				| When it comes to only 1 brand of GPUs (Nvidia)... does higher price mean better performance?
 
 it's because the numbers (450, 550, 680, etc.) does not seem to follow any order, like sometimes lower number have better performance

				| The first number is the generation and the second number is the model, I believe. _________________

				| 295 is a dual GPU. Best price to performance graphics card is the 7870GHZ. Around 250 dollars or less, you can get one that will max every game. Nvidia is shit for 600/700. Their 780 costs more than the 8970 will but the 8970 will be as strong as the titian for 600 dollars. |  |

				| If you were to get the 7870 Ghz, I would recommend getting the 7870 XT. _________________
