Heey guys,

 

so like the tile says i need a new GPU. Atm I own a MSI 750Ti 2G, it is a great GPU for the budget do not get me wrong but a better one is always better.

 

My budget is 200 Euros. I live in the Netherlands in case you need to know it.

 

www.Azerty.nl

www.alternate.nl

 

That are the sites we use in the Netherlands.

 

Im thinking about the GTX 950 MSI gaming edition is that a good choice?

 

Btw sorry for my English Im from the Netherlands.

Hi Doon.

I'd reccomend the EVGA FTW Edition GTX 950, it costs 192 Euros and with this price leaves you with 8 Euro to spend. (Not like it would go far, anyways)
 

OR. If you could spend an extra 20 Euro or so, you could be able to get the EVGA GTX 960 SSC.


These are both on SCAN, but I am sure if it doesnt work for you, there will be an Netherland equivelant.
950:

960:

Hope I could help,
James.

DO NOT, I repeat do NOT upgrade from a 750 Ti to a 950. I will feal like a huge waste of money. I will be waaaay better to save up for something more powerful.

R9 380 - 15% more powerful than a 960 and can actually use 4GB of VRAM as well as properly work with DX12. It draws only 15W more than a 960

A 950 ain't worth it - it's a marginally better card than the OCed 750 Ti. 380 will really be a good boost to performance.

Not really - you lose 2GB of usable VRAM, you lose 15% performance and you don't gain anything. Power consumption is identical and thermals are VERY close

i wouldn't recommend low end gpu from nvidia... I would get a r9 380 or get a 970 if you like nvidia

but the 960 isn't good enough for the price if you can get a 970 for just 100 bucks more which is way better.

I guess yes but the 390 is better at that price point :/

A 960 would be ok but only a 50% improvemend which is only "meeh" if you take the into consideration that the basline is a 750 Ti.

Have a look at this:

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-960-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti

 

It would still be a noticeable improvement.

The 380 is better in almost all games you can find though(one exception is GTA V with tied performance).

A 390 is 390 euros and a 960 is 215 euros so 390 is out of the order xD

380, not 390. 390 is a LOT faster than a 960.

Does the page I have the info from defeat the purpose of the info? No.

Now matter where I would have gotten this from the results would be the same.

In addition I would reconsider the way you are talking to people.
