You'll need deep pockets if you are to consider buying any of these but they do make gaming a lot more entertaining of an experience. Here are the top reference cards that you can get for amping your FPS.
AMD's flagship happens to be the only current generation dual GPU card which obviously puts it way ahead of the rest. It's the only card with watercooling on stock models so far.
Maxwell truly showed its potential with this game changing GPU. Moreover, with a launch price of Rs.46,000 could you give this a miss?
TITAN Black took the TITAN series further with great gains in FPS as well as compute power.
The 780 Ti was one of the cards that showcased the foll potential of the Kepler architecture.
AMD's dual chip graphics card before the Hawaii renaming still ranks high when it comes to gaming.
The last reference card with a dual GPU configuration, the GTX 690 might not be as great when it comes to compute, but gaming is something it excels at.
NVIDIA's GTX TITAN created quite the noise when it launched. Turns out it's better at crunching numbers as well as FPS.
If the GTX 980 is a little too much for you then the slightly underpowered cousin, the GTX 970 could be a better choice. It's even more economical given that it's priced Rs.18,000 lesser than the GTX 980.
AMD's R9 290X is the single GPU flagship on the red team. It's one of the few cards which is based on the Hawaii architecture.
No, we did not use the same image. This here is the R9 290 and it looks exactly the same but has 256 fewer stream processors but performs as well as the R9 290X.
Did we use the same image this time? No! They all look alike. The R9 285 was released last month to coincide with their 30 years of graphics innovations. It's an improvement over the R9 280X and the R9 280 given that it's GCN 1.2 while the rest are GCN 1.1
The R9 280X was a rebadged HD 7970 but they did improve the working ever so slightly to improve performance.
