Is this desktop built good enough...

You should take a look at multi-benchmark instead . That chart does not mean anything
GTX 770 vs GTX 680 GTX 770 won in most benchmarks GTX 960 vs GTX 770 GTX 960 vs GTX 770 : Performance in real-life Draw match . In some games , GTX 960 performs better than GTX 770 and vice versa Again, a single benchmark does not tell anything Laptop: Youtube Channel (Vintage Tech/Watches) :: 03-13-2016, 01:05 AM
Yeah, I know that. I was only frightened by the fact that amd cards have problems with OpenGL.
Even if I read Amd supports full OpenGL 4.5 without issue and they have the best vulkan support. Anyway I watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDwjkozclQQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAdbt_ew3eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTpNZEW31G0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udXCusTnRsY
AMD card's drivers are a dumpster fire. Both companies support Vulkan fine. nvidia's OpenGL implementation isn't garbage. AMD's always has been. AMD's drivers have also been a crashy mess on both big OSes.
Those videos only ever look at performance numbers for D3D (read, how well a company can implement hacks in drivers to make things go faster), because it just sort of works out that high profile games don't give a crap about APIs that aren't D3D or OSes that aren't Windows, and their justification isn't bad. D3D isn't terribly annoying to work with when you're working with a game engine, and the three big GPUs tend to have pretty good D3D drivers, and designing a game on Linux has a bunch of obstacles! However, none of this is relevant when it comes to emulation. So the tl;dr of it is, if you want your high profile games to work really well and don't mind *somewhat* (I'm overstating this) unstable drivers so you can save some money, get an AMD card. If you want high profile games and emulation to work really well on both big OSes and don't mind paying a premium, get an nvidia card. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with buying an AMD card. They have their place in the market because they're fairly fast, and cheap on top of that. So for playing big named games, AMD cards are fine. nvidia is more expensive because their stuff actually works. Also, those videos are lols because anybody can look at benchmark charts and point to the highest number. 03-15-2016, 09:20 AM
Up to you.
There is always a new chip "Just around the corner", chip releases often get pushed back. Just pull the trigger whenever you want your new system. Some OEMs (EVGA) even lets you upgrade for near free if a new chip comes out within like three months of your purchase. 03-16-2016, 11:50 AM

AMD cards don't get along nicely with OpenGL so if you're looking to use the OpenGL backend or Linux in general, you're going to have a bad time. (03-12-2016, 05:39 PM)helios747 Wrote: er, okay.

If you say so. :^)
I'll believe evidence I've seen personally of their drivers failing to do simple things. 03-16-2016, 03:36 PM

I have multiple issue with amd\ati with opengl in the past. To be far though I was unable to update the drivers due to it being a in a laptop and I couldn't use reference driver and the manufacturer didn't release update after a year of it release. I more issue with nvidia drivers but I also use nvidia for my desktop for much longer(since 2010) because I was unable to find a replacement for cuda\nvenc encoding that was amd\ati compatible. However from what I gather from this blog https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2013/09/26/...fameshame/ . It relatively old(2013) and I don't know how much is still relevant but amd\ati opengl support wasn't that great for dolphin nor was linux support. I being using dolphin since 3.5 and as hardware as old has a i5-460 and ati 5650 moblity and a i3-530@2.9 and gtx 560ti I no longer use this but I never notice any issues between the two hardware in rendering. I think I used direct x though as I currently use direct 11 for my video setting.
