Hi everyone 

 

It is that time when a graphics card upgrade is needed.

I'm stuck between team green and red when it comes to the GTX960 4gb vs the R9 380 4gb. Both of them are from MSI

 

I only really game at 720p and i dont always game as most times im doing 3D designs and website templates

 

Which should I go for or am i going overkill?

 

Specs:

Amd A10 7860k

1TB toshiba 7200rpm

Corsair vs450

8gb 1600mhz ram

The 380 hands down. However I would recommend the RX 480. The RX 480 is only $200 from MSI right now and its so much better than either of these cards.

If you're playing at 720p you could easily max out pretty much any game with a 750ti. Not sure why you're looking at GPUs that are for 1080p 60 FPS gaming.

If you want tu run The Division properly, get the RX 470 or the RX 480 if you can afford it.

I love how the OP posted on the wrong subforum but got answered anyway.

 

For me I'd recommend RX 470 or GTX 1050Ti if you're on a budget, the latest generation generally is more power efficient and more powerful.
