which gpu is better

[Wiff]

I just asked myself wich is better

Msi r9 280

pny geforce gtx 760

the msi one costs about 15€ less and has 3GB of Vram and the gtx 760 just with 2Gb, plus the msi one looks much better.

btw, Do both of these cards have 2x6pin connectors?

280 is better, but needs a 6 and an 8 pin connector.

[Quest]

The 280 is better.

the 280 is one class better than the 760. you can overclock it to reach 770 performace if needed. but it comes at the cost of higher power draw

oh ok, could my Psu handle the gtx 760: Silverstone SST-ST50F-ES

MY hardware is:

Amd athlon 760K

the Psu mentioned before

ASUS A88XM-A

500Gb Hdd

2x4Gb ram

it will be fine. as long as it has the connectors

we have a gtx 560 Direct cu currently, which has 2x6pins

we have a gtx 560 Direct cu currently, which has 2x6are

are the 2x6pins by any chance actually 6+2pins?

[Wiff]

why does it matter, can you tell me if the psu has 2x6pin or 6x2pin, but the gtx 560 needs 150W and I think the 760 needs 180W

well for the 280 you need a 6pin and a 8pin/6+2pin which this psu hasnt got, but you can make it power it fine, by using a 2xmolex ---> 6pin, and then 2x 6pin ---> 8pin

Both the 280 and 760 need one 6pin + 8pin power connector.

lol on the nvidia website it says 2x6pin

Look at the pics on newegg that all have 6+8pin. One has a single 8pin though.

Power connectors vary by card these days, unless its a reference card, Nvidia/AMD specs don't mean anything.

do you actually need to post link to a crappy unreliable website?

which gtx 760 2gb gddr3 has just 2x6pins?what about the msi 760?on website they dont mention this

[iceman0124]

I don't think GDDR3 760 cards exist, the desktop 760's are GDRR5 only . Reference 760 cards have 2X6 pin as do the majority of custom design cards, but there are versions like ultra low profile in the Gigabyte Brix that has a full non mobile 760 that I don't think uses external power from what I've seen (could be wrong,) and you have cards like the Asus Striker Platinum that's has 1x6 pin and 1X8 pin. As stated before, unless you are looking at straight reference design cards, you have to look at the particular model if you need accurate specs as they all vary these days.

my laptop Gpu has GDDR3....

And just how is your laptop chip with GDDR3 relevant to the discussion? Also if you read the entire first sentence of my post I state " the desktop 760's are GDDR5 only" ....
