Hello. I currently have an Asus AMD R7 260X 2GB and I want to upgrade because AMD is SH*T when it comes to drivers and it really annoys me. So here are the 3 choices I have :

http://www.skroutz.gr/s/3569485/Asus-GeForce-GTX760-2GB-DirectCU-II-OC.html
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/3560569/MSI-GeForce-GTX760-2GB-Twin-Frozr-IV-OC.html?from=drop
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/3711906/EVGA-GeForce-GTX760-2GB-SuperClocked-ACX-Cooler.html?from=drop

So can you please tell me which one is better (preferably for gaming) and why? Also, is this upgrade going to give me a noticeable performance boost? Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Update : This one is also not out of question.

Well coming from someone who has a 760 that wont be much of an upgrade and i dont know what you mean by shit amd drivers they have been very good lately. The r9 280 is the same price as the the 760 and is more powerful if i were you thats what i would get. If you really dont like amd then any of those 760s will be good they are all pretty much the same i like the msi its the one i have and has worked flawlessly so far.

im more of an nvidia guy but dont slate amd, there gpus are good price/performance now (wasnt in the past) its not that amd are crap its just that your gpu isnt very strong, id go for an amd r9 290 (none reference) or a gtx 770. it all depends on budget, if you can afford a gtx 970 thats where its at right now.

Well like I said, I have a Asus AMD R7 260X and when it comes to drivers its a complete mess. I don't know about the rest of the AMD GPU's but the drivers on mine are terrible. I haven't been able to install any of the new drivers (current one is 14.12 Omega) since 13.12. That's over a year old (maybe even more). When the installation completes and I reboot, I get a black screen and I hear the sound that windows produces when you insert and remove a device, over and over and over again. It's like the driver is crashing-retrying again and again but all I see is a black screen after the Windows loading screen (the time when Windows is probably loading the drivers). I have searched again and again on the Internet for this problem, many people seemed to have the same problem as I have and ended up returning their card. Also their customer support is bullshit. The guy I contacted was actually trying top be helpful but he didn't know too much. I have even tried a new VBIOS that supposedly fixes my issue but no luck. The problem is actually with the display driver but I haven't found a solution so far.

Have you tried deleting all the amd graphics drivers and then re installing them? It doesn't matter to me i pretty much tend to stick to nvidia as well but in the 200 dollar price range i would have to give it to amd the 760 and 280 are the same price and the 280 is more powerful. If i were you i would just try to save up more money so you can afford a gtx 970 rather than getting 760 the 970 will give you more performance for your money.

I have done that process like 20 times. Its just not working. I don't know what to do anymore. Also what about the new listing in the OP? The sapphire one. Is it better than my r7 260x?

Dunlop0078 · Jan 12, 2015

Yah thats a good card much better than the 260x however it will probably use pretty much the same drivers at the 260x.

Well I hope that if I get that card I wont get the same results. So far I haven't found a single person having the same problem as me with that card.

Dunlop0078 · Jan 12, 2015

Yah i have never heard of that problem i have a few friends with r9 280s and they dont seem to be having any problems with their's.
