GTX960 difference.

[GeraldTing]

What is the difference between Asus GTX960 turbo Oc and Asus GTX960 Strix>

[HKZeroFive]

Not much except for the cooler.

 

R9 380 is even better.

The cooler

[Shoob]

The Asus Turbo is a failure. It lacks proper cooling on the VRMs.

 

 

The R9 380 offers better performance in most games and is usually priced the same.

If your choice is limited only between those two 960s, the Strix is the obvious choice.

Is that still true when overclocked?

380 gets hot

380 does not get hot. 380 is just as efficient. That myth and stereotype is so overused it's boring. 

OCed 960 = stock 380

OCed 380 = 15% faster once again

A Sapphire Nitro 380 doesn't even break 65*C

The 960 needs to be OCd to 1450-1500Mhz to match or slightly surpass the R9 380 @ stock.

Most R9 380 GPUs have sufficient cooling solutions and don't run hot at all.

My mistake, mistaking for r9 290x.

290X with a Vapor-X cooler stays under 70*C

The whole myth is caused by a poor reference cooler. Don't believe everything you read on the internet
