I've been wondering if I should get an AMD or an Nvidia gpu. I will be getting an AMD CPU, but most people say the GTX GPUs are better than Radeon HD GPUs. I know that Nvidia cards generally cost more, but I really want to know if I should put the money down on Nvidia or save a little and go with AMD? I was hoping that someone could give me an honest break down on which is better, and which should I get. I'll mostly be playing games and my budget is roughly $1,000 to $2,000.
AMD wins at every price point currently, ignore Nvidia fanboys. They're not better in anything but rendering in a few programs, and win in benchmarks in the few nvidia optimized games.
Your budget is $1000 to $2000 for the GPUs, or for the entire system? If that is the budget for the GPUs, get dual Titans or quad 7970s, otherwise, get dual 7970s or 7970 6GBs.
$1,000 to $2,000 for the entire system.
Definitley go for a 7970 (Ghz Edition if you can) for sure then.
