Computer hardware to start with UE4? GPU?

Why you all only mention Nvidia? The Radeon R9 390 has same prize as GTX 970, is a few percentages better but has two huge advantages, first one is it has 8 GB Ram compared to 3.5GB of the GTX 970 and second one is how Nvidia behaved in recent time, they lied about the 3.5GB in the GTX 970, they lied about support for asynchronous shaders in their current GPU generation. This alone would be enough reason for me to never buy an Nvidia again, at least not in the next few years until they might change their attitude to be a bit more truthful to their costumers.

I used to switch brand with every new upgrade and don’t mind AMD, but I did have quite a lot of issues with drivers back when I had a 7970 so I’m hesitant to go with AMD again for my main computer. That said, I do run a 280X in the other machine and it works great. With the latest ******** from nVidia I might have choosen AMD if I were to upgrade now, if it weren’t for my screen having G-sync. I went with a 980 TI last time since the Fury X was a bit of a disappointment, but they’re more competitive around the price point of the GTX 970 and AMD doesn’t seem to be as shady as nVidia.

I feel the need… The need… for an Nvidia 980 Ti. For those with more moderate budgets though I’m feeling the Asus Nvidia 960 Strix. With a decent OC that would be good value.

Yes Nvidia certainly has dodginess but it’s got features galore.

Besides VXGI etc, Daz3D now supports Nvidia IRay… Pretty fast
