General computer talk/advice

I just realized I can afford a GTX 760 (probably a Gigabyte one). Yes or no?

 

Go newer. Dx12 or 2011 it seems.

 

The 760 does DX12...

 

Still. GO for the 370, it'll be around the same performance, and it'll do DX13 as well. And most likely DX14.

 

It's too late for him. Nvidia has captured him with their witty, smoke and mirrors marketing. Not even AMD can save him now.

 

My only and last Nvidia card was also my first real one. Gts 7900 super over clock. "Man oblivion sure looks great on medium settings". Advanced micro devices for life trick yaaaa

 

I hate AMD's update system. I really hate it.
And besides, the 760 has more cores, the one I have my eye on is faster than a 370 and besides, I'll probably end up with AMD when the 760 becomes outdated. Oh, and optimisation.

 

im sitting here with a 760 sli.

 

How many?

 

2. my case cant fit more gpus, otherwise i would have a 660 in there too.

 

But the 370 actually has competent (or even existent) support. The 760 isn't even all that much faster, you can overclock a 370 to beat a 760.

Also, core number means nothing, it's all about architecture. But whatever...

 

No. It's slightly better than a GTX 950, yes. But no full DX12 support. The 370 will match it in DX11 and destroy it in DX12.

Edit: 4K replies, just 95 from a nice round number.

 

In testing between @narwhal2's (with a single 760) and my (GTX 950) systems, in some cases (haven't tested DX12), the 950 actually performs better than the 760... But there's no doubt an R7 370 would trump both cards.

 

OK, 370 it is then.

 

Getting my old ThinkPad T41 running It'll be my main laptop until I get a charger, battery and keyboard for my T61.

 

I just found out that my pc needs a ATX mainboard so the one Bluescreen found for me wouldn´t fit is there a cheap but good one? so cheap being in the 250 euro range with prozessor max 300 euro for Germany

 

MicroATX motherboards fit ATX cases. Although prebuilt ATX rigs are rare, you sure you have ATX?

 

yes i am sure its not a pre built i built it with my dad around 2006 and it currently has a ATX definatly

 

thats fair enough, although a MicroATX board will still be fine, you could even take Mini ITX if you wanted though I would advise against that, well beyond pointless.

 

ok so I can save some money on it
