The ShadowPlay idea is actually nice. If they want to record, they can use it.You did mention that your friends wanted to start up youtube channels, well any Nvidia card that is above the GTX 600 series has shadowplay included with it (A recording software that can record up to 1440p 60fps with zero lag.
My main specs are:
i5 4670k OC @3.8
Gtx 770 OC 2gb
8gb ram @ 1600mhz
I use a 24 inch screen @ 144hz and still get a consistent frame rate above 600, I suggest getting an nvidia card for their scenario.
Intel HD 5500 is an intergrated graphics card, so basically your laptop doesn't have a GPU at all...I agree ^ But DO NOT go with a product that has neither AMD/NVIDIA, trust me, I had a laptop with only a single Intel HD 5500 and it runs HORRIBLY, even by using the more optimised settings!
This is just not right, if it wasn't for drivers amd would be such a good company. Also I run minecraft at a solid 400 fps with an amd cardif you want to play with 10 render distance and 60 frames, AMD is not going to work.
That depends on how you pronounce "Nvidia". It's supposed to be pronounced like, "N-Vidia", but if you're pronouncing it incorrectly as, "NiVidia", AMD sounds better.Nvidia because it sounds like 100x cooler
Ni-vidia sounds cool thoRelevant comic: Critical Miss ATI Cards.
This is a classic example of arguments that play out like Coke VS Pepsi. They're nuanced in their own ways, and which you prefer comes down to your own personal priorities and preferences. But at the end of the day, you're basically buying equivalent items with minor differences.
The general trend is this: ATI cards if you're on a strict budget but still want performance, NVidia if you will pay extra money for slightly higher performance and a better feature set.
But regardless of who you buy from, family and tier will have a larger impact on performance than the brand.
That being said, I'm an NVidia fanboy, as my family has been post 1995. I'm rocking a Galaxy 580 GTX right now that I actually bought off Chad. I respect performance and value over a strict budget, and I think NVidia cards offer a generally better investment for the money. Looking to get a 970 GTX once they drop below the sub-300 level, which they might if the 980 Ti gets released in May.

Of course, back in my day, AMD hadn't bought out ATI yet, and ATI had the undisputed best name of the brands.
390x thoughHere's the basic premise. If you're on a budget, go for AMD products. They're of high quality, and performance, but if you can pay the extra money for an Nvidia or intel product, do it. The extra investment will be worth the slight boost in quality.
omg chill ur like following me :3390x though
Nvidia mainly since they pay people to optimize their games for nvidia hardware.
but 3.5 gb...
alright guys team amd #IWant4GB
