950 or 750Ti?

[Freeeeezy]

I'm looking to get a nice graphics card for my light gaming rig. I know that this range of card is perfect for what I need because I never really played anything higher than CS:GO, LoL, or Minecraft. I've played with a 750Ti so I know that is works very well with those games, but I'm thinking about getting a new 950 (Not necessarily right now, but in maybe a month or two when it'll be a little cheaper). 

 

So should I go with the 950 or the 750Ti? (By the way I'm pretty biased towards the 950 because it's new hardware which I like and also because 95 is my favorite number.

A 960 only costs about $10 - $30 more than a 950.

270x

wrecks both by a fair margin and same price if not lower than the 950

I'd go 950 unless a Ti comes out.

950 is on par with the 270X. Surpasses it at times.

It's more towards $30 and I don't need to spend that much more because the 950 is all the card I could need. Remember (CS:GO, LoL, and Minecraft)? Not necessarily tough to run

Cheapest one I could find is $150, the rest are $170. The 950 is $160-$180.

You'd gain a whole lot more performance vs a 950. Spend more to save more

The R9 270X doesn't wreck the GTX 950 at all considering the GTX 950 and R9 270X beat the R7 370 by around 10-15%.

It's an up to a 16% gap depending on game.

It's not a big deal tho. So I'll have 400fps instead of 300fps in LoL. Doesn't really matter unless I have a 400hz monitor lol. I'm fine with the 950 or 750Ti

I was comparing them to the 750ti from what ive see the 950 is 25% faster than a 750ti while a 270x is 35% faster

Enough with the 270X, I have a CX430M and I don't want that power hungry card to slowly chew away at it. I don't like how AMD sacrifices power efficiency for 10fps.

Yeh I was about to say the same thing lol

And the 270X surely doesnt beat a 960, or at least Id hope it doesnt considering the 960 is supposed to be nearing a 770 in performance

Get a 950 or 960, truly I think the 60 is worth it since its literally like $20-$30 more And then maybe you can use a motion blur shader in MC

The GTX 960 handily beats the R9 270X, staying with the R9 380.

[Freeeeezy]

I understand that the 960 is an overall better value but really I don't need the extra performance. I will consider it just in case I maybe plan on playing some more graphically intense games.

Also remember though that it's after a rebate, so you're still paying $150 upfront and waiting 2 months for your $20 card to come to you.

Yeh, as I figured On par with 770/280X level

[Freeeeezy]

I feel like this turned in to a 270x vs 950 war lol. But in all seriousness I didn't see anyone say go with the 750Ti so I think I'm gonna go with the 950/960 depending on what the situation is because I'm not really gonna buy a new card until maybe a month or two from now.
