this is the most retarded logic I have ever witnessed in the history of TDF.
you think money grows on trees that OP will magically increase his/her budget by 26k for a 970 ?
lmao, by your standards, anything below a 970 is incapable of gaming ?
Congratulations, we have a kkn13 replacement in the forums
Hey [MENTION=110244]Nerevarine[/MENTION]
That was just my opinion that OP should wait until he can expand his budget.
I clearly said in my 1st post itself that
"It would be better if he waits out to expand his budget..
In case waiting out is not an option go with the rigs mentioned,they will get you 60avg fps at mid-high settings."
I covered both those points in my first post itself..
Even OP said he would wait until he exapands his budget.
(In reply to my first post)
So I guess it was fine by him.
Also wrt to the most retarded logic, i am sure the money is a hard earned one not something that is extracted from ergot of rye.
Now if the OP is fine in "Waiting out"? Why should we poke our nose into his money and economy.
Also [MENTION=110244]Nerevarine[/MENTION], let me ease the tension.I hope this thread comes out to be one the most discussed thread and not one that gave rise to a TDF rivaly.
However.
Just for the sake of OP, let me again give you a rundown..
OP READ THIS PART AND ASSESS IT ACCORDING TO YOURSELF.
OP is about to buy a processor and GPU.
Processor-Done and done,i3(skylake if he can afford).
1)Now when it comes to his GPU.
What would be better for OP?
To buy a GPU(750/Ti) that already hits its VRAM capacity and has a poor chipset horsepower for even some current AAA titles.
Or buy a GPU(970) now,that hits half its VRAM capacity on most games,and has a better Maxwell chipset, so as to facilitate games of future.
Also having half its VRAM clear means more headroom for future games too
Now lets assume OP waited a few months and bought a 970, what happens after 1.5-2 years?
I am pretty sure games coming after 1.5 -2 years will be taxing to even 970.So then he can reduce his settings to med-high, and still get playable frame rates even after 2 years.
But what if he buys 750Ti? After 2 years? Shift his settings to low and play???
Or again buy another GPU after 2 years,and go through all this cycle once again??
2) Now for the second,point which itself might be a deal breaker. Now with the coming of Dx12, games are being more and more GPU taxing and lesser to CPU.
So i see GPU might me the deciding factor in near future with codes of Dx12 for many games.
So why not save up a little more(15k more) and get a better GPU.
Also look at it this way.What happed to GPU that supported only Dx10, with the advent of Dx11?
Most of them were termed incompatible with various games.
It happeded to me even,long back when I had owned HD4670.
So after sometime when Dx12 is the key? What would OP do with his 750Ti??
Stop playing some games entirely??
Because 750Ti lacks the hardware to support Dx12.It just emulates it a little bit.But doesnt support Dx12 in anyway.(Apologies for the misleading tone, i edited this part below on the Dx12 compatabitly issue)
However 970 does it to a much much larger extent.(This statement however is completely true)
So now, I see just by saving up 15k more on his GPU,OP can get assurance that he will be able to play games coming in about 1.5- 2 years.
And will not have to drop his settings to low on most games or stop playing some games entirely after 2 years because of the "incompatible brand that 750Ti would get".
It has happeded until now,and will keep on happening in years to come.As newer technologies come out older become obsolete.
NOW OP READ ALL THE ABOVE CLIAMS AND,FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON YOUR PARTS.
