Which GPU performs better and What is the power consumption

[Owlcatraz]

Hello here the GPU that interest me and my budget is $310AUD that $225USD:

• Asus 2G GTX 960 Turbo OC PCI-E VGA Card
• Asus STRIX-GTX950-DC2OC-2GD5-GAMING 2G GTX 950 STRIX OC PCI-E VGA Card
• Gigabyte N960-G1-GAMING-2GD 2G GTX 960 G1 Gaming PCI-E VGA Card
• Gigabyte N960OC-4GD 4G GTX 960 OC PCI-E VGA Card

Tell me which one or post a diffrent GPU that can out run them (Only NVIDIA) is the best and the wattage of one of them. my PC uses 184 watts on a VS450 34a 45 watts and it can go for 500 watts with 2x PCIE 8pin connector.

 

thanks for reading

R9 Nano uses slightly more than a 960 and performs better than a 980
R9 380 uses slightly more than a 960 and kicks its ass all the way to kingdom come

He only wants Nvidia ;( Although @Owlcatraz you should really consider the 380,unless you need the nvidia features(Gamestream for the shield for example)

It's against my principles of a poor person to recommend a worse product for more money

I know,i share your opinion with the 380.I dont know how people still see the 960 as an option when the 380 is more powerful

While both Asus and Gigabrick have horrible customer support they are cheaper. If you have an option for MSI, Sapphire, EVGA, XFX, PowerColor, Zotac, Gainward - all those are far superior

there only 3 option:

Asus 2GB R9 380 STRIX OC PCI-E VGA Card

Sapphire 2GB R9 380 DUAL-X OC

Gigabyte R9 380 WINDFORCE OC

the shop im going doesnt have a stock of MSI, EVGA, XFX, PowerColor, Zotac, Gainward

but there another shop that only have MSI:

MSI R9 380 Gaming 4G Graphics Card

and there out of stock but i can request

Nah im not really into gamestream bc my internet is being used so much

[Nacho Marco Segui]

Then why only Nvidia?

[Owlcatraz]

Then why only Nvidia?

i actually don't know why i go NVIDIA all the time. maybe there technology on there GPU that made me like them

one more thing

the R9 380 requires 33 amps and my VS450 (im still working on replacing it back) have 34amps

will it work

my pc uses 184-190 watts so i still have 260watts + 50 watts (because in this web it said it was able to reach 500watts) and the R9 380 need 190 watts

so is 260watts left can handle R9 380?

a good quality 400W can power a R9 380 system with ease. A system without a GPU at stock needs around 120W but the VS is lower quality than I'd prefer. Make sure the PSU has fresh air coming into it to keep it cool and it should be fine

well that all i need to know thank you

Sapphire - no question

BTW is Dual X is good enough this is only able in the store

I heard a lot of people go for Sapphire Nitro so im kinda worried.

Nitro is quieter and cooler but Dual-X is also good. Certainly better than anything Asus or Gigabyte have to offer. MSI Gaming 4G and XFX DD are also very good

What with this dual bios button?

[don_svetlio]

What with this dual bios button?

dual bios gives you the ability to try and tinker with the GPU's vBios without the risk of fully bricking it

[Owlcatraz]

dual bios gives you the ability to try and tinker with the GPU's vBios without the risk of fully bricking it

is this right?

Dual Bios means double bios installed on a gpu. You might have seen there's a button on your gpu, one is to use the second bios which is especially for overclocking the other is for normal gaming at base clocks. There's also a button to flash the bios, just in case we mess up with them, it brings them to default settings. Yes, it enables boost clock. And again yes, dual bios can be operated with legacy and uefi bios.
