Posted February 15, 2016 I know they're about the same, but is it worth it giving extra 50$ for the 960m 4gb , or just go with the 860m 4gb? Laptops are exatly the same in every other way including screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 15, 2016 the 960M is clocked faster than the 860M and i believe the only pros of getting the 960M is because of the DX12 support http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960M.138006.0.html vs http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-860M.107794.0.html Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible. Quote whom you're replying to, and set option to follow your topics.

Posted February 15, 2016 I'd rather go with 960m. Since this is a laptop and we can't upgrade in the future, better go with something faster right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is the higher clock. i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz (Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo); ASrock Z87 EXTREME4; 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 RAM @ 2133MHz; Asus DirectCU GTX 560; Super Flower Golden King 550 Platinum PSU;1TB Seagate Barracuda;Corsair 200r case.

Posted February 15, 2016 I'd go for the 960m, it's a maxwell, which means lower power requirements which in turn results in less heat and thus less thermal throttling. “I like being alone.

Posted February 15, 2016 1. I confused the 860 with the 870 that I have 2. My point still stands. Seems some 860m's are kepler while some are maxwell. “I like being alone.

Not really. 860M Kepler is no-longer being made and hasn't been produced in over a year.
