Choosing between 960s

[ainslie]

So I'm looking at getting a GTX 960 4GB card but I'm not sure which brand to go with.

I've mainly been looking at:

Gigabyte's full length 4GB 960

EVGA's 960 SC ACX 2.0+ 4GB

MSI's 960 4GB Card

ASUS's 960 4GB Card

 

I'm open to any and all suggestions

Thanks in advance

don't get a 4GB 960 its a waste of money.

I've heard the Sapphire Dual-X R9 380 is a good 960 :^)

EVGA if you must

EVGA if you really need a 960 (cuda) , but i would strongly suggest a 380 or even a 380x

MSI, for the overclocking

Sorry, I should have said that sadly I am not able to consider an AMD card. I am a software development student, currently working on a project involving CUDA GPGPU.

I'd say EVGA! Totally a good card!

EVGA GTX 960

The R9 380 can achieve higher average frame rates in most games, compared to a GTX 960.
But the GTX 960 will achieve higher minimum frame rates in most games. You'll see less FPS drops with a GTX 960.

 

A lot of people will also tell you, that a GTX 960 doesn't have the memory bandwith to use its 4GB of memory properly, which isn't true at all.

If that was a problem, we wouldn't see such consistend minimum frame rates with that chip.

 

Personally, I think the GTX 960 is a much better card, but I would still recommend you a R9 380, simply because I want that AMD sells more cards and because you will most likely not see the difference. Another reason is that the R9 380 is often cheaper than a GTX 960.

Anyways, if you still want to get a GTX 960, then I would buy the EVGA ACX 2.0 card, because of its cooler.
The fans have a 3 phase 6 slot motor design, which makes them very quiet.
