Best gtx 960

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Hello I'm looking at a gtx 960 for my first build but I don't know which one to go for I will be playing at 1080p near max setting I also only have a 600w PSU so I think a R9-280x or R9-290 is our off the question. Thanks in advance

r9 290 with 600w is perfect.

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Really do you know which one is the best

Thanks

Thanks

sapphire tri-x is cheap and good

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Ok I look into it thanks

Edit: the R9-290 is over £320 in my country which is over £120 more than the gtx 960. Would I be able to get a r9-280X on 600w

I have the g1 gaming and I love it

[Nena Trinity]

280, 290, 380 & 390 are all better to get than 960!

Really on all the benchmark's I've seen the 960 beat the 280 at 1080p

It should not, but what benchmark?

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Battlefield 4,gta v ect however it wasn't some one I recognised and I'm not sure of there were any overclocks

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Anyone sure on the 280 vs 960 in Benchmark's

[Nena Trinity]

Battlefield 4,gta v ect however it wasn't some one I recognised and I'm not sure of there were any overclocks

When I see benchmark tests the 280s wins over the 960 and the 380 is same price as 960 and it is even better!

(this one shows its damn close so a 280X sure is better and 280 is about same but in firestrike test 280 is far superior. Not to mention THIS GAME IS Nvidia OPTIMIZED! )

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Ok must of been the person I was watching then ill look into the 380

Edit: thank you so much looks perfect for me. Do you recommend the 4gb model

Yeah 3-4GB is good! 2GB is a bit low for 1080p.

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

Ok how are the drivers currently as I've never had amd before. also with an i5 4690k will it be fine on 600w

Which 600w model is that?

 

You need to ready yourself to install beta drivers.

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

It's a corsair cx600m PSU

If you're still considering a 960 get a Gigabyte G1 Gaming or EVGA SSC card. I have the EVGA SSC GTX 960 and it's great.

OK I've narrowed it down to these graphics cards, which one is best for 1080p near-max settings at under 600w total:

Are you shitting me? You can get an R9 390 for £270 from my local PC shop in the UK.

You'd be able to find it cheaper online.

I've only had a quick look but that's what they came up as on amazon.co.uk

EDIT: On newegg there only £270 so next time i should look further than amazon lol

[TeamThunderHawk5201]

I have the 2gb model

have you ever maxed out the 2gb at 1080p
