Nope, Glad you like it! Too many AMD basher's out there. Both sides make great cards, except now, it more simultaneous.

I believe the cards that have come out in the last 3-4 months, R6,R7, 750, 750Ti, 760, 265...

None of them will disappoint. Both have decent Driver support, it's now more about Loyalty than bad products, well, and price! LOL.

I knew you would be happy, and I am glad you described it as you did.

I couldn't agree more with you. This past month I purchased two new cards...a MSI GTX760 4gb for a brand new build for my wife and a ASUS r9 290x for me. Both run fantastic !..... Cool, quiet, very fast and both the Nvidia and AMD drivers run well and were a breeze to install.

Except for the over pricing issues due to supply and demand created by miners, this is a great time for both AMD and Nvidia and I am more than pleased with both the card brands I chose....whatever someone chooses they really can't go wrong. I would go for the best price.

Saying a GTX760 can't handle csgo well is an ignorant statement. Hell a GT650M can max out CS:GO at 1080p and still average above 60fps.

You = fail. Hopefully nobody eats up your bullshit.

I beg to differ. The GTX 760 is better than a 270X in just about ever scenario btw. The above is comparing a "high-end" third party card to a stock reference design GTX760, which still handily outperforms it. Not to mention a GTX760 is basically a GTX670--which I have--and can run CS:GO at 1080p maxed out with at least 60fps constant, no dips.

kamransaeed15 · Mar 4, 2014

well its clear that 760 is about 10% faster then 270x but if you see the price difference i think 270x takes the lead

You missed the point of our talking about the 760. We are correcting the stupid comment made here. Sorry for the confusion.

well I actually had the evga 760sc, I couldnt get steady 120fps+ in a 20v20 deathmatch. I had 140-200 fps with my single 780ti in 20v20 and i got myself a second one for higher frame. don't know why you are mad.

oh and my dead laptop has 650m too, and i can tell you that, I only get steady 85-100 fps in 5v5 with all low. i don't want to max out and let 1 incendiary grenade screw up my fps to a level where i can't even move my crossfire smoothly.

coconut wa te r · Mar 4, 2014

i am just saying, if you want a smooth game play and no fps drops in any server, don't buy a 760. This is a suggestion that coming from a 760->7970ghz->780ti owner and also a 10 years cs1.6 player. However if you live v-sync you can ignore this suggestion.

Well when you compare a $250 gpu to a $650+ gpu then yeah. Simply put, high expectations don't mean that the card sucks.
I'm not mad. I'm just very intolerant of people spreading false information. Also, the way you said it was more or less "I was going to tell you not to get the 760 cuz the fps sucks so I'm glad you went with an equal or slightly weaker card." You didn't say it such as "the 760 sucks in comparison to a 780ti"

Also I hope you aren't talking about 1080p or there is something wrong with your hardware (650m/760). Both were under performing.

There is an edit button at the bottom of your post. No need to have three separate posts in a row.
