Need A Gaming GPU

[warmerplace212]

Hello im Buidling my first pc but my question is what would be a better graphics card for gaming.

well i dont know what to choose,because i have a budget on everything i try to stay under the 200 mark for gpus

but im looking for a asus gtx 950 strix or a asus r7 370 4g strix well what is better for gaming i would say the 370 because of there 256 bits and 4gb vram 

but because of the 950 their 6650 mhz memory speed i dont know what to choose can maybe someone help me

The 950 performs better but see if you can push your budget a little and get an R9 380. Also, welcome to the forums and please remember to follow your own threads

R9 380...You can find them under 200$

Generally at less than the top-end cards, you get more performance for the $ with Radeon.  But remember when comparing cards, don't look at the memory speed or frequency or number of cores/stream processors, etc. - it's all useless information to compare across brands because they work very differently.  Just look at benchmarks that show proven performance in the games you care about.

in usd yes, i agree on your choice, but it still depends on how he feels using crimson, IMO GeForce experience is still better, and easier to use.

You can probably find a 960 or a 380 for under 200$.

But if for some reason you can't, get the 950.

yes but i live in europe so its a bit different but the cheapest 380 is this one: https://azerty.nl/0-5829-834177/msi-radeon-r9-380-2gd5t-oc-grafische-kaart-radeon-r9-380-2-gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-2-x-dvi-hdmi-displayport.html?channel_code=544&s2m_product_id=834177&gclid=CIzQlIjTysoCFRVmGwod0qgCSw

True, but I use crimson, and it's not that bad, considering I almost never use it lol. But the only reason to get a nvidia card in this price point is for shadowplay, if you're not recording, then get AMD..

Still a lot better than a 950 or 370.

I've put both a 950 and a 380 into recent builds lately, and both people were completely happy with them.  At their price points they are the cards I would go with if I was looking for myself.

Good, have fun with your new card!

[Nena Trinity]

You want a 380/4GB or 380X!

[warmerplace212]

no just a 380

[MartenM]

950 is the better one, but like everyone else i'd go with a 380.

I would check YouTube. There are some great channels such as MW technology who's comparisons focus not only  on fps but also thermals and other aspects of using the cards. Otherwise just search it up on YT you are sure to find a detailed breakdown and comparison of the two cards. New user hope this helps!

 

Also as a side note-maybe try to push your budget a little and see if you can get some more performance per dollar just my advice. 

 

Again what CPU will you be using and what are you aiming for in terms of this PC? I can't give the best answer but with some extra info some others might be able to.
