What is the nvidia equivalent of the XFX R9 380 Double Dissipation 4GB?

 

(Don't judge me on my liking for Nvidia, its the only brand i have used)

A 4gb 960.

That would be the GTX  960, but this "equivalent" is anywhere from 5-10% less powerful in games, and costs the same or more. It's not a great value if you live anywhere in NA. 

GAMING PC "Ol' Bessie":

Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Radeon RX 9070 XT | Gigabyte B650M AORUS Elite AX | G.Skill Flare X5 6000MT/s CL36 16GBx2 | 5TB of SSD POWER | EVGA SuperNOVA 850W GT | Noctua NH-U14S | Fractal Design Pop! Mini AirCachyOS

 

Kind Of A Home Lab "Bay":

Ryzen 9 5900XT | Intel ARC A310 | ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS | T-FORCE 3200MT/s 16GBx2 + Corsair 3200MT/s 32GBx2 = 96GB!!! WOW!! | 2TB boot SSD + 8TBx6 HDD RaidZ2 | EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2 | Phanteks Enthoo Pro M | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

 

The Laptop:

Framework Laptop 13 | Intel i5-1340p | G.Skill Ripjaws 3200MT/s 16GBx2 | Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB | CachyOS

Need it for some video editing, apparently Nvidia cards are better for that (After effects)

I wouldn't get a Gigabyte personally, the EVGA is a better card with better customer service. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Depending on your CPU the 960 4g is the better card anyway because of less driver overhead. 

My CPU is a i5 4460

What are your plans for your wireless? That adapter is horrid, it'll work for internet browsing but will drive you crazy if you try and transfer/game with it. And my suggestion is to spend a little extra while ram is cheap and get 16g, if you're editing it will come in handy.

I don't plan to use the wireless adaptor, i have ethernet jacks in my house, but what adaptor would you reccomend (Must be 5Ghz)? 

and i plan to spring for 16gb very soon after the build.

For gaming? AC or don't bother. Before I got my Asus I always felt bad being "that" guy in the room with the monster ping.

 

For surfing, that one will work, though I had that one and the wifes Dongle worked better. That sounded funny.

Its more of a failsafe or for when i take my Pc to somewhere without ethernet jacks. But just one question: What is AC? (To me its the power that comes through my socket)

It's an adapter that takes advantage of 5g, so a 5g wireless router is required. Not cheap, my router cost more than my 390 cost me when I bought them.

The card i chose apparently supports 5Ghz, and i have my ISP provided virgin media 5Ghz router. (With a 200mb line)

This is the adapter I bought. So you get an idea of the differences.
