Konig91 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 At some point in future I'll ditch my laptop for a more performance-heavy PC. Nowadays people say that buying an R9/R8 AMD card is more advantageous than an NVidia card when it comes to FPS and price/quality. I see that most people who run Skyrim with a lot of mods, including visual mods and ENB, are using Nvidia cards and most of them have great performance. But how would it be if I were to use an AMD card like the ones mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danni293 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 AMD Cards work fine. I use an Asus HD7770 which is an AMD chipset and I have no issues running on High with lots of mods (I could run Ultra with an FPS drop but that's just the power of the GPU). ENBoost even comes with an Nvidia or AMD version. The only real difference you're getting with Nvidia and AMD is price, physical appearance of the card, software and possibly connections (such as SLI vs. Crossfire).

Valkasha Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 An r9 290x should be able to handle heavy modded ENB skyrim on ultra with reasonable FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konig91 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 An r9 290x should be able to handle heavy modded ENB skyrim on ultra with reasonable FPS.I assume reasonable FPS means 50-60 FPS, right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem99 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 A R9 280X already will master that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
