Which GPU?...

[LordPugIII]

Hiya...

 

I have a choice of 2 GPU's.

 

I am going to mainly be playing CSGO and have a 4690k processor w/ 16GB 1866mhz ram.

 

1: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kfa2-geforce-gtx-960-reference-4096mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-retail-gx-085-kf.html (Remember, this is a 4GB model!)

2: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WHJJ86E

 

Which will be better, shall I go w/ the more renowned brand and only get 2gb or shall I go with a little more unknown brand and get 4gb? I know there is not much difference between FPS, but the 4gb does give a little bit more.

 

Cheers.

r9 380 no need for a 960 when the 380 is better

neither. get a 380/x

[JeffreyEagan]

4GB model. Can't beat having more Vram.

[ismma99]

id say wait for more money since you can get a bifier card taht way if you have the time to wait that is

The thing is, NVIDIA gameworks games are not good for AMD gpu's.

 

But I want shadowplay...

Don't be one of those please shadowplay is nothing much and yes i have had it , its good but does not give any advantage to your gameplay

One of ,,those'' are like the console peasants

For Cs:GO you won't need more than 2gb of VRAM, but the Kfa2 might be better for more demanding games. However I have never heard of the brand.

Ok so two of my friends got new gpus like 2 months ago a 970 and a 290

the 290 beat the 970's ass in everything although it had shadowplay

The gaming evolve is also good but why do you need shadowplay tell me 

[don_svetlio]

R9 380 is 15% faster. If you can live with a considerably weaker GPU for more money just for shadowplay then go for a 960.

[xAcid9]

The Turbo cooler is slightly better between the 2, but 4GB is 4GB.

But... why not add another 10 quids and grab https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kfa2-geforce-gtx-960-ex-oc-black-edition-4096mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-retail-96nqh8d-gx-084-kf.html or https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-960-windforce-4096mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gv-n960wf2oc-4gd-gx-162-gi.html. Much better cooling perf and 4GB.

It's a sub-par GPU for more money - that is considerably worse.

i didn't deny that, i just said that the 380 is not always faster

yeah, and i call it bullshit. im not for believing any shit i hear on the internet, especially with no evidence.

970 from evga vs 290 from sapphire

the 970 guy had my cpu i5-4460 and the 290 guy had an fx 8350

in gta 5 the 290 won

warframe also

lost in battlefield 4 lol

It didn't sound right to me either. But maybe that was the case?

dude my 280 was better than a 960 i didnt believe it also but i saw it for myself 

 

[NicekillBG]

@LordPugIII I just saw your build woah man please get the 380 just because of the raw more power , it will be a mistake saving money to get a worse gpu

[App4that]

The obvious answer with their CPU is 380, why are we arguing this?

15% is derived from a large array of games tested.

380 is a fantastic card, you'll be very happy with it. If you have the ability the 380x would give you a fully unlocked chip, worth consideration IMO. But not mandatory.
