r9380x or or 908ti?

[chris_uk333]

So which of these cards would you get? Obviously the AMD is around 350 quid, the Nvidea 500....Is the 500 from 350 worth the 150 quid extra?

Thanks

I'm quite into Nvidia myself, personally.
The 8-Pack edition HOF 980Ti would be quite an interesting one to go for, given the recent benchmark scores!

I will never never never never go with AMD again.... of the two AMD cards i have bought BOTH were faulty...2 out of 2 seriously?

Sorry i'm a bit annoyed at the moment as i am out of pocket through ZERO fault of my own except maybe being too trusting....silly me...


Go with the GTX980ti far far far more reliable and regularly updated drivers, way better performance as well.

390X is the best bet for price/performance ratio atm, imo

 

[TonyTurbo78]

might argue the 390 is actually better value than the 390x. Not just because I have 2 of them, but £70 cheaper for a few hundred Stream Processors difference. Can still clock my cards to 1150 on core with default volts as well.

 

[HardStyler3]

lets just say if you play on 1080p the 150 more will not be worth because you get good playable framerates with both cards

You do realise that that's something that happens with Nvidia cards as well, right? Besides, Nvidia's drivers have been worse than AMD's for the past year.

PS: You shouldn't be out of pocket, unless you purchased from a bad retailer.

What gfx card & cpu do you currently have?

 

[ukxenon]

I am all for Nvidia this ti e around but for you the 390 would be a good fit

 

[Martini1991]

Except it's inferior to the 290X's at 220 quid price/performance, vastly.
The 390X price/performance is not good when it's raised the entry level price wise for that performance.

Yeah i realise that but i guess i am just amazingly lucky with Nvidia cards. 2 out of 3 Amd cards i have had have been faulty. Ive never bought an Amd card before then (owned 3 of their cards in total) so as a new customer to pc components its disturbing that i could manage to snag 2 faulty ones straight off the bat.

Does make me wonder.

a) There is no such product as R9 380X. There is the R9 380, R9 390 and R9 390X
I assume you mean 390X.

b) You compared apples and oranges. It would be more accurate to compare the Fury or Fury X with the GTX980Ti since they are in the same price range.

c) If you play up to 2560x1440 get the 390X and save the £150. Get the MSI Gaming, comes with the best factory overclock.

d) If your budget is £520 then that is a different can of worms there. We can start talking about Fury X and 980Ti all night. Take into consideration that the good GTX980Ti are at around £550-570 though.
And if you have that amount of money buy it. However waste if you play games at 1080p.

I have lost all trust with AMD.

agree with this ... buy the best card you can within your budget , the better the card the longer it will last you

I have lost all trust with AMD.

And I have lost trust with Nvidia. your point?

 

[Jono8]

I would rather have this at £389.99 at the moment than a 390x:

That will be a decent bit faster than a 390x when overclocked, especially at 1080p. Comes with a game you can sell for £20 as well making it very close to the price of a 390x

What a load of ****. Using defective hardware as a base for opinion?

@OP. What games and what res are we talking? I went from a 290 to a 980ti and at 1920x1080 it would have been a waste of money as the 290 handled business just fine. No coil whine either!!

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

I just got myself a 980ti with my new build and it's unreal, clocked at 1390 out of the box and upto 1500 on the core which a lot of them are easily reaching and tearing through games, have been on AMD for the past 4 years and I won't go back.
