GTX 770 2GB Reference Card vs Zotac GTX 960 2GB Question

Hello LTT Forum,

 

I have the opportunity to get a new graphics card, but stuck between the decision of a GTX 770 2GB Reference Card, or a Zotac GTX 960 2GB Card. Which is the better card and for what reason? 

I mainly play CSGO, PUBG, and stream so having a second monitor would be great while having a stable 200+ fps in CSGO.

 

The current specs I have are as shows:

 

Intel i5-6500

GTX 750 TI

16GB RAM

Gigabyte H110M-A

Corsair CX500M

1TB Hard Drive

240GB SSD

 

Thanks,

 

PWD

A 770 used to be faster but now it's old and since it's a reference I'd go with Zotac 960 

 

 

Here is how it performs against current cards.

How much are you spending? are you sure you can't spend on something like an RX 570?

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

I have a GTX770 Asus, not the ref card and I got 200fps+ on csgo, but this card run quite hot, and the power consumption is way to high. 

I think you should go for the 960 best perf/watt ratio, less heat, and maybe a tinybit faster

As the others have stated the GTX 770 should be the faster card, however due to crappy driver implementation on older cards by Nvidia, I'd stick with the newer one - GTX 960.
