960 vs 970 need some advice please.

[Bishop235]

Alright so I need some advice. Debating on either a 960 or a 960 4gb card, and I cannot make a decision if the 970 is worth the extra cash. Computer will be used for gaming and school work. Just curious would a 960 run a game like the witcher 3, metal gear 5 very well also same question for a 970.

Moved to Graphics Cards.

970

If you can afford the 970 I would go with that instead. you will get better performance and the Witcher 3 does need a good amount of power to run at a stable 60fps.

I would get the 970

Thank you everyone.

The 970 is a far better card. The 960 4gb isn't really a great value.

970

 

Too bad you didn't get one about a month or 2 ago. Could of gotten Witcher 3 and Batman for free if you bought a Nvidia gpu.

I recommend the 970. If you don't want to spend the extra money I suggest you look at other cards instead of the 960 such as the 280x.

the 970 is much more powerful than the 960...the 960 compares somewhat to a 760 and the 970 compare to a 780 but faster...defenetly worth it to go with the 970 unless you play ''not so demanding'' games...if you want GTA5 to run on high/ultra at 1080p 60FPS you want a 970.

970.

 

The 960 is a joke.

Witcher 3 wants all the GPU horsepower you can throw at it, it's about the most demanding game out right now for GPUs. Here is a comparison of the performance; there is a huge gulf between the 960 and 970 in this game. And Witcher 3 is a pretty amazing game, it's exactly the kind of title we all build powerful custom PCs to play.

960 is a joke, through personal experience, 970>960. No discussion.
