Which is better? MSI RX 550 AERO ITX 4G OC or EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB ?  I know there's more vram on the RX 550 4GB, but would that make up for a performance loss if any compared to the GTX 960?

Can you find a used 970 instead? Im seeing them go for around $180 USD on Ebay.

Within the 2 GB limit, the 960 should be faster. Hit that point (an easy feat nowadays), and the card gets very heavily penalized and a (somewhat) weaker 4GB card will perform faster.

My eyes see the past…

My camera lens sees the present…

Nope, I'm poor and was given these both by friends of mine, I'm just wanting to know which would be better
