GPU Memory Bus speed
Go to solution
Solved by typographie,
Hey guys, (this isn't austin...)
I'm deciding between a 4GB GTX 960, and the R9 280x (3GB) and I don't know if the bus speed would affect in game FPS.
I would be running games on a 1600p monitor (16:10 equivalent of a 1440p) with an i5-4670 and 8GB ram.
Thanks in advance!
The R9 280X is a bit faster (though I don't think it's just because of the memory bus), and the larger amount of VRAM might help in a couple of games at that resolution. Either card is kind of on the edge for playing new games at 2560x1600 and 60 FPS though, so there might be some visual sacrifices to be made. If you can step up to an R9 290 (preferably a third-party cooled 290), it would be worth it in my opinion.
