QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 01:29 AM) Definitely. The GTX660Ti is behind the 7970. So you can guess where it stands here.  how much does it cost? does it compatible with the rig that was mention before? |

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 01:41 AM) Depends on which non reference brand you get it from. Prices hover between 1.1K-1.4K. I suggest you get the MSI R9 280X GAMING 3GB @ RM1149. The ones costing higher is no point as its too close to GTX770/R9 290 areas. And yes it's compatible with the specs Cable707 gave you. in other words as long as it r9 290/280/gtx770 its good right? |

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 02:44 AM) More or less really. If you're a nVidia fan, get the 770. If you're on a smaller budget, get the 280X. But if you have RM1500-1600 to spare, get a non reference 290. im sorry but what is non-reference?, mean the one by amd?. |

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 03:17 AM) Reference cards are basically generic GPUs that follow either AMDs or nVidia's design with a stock coolers. Non reference are cards made by third party brands like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI or others who take out the stock coolers and use their own, sometimes even using custom PCBs. To iillustrate, the back card is a reference AMD design. The front is a non rreference card by ASUS.  oh orait, it is like ap/ori phone thing right?

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 03:42 AM) No no no. Ah I guess my explanation was too simple. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To pinpoint the difference even more:
Reference: All cards are built to the exact same specs, use the very same circuit board layout, same components, and SAME COOLING SOLUTION.
Basically, all reference cards are looking the same, perform same (at reference clock), the manufacturer slaps it's own sticker on the card, only the bundled items in the box might differ...maybe a free game, who knows...
Non-ref: Modified boards for different reasons such as : cost-saving, increased cooling capabilities, increased overclocking potential...
Most of the time, the custom cards are built around cheaper components, to shave a few bucks compared to the reference design...the most classic case as of late....replacing VOLTERRA voltage regulator on Radeon cards for cheaper VRs....
The MSi Twin frozr II cards, the Saphirre Vapor-X, the Asus Direct Cu II are all custom card design with increased cooling potential that are actually quite interesting and well made... I hope this clears it up. ahh, so it has a little pros and cons? |

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Mar 13 2014, 03:49 AM) You can say so. Reference designs are usually cheaper and runs hotter, meaning higher temps and power draw. But it's generic design also allows you to put water blocks or thired party heatsinks by Gelid or Accelero. Non reference are more expensive. But runs cooler and is more efficient. The tweaks made by the third party manufacturers however mrams you cannot put other options like water blocks unless it specifically fits your model. But for you, just get a nice non reference model and you're good to go. but the one u share with me in the spoiler it stated that the non-ref are the cheaper one? which one are more expensive?, non-ref or ref? offtopic, did u by any chance are watching UEFA? :  |
