Ok, so i just started a PC build, and in there right now i have
Intel Core i5 4690k
750w PSU
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
16 gb of DDR3 (Crucial)
512 SSD
2 tb HDD
Now the 2 GPUs i'm considering are the nVidia GTX 970, and the AMD 390x.
The conflicting opinions i've heard are, that the 970 has 3.5 gb of VRAM and the 390x has 8gb
But there is some problem with driver issues, and some power consumption issues as well.
Basically, i'd love someone to really lay down the good and bad of both cards,
I saw someone do a benchmark test on the 970, and it ran great, except for in Shadow of Mordor, in that game, everything on Ultra, he hit FPS issues when there were a lot of enemies on screen.
I have not seen a similar video of the 390x.
My usage is, heavily modded Skyrim, and heavily modded Fallout 4, and average use for most other games, AC Syndicate, XCOM 2, Battlefield 4, etc.
Thanks in advance.
