Nvidia GTX 980 or 970

just took the first review I saw

If you are playing a next gen game with AA and not trying to get 30fps,then you are doing it wrong.

just took the first review I saw

where are they in the game when they record these tests?
what graphics card are they using?
what operating system?

seems to me that its full of stuff because i assure you i would notice if the card went over 3.5, and i play with all maxxed

970

[communistsquared]

built in benchmark i am assuming

what graphics card are they using?

Titan X

what operating system?

win 7

i'd rather trust a professional reviewer than you

Having used both a 4GB GTX 970 and a 6GB GTX 980 Ti in the same game with the same detail settings at the same resolution (1440p) I am confident in the assertion that VRAM usage is limited by how much is available to be used. As an example I never saw more than 3GB of VRAM being used with my GTX 970 but now I frequently see over 4GB being used with my GTX 980 Ti, though I have never seen much more than 5GB being used. This is in GTA V but is not limited to just that game.

980 is stuff for its price

either buy the 970 or the 980 ti

lol? the first link showed VRAM consumption in the ~3.5GB range toward the end of the video (hitting a wall), the others don't even show VRAM usage

?? i guess you proved my point??

you're too far up the 390's ass to even understand what im trying to say

hey, if you think nvidia's rooster tastes nice, i won't judge

you said modern games don't use more than like 2GB of VRAM. i show you that most modern titles use more VRAM than that. this gives cards with more VRAM an advantage. what exactly are you trying to prove to me.

[shitlord]

????????
i never said that

what exactly are you trying to prove to me.

that the big boy 390 on the block isnt all that its talked up to be

[communistsquared]

????????
i never said that

i've yet to see a game use more than 2.8gb of vram on my 970, as the only game that hit 2.8 was rust because of memory leaks

????

what, by showing my a video of GTA 5 with a GTX 970? what exactly did it prove? again, your own video showed usage close to the 4GB area, which will definitely be a wall in the future. theres a reason why the 3GB 7970 completely outperforms a 2GB 680 a few years later, even though the 680 was slightly better at launch

again, not to mention that the R9 390 is simply better on average. i showed you the results from like a dozen games summed up into one graph.

Communist,i seriously wonder if you literally have all the AMD GPUs ever made up in your ass. This is getting absolutly ridiculous.

Like i said,blockland runs better on Nvidia cards. Why are you recommending an AMD GPU on the blockland forums?
