Difference Between 950 and 960?

[chikencs]

As the title says it, I am either going to buy a 950 and get 8gb of some better ram, or I will buy a 960 and use my old ram for a while until I can save up for better ram, need help on the differences

How much ram do you currently have? Also a 950 has cut processors, the same chip but with less processing units, i'm sure someone can come up with a better explanation though

960 is just faster than the 950?

btw: the 4 Gb frame buffer doesn't improve FPS in games where you are not using more than 2 Gb

Define "better" ram.

Ram is Ram, as long as it's not some no-name brand, all ram is good.

How much ram do you currently have and what brand is it?

It really depends on what type of games you are going to play.

 

If you just play Mobas/Strategy/Visual novel games, you'll have enough with a 950.

If you want to play more graphically demanding games, skip the 960 and go for a r9 380, (more VRAM and more or less the same performance for the price). Personally I dislike the 960, little VRAM and just OK performance.

 

then just use whatever money you have left to fit your PC with some ram - Id recommend at least 8GB in total (if you ahve 8GB already no need for more, you can buy it later).

 

As @JebKerman signature says: Aftermarket 980Ti > Reference 980Ti = Fury X > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 > 380 >= 960 > 370 >= 950 > 750Ti = 360 (IMO reference980>furyX, just take care of the thermals)
