MP 610 or 970? Now that the prices are almost identical (because the 970 has a $100 rebate) which one would you choose?

I just ordered the 970 because of the rebate. Without it I would have gotten the 610. The ability to scan negatives, the built-in networking capability, and the seven color ink package (compared to five in the 610) made the difference.

It would be overkill for that resolution. I would go for a lower end card unless you play some very, very big hitting games.

I will go for this one!! I really love it!! If you get the 780 you can get 10-12 more fps, is really up to you. You can take advantage that 780 are at low price.

I agree Marino on the intergrated graphics install a good video card for more powerplay especially if your gaming.....i am a AMD fan so you can t go what i say but if you want a good reasonable v-card may i suggest the Sapphire Radeon 270 2GB OC card cost right now $168.98 right here on Amazon, or a EVGA Nvida Geforce 750 TI 2GB Superclocked with G-Sync Support for $139.99 here too.This also a short but good graphic card because of not using so much wattage from the power supply (You need a 300 watts PSU to run it!) but it run good off 75 watt plus you have all the Nvida goodies that come with it!!!

Well if you have the money, save for a 970, more performance and better power consumption. If you are still getting the 770. You should check your PSU if you have 2x6 & 2x8.My msi 770 came with 2x8 standalone connectors that u can use on your PSU but i didnt need it. MY PSU(Corsair CX600) has 2 2x8 connectors. Get a 600w Good PSU(Like corsair or seasonic or something)

Between those two I would recommend the 780Ti; I would also suggest a 970 or 980.

The 980 has a few more features than the 970 (2 available temperature settings, etc). If you pull up the specifications for each you should see a couple more listed for the 980. We went with the 970 because it was more affordable and worked perfectly for our needs.

The one pass!! I have owned both and the RTX FRIED my hair. Go with the one pass :)

I am not sure as to what the black version has/had, but I've been playing Batman Arkham City on everything set to Very High with 4x AA minus DX11 options and I've ran the benchmark and it came out to 35fps average which is more than enough for me. Everything is smooth and I've played about 5 games so far on the machine. It might not be the greatest and fastest GPU out there, but for the price it will play new games just fine. Typically I aim for at least 30fps as above that point I can't tell a diffrence and am not willing to pay extra just to say that I am getting 100fps.

the nvidia gtx 650 with 1gb of ddr5 is a very nice card and it's only like 120 bucks. I would recommend that one over any other for your price range!

There is one reviewer who addresses the differences in the 970 and 980, which may be of interest here.http://www.amazon.com/review/R29OHBI20GBFO/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00F0R6UPW&channel;=detail-glance&nodeID;=1055398&store;=home-garden

I have http://amzn.com/B004KY719A in mine. It's currently priced $88.95. It runs very well. I use this as a portable gaming system. I put my old Radeon HD 5870 in it when I got my Radeon HD 7970 for my main system, but even the onboard Intel video is decent for when I use it as a media center box at home.

There is a decent jump between the two but not life-changing. The 280x plays everything I throw at it at the highest settings on a 1080p monitor and I can get 60fps (or close to it) as well. The only time I can't get 60fps, even on a AAA title like BF4, is on super high resolutions (I frequently game on three monitors with eyefinity). But even then I stay above 30fps on everything. So I would definitely recommend getting this card.

I should stop by the gaming section here on Amazon more frequently for these kinds of laughs. As many users are suggesting, Nvidia wouldn't release a top of the line graphics card costing almost $1000 only to have it choke on youtube videos.

This is a great card, i also use it for the same resolution, but paid $699, its cheaper now, if you have the money go for it!

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.

The card I got is U3. I'm not shooting 3K video, so the U1 versus U3 did not bother me, but I did research it to see what the difference was.
