GTX 960 2GB vs 4GB

[ric96]

I am saving up to buy an asus strix gtx 960. Now, it does come in two variants 2gb and 4gb.

i might be able to squeeze a little more out of my budget to get a 4gb version...

But, is it worth it?

 

my workload includes

gaming at 1080p with moderately heavy  games and GTA 5 is a must... not a very hardcore gamer

Editing videos on Premier Pro and moderate use of after effects.

 

thnx

Is a 4GB R9-380 in budget where you live?

Some games have stuttering on 2GB cards and getting a 4GB card will remove that stutter.

I'm on the green team, also i said after effects... it requires CUDA and then you also get nvidia game stream.

thnx, looks like 4gb it is

380 4gb.

I'm afraid it's signifcantly more expensive in India as most the GPUs of AMD cost almost double, Nvidia is a bit better in pricing policy compared to them, at least here.

true, 

also nvidia is way more easily available

Definitely worth it. That 4GB frame buffer will come in handy for what you do. In fact I believe nVidia is phasing out the 2 gig cards in favor of 4GB only. Good luck.

If you buy a GTX960 please don´t cheap out and buy the 2GB version. Instead save your money and get the 4GB version it is significantly better than the 2GB version and puts you in a safe zone in 1080p for a good long while memory wise.

On top of that it features HDMI 2.2 and H.265 so a good card for gaming in 1080p and works also good as media card. I´d consider it for my girl friend´s PC if she didn´t already have a GTX970 hehe.

I own a GTX EVGA 960 2GB and it has done well, and gets the job done! For it being a small GPU it works wonders! Whatever CPU that you have (i3-i7) will help you as well, I run about a 40FPS in GTAV with my i3. Go with the 960 2GB, It will do wonders!
