same if not more powerful and uses less power, and costs less, and actually has 4GB of ram.

Also by the sound of it your upgrading from some kind of prebuilt pc. You may need to upgrade the CPU and PSU, depending on what you have.
>>
>>342830286
That pototo masher or something? I could look into that.
>>
>>342828997
A 100 $ or cheaper gtx 750 ti is strong enough:

>>
>>342830198
No. It gets repetitive very fast, is generally very consolized, and both MP and SM are shit.

don't believe me? Try the demo. That's the entire game in a nutshell.
>>
>>342828997
>Would it worth it to upgrade my graphics from Intel integrated to nVidia GTX 970
the answer is yes in general. Integrated graphics suck dick
>>
>>342830391
Dunno anything about potatoes, but theres been like half a dozen PS4 killer builds posted on /v/ alone in the past few years.
>>
>there are people in this thread who believe that AMD is an option

all of my chuckles

Check recordings / reports - it handles it and it costs few peanuts - alternatively find a cheap second hand gtx 770

>>
>>342828997
Doom is fun and there are many more games worth playing, so go ahead and upgrade. But wait a week or so for the new AMD card - even if you want to get something else - all the prices would drop. 970 is not worth its current price.

Yes. It doesn't matter what you upgrade to just get off fucking intel integrated chipsets.

Laptop gamer for the record, made a retard mistake of playing games using the wrong graphics card for a while. Sorted out drivers and now even this laptop's mobile GPU can play Doom and Dork Souls 3 etc totally fine. Got it for about the price of a console too, was a clearance sale on last year models. This thing originally costed well over a grand apparently.

It actually was a well priced card

But I just hate these autistic wannabe faggots telling me they got a gaming PC, and then mention a 750ti
>inb4 60fps on ultra

>>342830994
woah there lad is that some common sense
get out of here with that

why dont you want to fellatio one company forever lad

>>342830994

The AMD 480 isn't as good as they are making it look. Has it not been stated that the most amazing benchmarks people were touting were in fact 2 RX 480 cards running together, not one? I''m fairly certain that's what has been indicated. And at a $200 price point, you're only getting 4GB of RAM on the card. Maxing out the graphics in DOOM requires at least 5GB, so anyone buying a 480 is still going to fall short. You may as well buy a 1070 and get 8GB of RAM from the get-go.
>>
>>342830205
In what games? Never ever has it fucked me over in 1080p.

For ultra meme textures youre gonna need 6-8gb anyway so whats that 0,5 gonna matter? And for me it goes up to 3800 and I havent noticed any slowdowns in the performance.

>>342831373

Are you guys genuinely retarded? I don't get it - is some form of autistic circlejerking going on... I don't own a gtx 750 ti but considering if you just want to run the game and invest the least amount of money is a considerable option right now.

It's like you're dumb consumers.

Nvidia cares for gamers and they make the best GPUs for a reason. AMD doesn't give a shit which is why they have the worst cards.
>>
>>342828997

Do you even pay attention to anything?

The rx 480 is $199 and blows the 970 out of the water.

Retard

And the benchmarks putting it at 80% the power of a Titan were still with an SLI set up. A single card is going to fall far short.

>>342831598
Same, I can run Tera on Preset 5 on a constant 60 FPS at 1440x900 so I'm completely fine with not having a need to upgrade.
