I got a new CPU for Christmas (I7 4.2) and before I open my case up ive decided to pick up a new graphics card.
The 970 seems like the best when it comes to performance/price ratio. However I cant shake the idea that an AMD might be the way to go, primarily because both PS4 and Xbone are using AMD graphics hardware and most AAA titles will optimize for one of the two. I'm not worried about it right now as raw horsepower on the 970 should be fine. I'm more worried about sometime down the track when developers are squeezing every little thing out the machines that devs will use solutions that might not work as well on Nvidia hardware.
But then I honestly haven't kept up with hardware in many years.
Is my worry unfounded, or with the off the shelf nature of the 2 consoles make this issue totally irrelevant?
