Going for a budget build for my new custom built pc, but I don't know whether to get a GTX 970 or an R9 390.
- I want the card that will get me high fps over a long amount of time without me needing to upgrade it to something better. (e.g. GTX 980 Ti)
- I want the card that will get me higher fps in games in general.
- I don't care about the power required to run the cards, or the noise they make.
I will be overclocking the cards, so which one would get me more fps? GTX 970 OC or R9 390 OC? I know it depends on your individual card but do you guys have any rough estimates? I think the R9 390 would be better for the future as it has double the Vram of GTX 970, and as newer titles have confirmed, more Vram will be needed to run games in the future (Assassins Creed Unity).
For these reasons, I'm totally torn between the two cards - I don't know which one to get, but I want to be absolutely sure before buying the card.
Do you guys have any idea as to which card will be better for me?
The rest of my build:
Processor: i5-4690k
Processor Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
PSU: I don't care, I'll change my PSU to whatever W the cards need.
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 8
Motherboard: Asus Z97-P
