GETTING 960

[Kosta-Nedeljkovic]

Hey,guys i am getting GTX 960 graphics card and i wonder how good is that card actually.Will it run games like GTA V on high 1080 p or star citizen medium..

And is difference between 4gb and 2 gb version too big?

Nope...the 960 isn't exactly powerful enough to fully utilise a 4GB frame buffer so save some monies and get a 2GB card

Alrighty,can you just explain me that a bit more precise since i am not a professional with graphics cards..

Get a r9 380, I believe its faster (4gb version) 

[Citadelen]

Get a 4GB 380 instead, it's quite a bit faster.

That statement is completely false.

And

2gb isn't even worth it anymore.

 

If you plan to run GTA V on high settings your going to want as much VRAM as you can get.

An alternative for more performance is a R9 380, gives a 5-10% increase in performance but it consumes more power/hotter

 

The 960 on the other hand has a tad less performance but comes with cool features like Geforce experience, also runs cooler/Less power consumption

 

Its all your favor though, do you want features or more performance??

no, not really...

dont get the 2gb version unless you just want a gpu for very light gaming, not for AAA titles

 

edit: it probably wont use 4gb, but it sure as hell would cap the 2gb without a problem

I have a 4GB 960 and it runs GTA V on High at 60fps 1080p. Runs most things at ultra/high at 60fps just fine.

An alternative for more preformance is a R9 380, gives a 5-10% increase in preformance but it consumes more power/hotter

It's a good card. It can run some modern titles at high/medium if you have a 4GB version.

 

Also, consider the R9 380.

Intel CPU? Then R9 380 or 380x, AMD CPU? Then 960 4GB

There are LOADS of benchmarks for the GTX 960, just search them... For example:
