Should I get a Gtx 960 or should I suck it up and save for the extra money for the 970?

[GSTARR]

suck it up...assuming that sucking it up doesn't include anything over three months or anything ridiculous

[Arwanell]

better question would be 380 or 390?

seriously, unless you don't want to go red

[AlphaGamer46]

Depends on what you want to do.

 

I game on a 960 and it doesn't miss a beat. If you want the newest thing, get the 970 as it will probably last longer.

 

If you want it now though, get a 960. You won't notice a difference. I play all of my games on a 960 on highest graphics settings and haven't seen any lag whatsoever.

Get an R9 380

what games will you be playing? what is the rest of your build?

 

an r9 390 is a better choice than a 970 by the way

Well I'm desperate for a good graphic card because I'm without one right now so? Does anyone have any suggestions for any other graphics card in the 200 range?

[Pepi28]

Which brand of 960 do you want to go with? More importantly, the 2g or 4g model. I currently use the msi 960 4g, running all my games (fallout 4, battlefront, gta V, project cars, black ops 3 are some examples) pretty much maxed out at 1080p, with the lowest frames being in the 40s (for gta v, which actually isnt maxed out).

 

Anyways, if you don't mind waiting go for the 970, you will get more out of it in the future. But trust me, at 1080p the 960 will definitely not let you down! (the 4g variant at least)

again, it depends on what you'll be playing and at what resolution

[Bananasplit_00]

how long would saving up for a 390 take, its a litle more then the 970 but way better. id say not to go with a 960 because of the bang for your buck but if it would take long to save up for something better then i guess its not bad

It costs a little less (Powercolor PCS+ at $279.99 after rebate)

I don't mind waiting but over 350 I get a little unpaitent unless a holiday or like birthday or something is coming

Fallout 4 is very poorly optimized so your gpu won't make much of a difference in performance - for medium a 960/380 is just fine (assuming 1080p). If you want ultra get a 390.

[FatPenguin]

If you are getting a 960 make sure you get the 4gb version or else in game like GTA V and other games that use a lot of VRam and 2gb is not really "Future Proof"

If you are gonna save up for a 970 make sure you get one with a good cooler such as EVGA or Gigabyte.

If you want to go for AMD and get more performance for your money I would the 390 not the X just the regular 390 

[spikeyd]

Well actually if I get good grades by the end of the school year I can get the Gtx 970 probably.

[spikeyd]

Well my rig is a I5-6500 SR2BX 3.20GHZ, 600 watt powersupply, H170 PRO GAMING motherboard by asus, 16 gigabytes of ram, and a 1TB Hard Drive. and I need a graphics card so what should I get with this setup , I can always upgrade my powersupply.

no difference? what are you talking about?

 

ther's a huge leap from 970 to 960

 

and about maxing out the games, how? either you have 720p screen, or you play at 40FPS, or you play LoL,CSGO

my 390(which is usually better than the 970) can't max out some games

[Axdfsdf]

I would get the MSI Geforce GTX 750ti graphics card, comes with DirectX12 which is good. It's only about $140 off Newegg and its got 4096 x 2160 resolution.

I'd say save dude. You'll be a much more happy camper. Even with 3.5GB.
