Intel + AMD. Everything else is objectively shit.

Nvidia and Intel,
This is not up for debate. Cost effectiveness is another issue.
i7 6950x and GTX 1080 SLI would be hard to beat.
Intel for CPUs always
AMD GPUs for 100-250 budget
Nvidia GPUs for 300 and up
Cyrix + 3dfx
>hating a brand
how do you even do that?
when they start gimping their own product to encourage new purchases.
AMD + Nvidia
Fight me, I've been doing this for 8 years.
Shitty business practices such as telling devs to make games run worse on AMD cards in exchange for promotion by Nvidia.
Lying about specs.
Gimping own cards to make users buy newer generation.
Nvidia is run by assholes and I will never buy an Nvidia card again.
I thought they stopped increasing performance of their older products but don't actually make them perform bad.
You shouldn't forget we're making huge jumps now when it comes to memory. Entry level cards have 4gb Vram in 2016 while back in 2014 the 780TI was released with 3gb Vram.
Do they really gimp?
Several tests of older cards with newer drivers have shown that those cards perform worse compared to when they were tested with older drivers.

Then drop a Samsung 27" FreeSync $299 monitor on that bitch
There has to be a 24" i would rather a 24"

Oh, okay.
Well I'm buying the 480x unless it's a typical AMDreactor

It is good now thanks to lighter nvidia drivers not hammering the CPU, and it was better even earlier than 8 years. Kids don't know about the cash shit that was 3dnow! supporting Detanator drivers.
Matrox and VIA
PROVE ME WRONG.
Genius. Why didn't I think of this before?

>the Phenom II is the last to use 3dnow!
Just kill me now glimglam. I'm still using it.
>Matrox
>PROVE ME WRONG.
No user, Matrox still being used for production and editing studios because of its massive multi-monitor support. It's something that even the big two(besides SiS) don't want to bother with it.

intel hd graphics
I remember they supposedly fixed that, at least that's what I've read, on the 7xx series, but if they did fixed it, it was because people went nuts about the subject, and even if they did fixed that, I don't know if they won't do that again.
Even so I bought a 960 'cause it was on sale.
>2016
>not using full amd combination
Shit, I meant to reply to Not
(Agreed)
Not even AMD uses their own CPUs for their ashes of the singularity benchmarks so that's out of the question
Please convince me to get rid of my GTX 980. I don't want to pay founder's edition entry fees
If I was given it at discount, I'd go for it. But extreme processors come out every two years, so it's hard for a regular rich pleb like me who doesn't do creative digital work to upgrade
i7/GTX xx80ti obviosly
everything else just screams poor
6600k + 1070 + 16gb on a 1080@144hz gsync or 1440@120hz gsync
Did I jew good? Just kidding, it's actually my setup right now I'm just waiting for non FE 1070 cards to hit the stores, my go to shop only has FEs so far.
Low CPU + NVidia
Mid/High CPU + Whichever Fits Your Budget
AMD drivers traditionally have higher overhead and suffer in some circumstances when paired with a weaker CPU.
rx 480 + i5 4460
JESUS so that's what the second socket on my mobo was for.

>get a 480

You know OP, we can't really answer this question until zen comes out.
>CPU

>GPU
nvidia for high end 1080p.
amd for high end 4K.
AMD for mid tier and low tier.
literally this dumbass.
Join the /wait/ club and get a 480.
Thanks gentlemen. Wouldn't it be prudent to wait even longer for an RX 490 though? Or is 480 the flagship this time around. I can afford to save even more for a better card. I just want to avoid the inevitable gimping
Intel CPU & AMD GPU
Do you NEED a super powerful GPU and pay 50% more for it?
Just because companies tell you to buy their super powerful flagships, you shouldnt
To be honest, unless your card is really underperforming, you could use your 980 until Vega/Volta comes out. It is still a pretty decent card, there's no obvious reason (at least to me) to replace now.
>sell gpu
>buy gpu with same performance
AMD shills detected
this will be the future setup of gamers who have brains.
>sell GPU for more than the price of 480, while avoiding the gimping of nvidia cards
>less power consumption

either Intel + AMD
or AMD + Nvidia

holy fuck is this true goddamn what a garbage company

AMD and AMD
the 980 can literally play every single game why do you feel like you need a new graphics card
Im going for intel+amd
so at the end you 3 shekels left?
and when you keep the first gpu you have non left?
depends,
you can have a great intel+AMD cobination but a HDD or a mobo that literally kills the good relationship between these 2
still left with 3 shekels and a GPU senpai.

The center of Intel's logos always looks like a crevice overflowing with vomit.
Not that I have anything against Intel.
nvidya gpu amd cpu

Intel Pentium/3dfx
needs at least 90hz video board driving that panel first and 299
Intel + Nvidia.
No need for brand loyalty to get into this, the question was straightforward. The question wasn't which is a cheap good option, the question was - WHAT IS THE BEST COMBINATION.
It will be until Zen comes out
Man I wish AMD hadn't bought Ati.
Fucking Pajeet tier company.
