Hello guys!

 

So im currently upgrading my graphic card,since summer is right around the corner and my birthday too!

Im thinking on buyng a Gigabyte GTX 950 WindForce,since its only 150$ on NewEgg becuse it suits my needs.

Most people&me want to play gta v,BF4 and MC with shaders with 60fps in 1080p and this card definetly gets the job done!

 

Here is my incomplete table:

Gigabite MC 60 GTA V 60VS40 CRYSIS 3 50 BF:4 60+ COD:MW 60+ TR 50 VS 90 FC:4 60VS30 166 EUR 150 $ NE-Windforce MV
Zotac MC   GTA V   CRYSIS 3   BF:4   COD:MW   TR   FC:4   193 EUR 159$ NE MV

i personally like the Gigabte GTX 950 Xtreme the most out of all 950s on market.

Slightly more expensive compare to the Windforce. but comes with backplate and multi-colour led logo and better capacitors and components to build the card. haha

Agreed. I would take EVGA on this. None of those models will be loud anyway and performance will be about the same. EVGA is what I recommend as well.

Do you really think things like better capacitors will matter a lot on a card like th 950? I think you will most likely be limited by power delivery(BIOS) or silicon lottery but not something as small as the capacitors of a 100-120W card.

the higher end capacitors are just a bonus to have on the card. 

 

the EVGA GTX 950 FTW is at the same price as the Gigabyte GTX 950 Xtreme, i personally will go for the Xtreme version, those add-ons are just a nice thing to have. 

and i am not saying EVGA is bad, but i just prefer Gigabyte more.

Might I also suggest an msi branded 950? Their cooler is among the best and it looks sweet.
