The Strix one. You don't need 4GB on a 960. And you get better cooling.

PNY version if it really does have 4gb of vram........ the 2gb of vram is whats bad about the 960

Strix.

or not, if the other has 4gb then take that

I would get the 4GB version, the 960 runs cool enough as is it doesn't need an aftermarket cooler to perform well. Plus the extra VRAM would be useful for games like GTA5 and others in the future.

4gb of Vram goes over some extra overclocking potential on my side. 2gb is barely enough on my GTX 660, The 960 should have enough raw performance to use up to 3gb. You want to run out of Raw performance before running out of Vram.

When you run out of Vram you will get a significant performance drop, But if you only run out of raw performance it will scale almost linearly.

By asking which to get does that mean you have to get a 960? If not, go for a 290 or even a 280X, both great cards at a much cheaper pricepoint (mostly)

Those days when a gpu couldnt use all its vram are over, the 960 can easily use all 4gb

It depends on the game, Some games uses more raw performance than Vram and the other way around.
