Nvidia Video Card Recommendation...

[Anomaly1964]

My PC specs are in my signature...

If I wanna be able to play the newest Dragon Age I'm told I will need a new GPU...

What is the least expensive Nvidia version I can get away with?

Thanks!

That would depend on the level of detail you're willing to play at, btw any particular reason for no AMD GPU? I would say the least expensive would be a GTX 970, they're averaging about $330. I suppose you could also wait for the GTX 960 for whenever that comes out although they seem to be taking their time in releasing it.

I've just always used Nvidia...

I would get a GTX 970. It is a very easy suggestion and probably the best one.

In other word, it is a no brainer if you are willing to pay MAX 400$ with tax.

Well if u can wait until feb AMD will release their 3xxxx series & the game will be fully patched by then too & much cheaper. Anyways this is a mantle game cause it runs on frostbite engine 3, meaning it favors AMD.

For all graphics maxed out with no AA @ 1440p i average 40~50fps with GTX 970...for me thats more than enough for smooth gameplay. i couldnt wait though & upgraded just for this game cause its like crack. Love me a good RPG with gorgeous graphics!!

I agree with the 970 recommendation if it's only Nvidia to choose from, maybe a second hand 770 4gb if the budget is a bit below that? @1080p with a few settings tweaked you could probably get away with that.

If you want Nvidia card then get a GTX 970. The R9 290 and R9 290X are also good alternatives.

Thanks for the tips fellas!

Wait until amd releases their 3xx cards so you can get nvidia gtx970 a lot cheaper.

gtx970 is a midrange card at high-end price. It should be sold at about $250.

970 sounds about right.

Don't know how much is worth to wait months for a measly 50 bucks.

+1. If you need it, you need it. There's always something new off on the horizon.

960 should launch on Jan 22nd, otherwise 970 now. Kepler performance is very poor in DAI to bother with even a 280X beating the 780:

Maxwell is the only reasonable choice for DAI in NV's camp.
