i5 4460 & MSI GTX 750 Ti OR MSI GTX 950 OC

[WARCorporation]

Hi,

 

I've been wondering which graphics card is better: MSI GTX 750 Ti -- OR -- MSI GTX 950 OC Edition.

http://www.fnac.pt/mp1095259/MSI-GeForce-GTX-750Ti-GAMING vs https://www.pcdiga.com/2/20437/Grafica-MSI-GTX-950-Armor-2GD5T-OC-GTX-950-2GD5T-OC

 

I'll be playing games like GTA 5 (Medium to High), Minecraft with shaders (Medium to High)... etc

 

Thanks in advance.

the 950 is better in every scenario except one:

when you dont have a 6-pin power connector available, the 750ti is pretty much the best you can get.

The 950 is the stronger card, so get that.

950 is better but I urge you to wait for the RX 470. Honestly, Maxwell is not worth at this point in time

@manikyath Does the CX 430W Corsair PSU 80+ bronze atx have 6-pin have that connector thing?

@App4that Alright

You keep saying Maxwell in the general, stop that.

But Pascal and Polaris are here and have actual DX12 support ._.

CX430 is shit and needs to be replaced first.

don, seriously, are you ever gonna not recommend amd over nvidia?

at least give OP an expected release time if you're gonna try to twist his/her mind.

CX430 is not meant for a 120W 950 ._. - the heat won't be nice to it.

So does the 980ti, proven in multiple benchmarks...

i'm actually considering buying one of the blue label CX's before they are entirely replaced by the white label CX's, and see if they're really the horror story people make them out to be...

now, if OP decides to wait 2-3 weeks thats something to consider, if OP wants his/her system now, that's not an option.

Please buy a CX430 and try your 970 on it. I want to see the fireworks

2nd hand? 970 or 390

And how long until they are in stock?

tbh, i'd rather go an 8GB 390 at this point, especially with OP mentioning GTA V, which really likes its vram.

 

and implying OP likes the GTA series, who knows what horrendous vram hog GTA VI will be

 

EDIT: and implying GTA V is a console port, and consoles run AMD, i guess that cant hurt either

More VRAM is always better than not enough VRAM

Not long honestly - unlike Pascal yields are better with smaller dies and the RX family thus far.

we cant tell what the future will hold, for all we know tomorrow AMD will have to announce their fab labs caught fire.

 

while that's hilareously unlikely, there's just factors we dont have in our control

[WARCorporation]

Alright. I've decided. I'll buy the GTX 950 and a CX 500W 80+ Bronze from Corsair.

Didn't they sell off their fabs a long time ago?

rephrase: "the fabs that were making the chips"

So where are the 480s?
