How can a manufacturer release a card with the same chipset at a significantly lower price?
What do they cut out to lower the cost?
It cant be just manufacturing costs.
Opinion on a 960 MSI?
Differences between 2 and 4 gb?

380x>380>960
Usually, there is a reference card with both Nvidia and AMD. Usually those have rear blowers and they are the cheapest.
The reason why some chipset are cost more because off better materials, better cooler version or more Warranty.
But seriously dude get the 380 4GB. Its better in DX11, and will be better in DX12. MSI is fine

The only reason i prefer the 960 is the linux drivers..
For 20euros more i could get a sapphire 380x but then i would have to dual boot windows in order to play anything, and sadly this is not an option.

Ahh, I understand!
In that case if you want to use for Linux, Pic related is a great one! Altough AMD is working hard on Linux support in the few couple months.

This looks really promising, but i think i will not risk it and get the 960.
What did you mean to upload?
>>53375913
I meant your picture. The MSI 960 4gb version

Np. What games you want to play btw?
>>53376039
No plans yet, the only games i have been playing past 6 months are WoW burning crusade and Kerbal Space Program, due to a shitty 2009 laptop..
Latest fallout and gta V are high on my list, along with Far Cry and non-lagging KSP
>>53376218
Ohmm if you planning to game on Linux, some triple AAA games aren't avaible on that. Pretty sure GTA 5 and any Far Cry is not on Linux
>>53376259
Gta V is pretty much the only reason i will also dual boot windows!
Ok maybe some uni related programs as well, but not that much
>>53376289
Ah alright then. If you just gonna play GTA V on Windows, I recommend you getting Windows 10. Who knows, maybe you find a newer DX12 game which runs better on that
>>53376310
I will probably end up getting my hands dirty with windows 10 although i really dont want to, but i guess dx12 is the only way to go..

What is hdmi 2.0 you faggot?
2.0>1.4a
960 has 2.0 thus 960>380X>380
>>53377711
>2016
>using hdmi
I shiggy
>>53377711
Oh no, No HDMI 2.0
>>53375691
You could get a 290x for that price. Or a 380.
Why the fuck would you buy a 960. It's like you want less frames per second.

Kinda a thing for playing 4k on your TV m8. Sorry you can't with your trashmd cards.
>>53379866
...
Who the fuck has a 4k TV? Are there even cable plans that support 4k? I know some Blu rays do, but who the hell drops a few grand on a TV for the occasional movie?
All 4k monitors use DisplayPort these days, so it ain't the same thing.
>>53379866
Hey retard, this is literally cost less then $10
>>53380306
Oh get rekt

>>53380469
That's an active adapter it adds latency.
>>53380270
