Hi! So considering the recent events with nVidia, I've held myself back from purchasing a 970. But after things have settled, and recently seen some performance benchmarks, I am quite encouraged again to purchase the card.
So I was wondering if a 970 was worth the upgrade from a still perfectly working, but increasingly hard to maintain gtx 460? Card is 3 years old.
Which brand should I go with? (to be used for Motion design, and gaming (GTA V, FFXIV 3.0 patch, planned as of the moment.))
And, I was curious if nVidia gives free games with the purchase of the card?
But with that said, here's my system:
AMD FX-6300 OC'd 4.2 GHz 6-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1GB
Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower
Rosewill 630W ATX12V / EPS12V
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
BenQ GL2760H 27.0"
LG E2250V 22in 60 hz
Gigabyte GK-OSMIUM
Razer Naga Wired Laser
Not sure how future-proof this card will be, so I'll be monitoring any changes for the next 30 days that I have the card. If all goes well... I stick with it or sell it if AMD does produce a better card. Which is unlikely, but surely it would be cheaper.
