Best 960

[munchlax]

I can buy gigabyte windforce 2x oc or msi the black&white one , which performs better by noise, less coil wine, better oc,lowest temps ? Also how much fps can i improve by oc ?

 

Will the gigabyte perform better because of my gigabyte motherboard ?

I have have no idea and to at least answer the last part. Gigabyte card won't perform better on a Gigabyte board.

wouldnt even buy a 960, its worse than the 770 from 2 years ago, may aswell get an r9 280x.

For most other cards, the G1/Windforce cards are the best, but on the 960 it has only 2 fans like any other 960, right? So technically if theyre the same in terms of fans and cooling, I would go for either one.

960s outperform 770s in many tests and many games, believe it or not.

not in any that ive seen.

not in any that ive seen.

It trades blows depending on games, tests, etc.

There are also other reasons to consider a 960 (not trying to fanboy either)

IMO, the 4gb strix card is the best 960

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

The one that's $30 cheaper than the 280x

[munchlax]

my budget was 200 i raised to 220 i cant afford more because

 

1. 500 watt psu limits me

2.bottleneck

 

whats the difference between msi red/black from white/black except the color ?

You must be Ray Charles' ghost.

960 trades blows with the 280x.

However the 960 is fully DX12 compatible and doesn't burst into flames and consume more power than Las Vegas at night.

gigabyte windforce 2x oc 

 

OR

 

msi the black&white

 

 

 

 

Correct?

 

My friend bought this one. ~210€

 

Veeery quiet and is OC'd as good as the Gigabyte Windforce, runs smoothly with a i5 4440 on a 400W beQuiet Straight Power 10 PSU lol.

Not that I know of.

 

MSI's Gaming series (Red) is always good though.

 

Not sure if a GTX960 is worth 230€, a 280X Vapor X Tri-X costs the same and steamrolls the 960.

 

But on the other hand needs a good PSU and is louder (triple fan).

EVGA but do yourself a favor and get a 280, 285 or 380 instead! Or hell even get a 970 if you most go green team!

every benchmark shows 960 better than 280 and very close to r9 285 . also 500 watt psu cant handle them

[munchlax]

Oh look if EVGA FTW has better clock speed and I am sure your PSU can handle the 380 but its weird cause here a 380 is same price as a 960...
