What is this for? Because it depends.

128-bit and 256-bit whats? Memory buses? Encryption? What are we talking about here?

 

I'll assume memory buses, in which case a 256-bit bus will allow better performance if and only if the VRAM would not be handled adequately by a 128 bit bus.

The only difference is bandwidth. Buuuuut if the graphics card can't utilize a 128-bit bus then there's no need for a 256-bit bus.

 

Answer: is there a big difference? Nope.

960 vs 380 I presume? Answer is 380

If you're talking about memory bus, no idea. If you're talking about encryption, hell yeah 256 bit is 2¹²⁸ times better encryption.

Edited. I mean in Memory Interface Width in graphics cards

Again, 128-bit bus bottlenecks the crap out of a 960. I am 99% sure that's what you mean. R9 380 is 15% faster

Ah okay. I don't know anything about that.

Which specific graphics cards are you comparing?

[ThinkWithPortals]

Edited. I mean in Memory Interface Width in graphics cards

Which GPUs, specifically?

[CodeLoid]

MSI GTX 960 and MSI R9 380

MSI GTX 960 and MSI R9 380

[don_svetlio]

Basically, a stock 380 still is better than a OCed 960. OCed 380 is best

[ThinkWithPortals]

MSI GTX 960 and MSI R9 380

R9 380 is better by about 10 to 15 percent on average, especially for the 4GB cards.

Thanks for the help everyone!
