GeForce GTX 960

Hello guys,

 

I am planning on buying the GTX 960. However, which GTX 960 would be the best for the price? Which brand should I choose? 

 

 

Thanks!

the cheapest one from evga,gigabyte, msi, or asus would be my guess but i would get the gigabyte g1 gaming version also remember to follow your topics

If you're going to get a 960, I would recommend getting the MSI twin frozr V, as it's pretty cheap, is an outstanding cooler and has generally better overclocking potential than the likes of asus.

 

However, I would suggest if you hadn't already, to look at the AMD R9 280(x) as it's a similar price, infact cheaper in most places, and offers better performance and will last longer before needing to be upgraded due to the greater memory & bandwith.

i'm not disagreeing with you about getting a 280 but this video shows that the 960 does quite well against the 280x

The MSI TWIN FORZER V but I however reccomend Saphire Radeon R9 280 for $30 less for 35% more performance

I have looked at the R9 280 and R9 280x. However, as games get intenser, I am planning to SLI a 960. And as I have heard, SLI performs better than CrossfireX. 

 

 

I think that the EVGA SuperSC version of the 960 looks pretty hot, the black theme fits my build whilst the Twin Frozr V version of MSI has the colour red in it which would look ugly in my case.

ok than get the evga but afaik crossfire has gotten better and performs closer to sli

Are you looking for performance or colour? If you need performance then you need to sacrifice the colour.
