GTX 960 Question

[The_Denks]

Hey there

 

What is the difference between 04G-P4-1961-KR and 04G-P4-3961-KR.

They are the same price, and look identical

 

 

Also, is this a good GPU for a first time build?

04G-P4-3961-KR

I was going to get the ACX 2.0 version, but it has been out of stock for a while, and the rebate ends soon

why gtx 960 of all things

My question is why you are buying such an overpriced GTX 960? For that price you can get a RX 480.

[Vode]

Get an Rx 480 for that price. lol

 

It's way faster.

I'm on a very tight budget.

These are only 170.

A RX 480 or 470 are way out of my price range.

lol ok tho. the rx 470 4gb is 180 still.

and the r9 380 performs better still.

 

Legit no difference buy the one which is cheaper

 

[GirlFromYonder]

@UberGamerKing an rx 460 will be cheaper and will perform better

[GirlFromYonder]

@UberGamerKing an rx 460 will be cheaper and will perform better

No the GTX 960 is faster than the RX 460.

 

But:

 

The R9 380x is faster AND cheaper than the GTX 960.

To attempt to answer your original question, I don't think theres a difference.  Their clock speeds and coolers are the same (link).  I didn't see the 3961 as widely available over here though (on major retailers).  If I had to guess, one may have an slightly different/newer bios, or may be a model for a certain region.  But you'll probably not see any performance difference between the two.  If you had to pick, go for the cheaper one.

 

Now for my recommendation, you could honestly get a gtx 950 2gb and have almost the same performance - the 2gb doesn't make a huge difference on that level of performance.  Or save up a little and get a newer and much better card like the 470/1060 (another $60 or so will get you 60% more performance).  Used 970s are also going for super cheap and well within your budget (and that card would blow away a 960).
