Which One?

Need Assistance Please!

 

I am currently watching these two cards! The Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 2GB and Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 4GB. Which one is worth it? A typical person will choose the Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 4GB because it has more VRAM right? But have seen the specifications they two have the same Wattage and the Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 4GB has 1.63% (1.25 GHz) increase in Core Clock. Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 4GB is $399 NZD and Asus GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 2GB is $319.95 NZD! Worth while or not?

If it's in your budget go for the 4GB card, it'll last you longer.

The 4GB card is better if you can afford it.

Good luck, Have fun, Build PC, and have a Wii and PS2 as your only consoles.

So a 25% increase in price for 2gigs of vram and really nothing else, I wouldn't waste my money, but I also wouldn't be buying a 960 anyway so my opinion is kind of from a point of unrelatability

The 4gb will allow for higher texture resolutions so if you like to play games at high texture settings the buy the 4 GB one. The .25 GHz is also good

Please don't listen to them.

I have the 4gb MSI GTX 960, but the 2gb one would work just as well infact its not worth the money as the Memory bus is only 128 bits so you cant utilize the 4gb.

At the price range the AMD R9 380 is better. 

infact the R9 380X just came out which is probably the best Price to performance for you're budget.
