    AM3+ Socket motherboards don't come with onboard video. That's why there's no video output on the motherboards. I don't think any AMD CPUs have an iGPU on them anyways.
    Out of that list, Titan Z is best in terms of performance, but best value is a 780.

    AMD's appeal is price to performance, I've bumped back down to a 5870 till I'm sorted. If AMD have really gone this shit in 2 years then I'm going to nvidia. problem with nvidia is they're overpriced as hell, so an equivalent card for identical cost is not possible.

    My reasoning for Nvidia is Shadowplay. AMD cards are great and all but Shadowplay is a fantastic utility.

    Actually, that AMD Raptr app recently got an update that has very similar functionality, using the hardware encoder as well I think. IDK how good it is though, never tested.

    It's OK, though i would never use it for recording gameplay as apposed to Dxtory. I only say that due to (as far as i know) you can only play games listed on Gaming evolved's library (BeamNG cannot use Raptr even though i have it in my steam library, it doesn't get synced). Also, lack of extra functions; unless i'm missing something, you require an external mic recording software such as Audacity to record voice. It has a neat feature that has a pre-recorded set amount of time (that you can change to something like 1 min?) meaning that when you aren't recording yet get a good moment worthy of being remembered on video it allows you to save that 30 sec clip (Without bloating out your HDD by recording everything). I'm unsure about the quality as i have never rendered it (if it needs rendering?) nor bothered to use it much (because i have Dxtory :V). The built in Twitch streaming is a nice touch and is ideal for someone who doesn't want to download dedicated software and doesn't want programs spread all over the place. In a sense it's perfectly user-friendly, made for users who don't want hyper edited videos (or even good vids for that matter) but rather want to share some moments with friends (idk how well this is integrated with vid sharing). Unfortunately i cannot compare it to shaddow play as i have never used it. I may be wrong with some things i have stated above (and am unsure about some of the features that i have not found/may not be available to the games i play) so this, what now appears to be a very vague Raptr review, is purely me supporting MetalMuncher's comment. I'm tired, need sleep, please, no hate.

    lol The Titan is over a thousand bucks. Obviously it is meant for graphics design/rendering and not gaming!

    Next poll, battleships vs canoes and paddle boats!
