Black64 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I switched over to Nvidia this year, my thoughts so far are, the drivers have some issues, but the performance is better. Red team and Green team seem very evenly matched. The 280X is expensive though, so IMHO Green team has the edge this go around.

NVIDIA driver support is generally way better than AMD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks for the review, though I never liked the bulkiness of the DirectCU coolers The 280X is expensive though, so IMHO Green team has the edge this go around. Thank the miners for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The 280X is expensive though, so IMHO Green team has the edge this go around. Thank the miners for that Nvidia is like: our plan is working! if we let AMD get the upper-hand in mining then our cards will be cheaper in comparison! *insert evil laugh here* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVIDIA driver support is generally way better than AMD. I had the "drivers failed to install" error when I first bought the card and a few failed to update problems. But I fixed each in a few hours.

ClayMeow Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 You doing them manually or thru GeForce Experience? I've been using GFE since around October and haven't had any issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
