| JEMC said: If they don't develop a new one then it's pretty much obvious that they will keep using OpenGL. My doubts come after that. I mean, even before the Tech5 was launched, Carmack admited that they used OpenGL because they were used to, not because it was better. And now that he (and who knows how many more since they were bought by Zenimax) has left, that may change. After all, Zenimax may want to replace some of those folks with people from Bethesda and maybe create 1 engine for all its teams. But I'm simply speculating.
@GTX 770 4GB: You want the one with extra RAM don't you? I don't know the prices over there, but here that particular card is too close in price to AMD's 290 with a 3rd party cooler which not only has the same amount of RAM but it is also faster in pretty much any game... But I know you prefer Nvidia so go for it! It will last you many good years of gaming (at 1080p). |

True I could get a 290 for about the same price and it would outperform the 770 in most things by a decent margin. But I do kinda want that PhysX support. And Nvidia's recent driver changes plus DX12 lessen the advantage of mantle. Since the three main games I want a new card for are Nvidia titles (Batman, Far Cry 4, Witcher 3) with Star Citezen being the main AMD title but that won't be out for at least a year and a half anyway I am leaning towards the 770. If Watch Dogs is any indecation 3GB will be the minimum going forward even at 1080p.
