I like how I purchased my HD6970 for 350$ a while back, and have had no need to upgrade it. Before that it was my HD5770 for 200$. ATI has never done me wrong. Brand loyal here.
I'm in for this because AMD offer high performance and great competition in the marketplace. also it would be nice to get an upgrade from my 5000 series single card
I typically do a ton of research when I upgrade my computer, partially because I just like reading about the tech, but mainly because my funds for upgrades/new builds is typically small.
There is a good reason I'm running a 6950 in my current build, and that's because it gave me by FAR the greatest return on my investment. It's still tearing up the games I throw at it, and all for ~200. That's why AMD is my goto for video cards.
I have Never used amd gpu and this would lend an excellent opportunity to give them a work over. I just smoked my XFX 9800 GTX Black Edition cards so this is just in time for Christmas. ty.
