I pretty much have everything all ready for the new build but the graphics card is just something I cannot decide if my life depended on it.
I know there are fanboys on all sides, and I see points that would make each side great but i'm still confused.
I'm going to be playing on a 24" 1080P display, but I want everything on max details, full AF and AA. I want it all. I also wanted to at least TRY this for newer games coming out later this year and whatever next year will bring.
Nvidia has all those features that seem interesting but 2GBs of memory and the shorter memory bus width kinda..make it seem less future proof? After all some benchmarks claim that Nvidia's limited nature held it back in the most demanding games when AA was brought to maximum (extreme) and AMD went ahead. This was noticed on Sleeping Dogs, one of the newest games out.
ATI has more memory and that bus width...and the latest GHz edition seems like it would be a game changer with all the AA put to max even at 1080P, the difference is still noticeable on the charts.
I know it depends what games i'm playing as well but Guild Wars 2 is a big priority for me. I may pick up Skyrim too, and other open world titles and some people still say Nvidia favors it while newer benchmarks favor GHz, so i'm totally confused.
Mainly I just want a great card that will feel like it's still a warrior even 1 2 or 3 years at work.
Edit: I Just noticed that Nvidia's Geforce website is showing GW2 in the background and such. Does this hint that they work better for it than AMD? If anyone has experience on this game lemme know.
