Hey /g/, I was thinking about upgrading my current computer by buying a new graphics card to replace my shitty Intel Integrated graphics. Would /g/ recommend the EVGA GTX 960 SSC? I'd also need a new Power Supply since I have a 280w, so what would be a good choice for PSU for the 960?
I have a 600W which is plenty for my gtx 960. go at least 500W
I have a 960. It performs well in low demand games (max out WoW without AA), . But it's disappointing in Witcher and other high demand games.
>>53508450
1. I have an EVGA 650W Gold psu and i powered my R9 280 and Quadro FX4800 just fine, powers my 290X just fine now too; for "futureproofing" id say atleast 600W
2. I have no real experience with nVidia cards besides my FX4800 and my friends 980TI, my friend has a 970 and loves it, look on YouTube for individial brand reviews based on operating temperature
also whats in your build? pics if possible
kek you could probably run it with the 280 depending on your cpu (since you have intel im certain), so go for a new 350/400w

>Even considering the gtx 960

Yea, frogposting will get your point across.

>even considering AMD
why would you buy a midrange gpu that needs a high end i7 to power it?

im guessing you only have the 2 gig version, OP is talking bout the 4 gig version.
what i wanna know though is wtf is the difference other then price of a 760 6 gig and a 960 4 gig.
>>53512023
760 4 gig*
>>53512023
performance, power draw and maxwell architecture improvements.
>>53512023
>higher performance
>lower power draw
>lower thermal production
>better OC performance because of the above mentioned
unless you can get it for really cheap I wouldn't bother, you will have less warranty time and an overall shittier GPU that barely even makes it more worth it in terms of what you get per $
>>53508450
If your current power supply is 280W, then you need to buy a whole new system.
>>53512130
so 760 or 960?
>>53512353
oh i don't plan to OC.
>>53508450
>960 anything above 450W is fine.
>>53512353
>>53512373
960 either way
>>53512399
k thanks for the info.
>>53508450
Why don't you use google and stop being spoonfed?
>buying any nvidia offering that isn't the 980 Ti in the current market
>>53512453
cause some of us don't want to spend that much money on a video card when we only need 4 gigs. seriously 6 gigs is just overkill.
>>53512453
>buying anything
>>53512444
google gives a runaround when it comes to asking bout video cards.
>>53512500
6 gigs is overkill now, but a year or so down the road it will be required.
>>53512809
ok so? I don't do future proofing. In a year the 6 gig will be around the same price as a 4 gig. So why would I waste money?
>>53511960
4gb 960 is pointless and a waste of money
>>53512867
>implying i play anything higher then 1920
>>53512898
not to mention i don't do 1200, i do 1080 so try again.
>>53512898
But you still see that it makes no difference right?
>>53512500
Nah dumbass, I meant AMD > Nvidia objectively as of now, unless you're talking about the 980 Ti.
r7 370 > GTX 950
r9 380 > GTX 960
r9 390 > GTX 970
r9 390x > GTX 980
but
980 Ti > Any Fury (for now)
>>53512846
I think his point is the only good thing that Nvidia currently offers is the 980 Ti. AMD has better performing cards in the , mid range,higher etc.
However, the 950 is the best entry level card that is currently available imo senpai
>>53511887
Good goy
>>53512928
Thats only for battlefield 4 anyways, how bout you show something from something like The Division or Assassins creed syndicate
>>53512940
AMD cards only are better if you have direct x 12. I am on windows 7
>>53512954
I already have an entry level card. a 660 that is garbage.
>>53512940
Also really does the 380 have a 4 gig version?
>>53512993
>only better in Dx11
Right
>>53513040
that list doesn't even have gtd 960 4 gig lol
>>53513063
Because the 4gb wont do a single difference on the average fps on these 1080p benchmarks.
>>53513069
or its outdated.
>>53513084
Or you are smoking some good fucking shit
>>53513084
Besides the 380 has a 4gb model as well and is not stuck with a shitty 128 bit memory bus
>>53513036
Yes. r9 380 4GB > gtx 960 4GB.
>>53513095
>>53513116
>>53513123
>970 MHz
>1304 MHz
Ill give you guys a hint the radeon is not the bigger number
>>53513069
Average framerate is only one metric, 4gb makes a difference on high textures on titles like RotTR, framerate dips on certain points with 2 gb.
https://youtu.be/iA-vOSAsOhs?t=227
>>53513148
If frequency mattered when comparing different architectures, the 960 would not get stomped so badly,
This is like saiying a core 2 quad at 2ghz is the same as an i5 6600 at 2ghz
>>53513148
Are you trolling or just stupid?
>>53513163
I am not arguing against that however, in a benchmark, the average fps is the data being outlined. Therefore an addition that has no significant effect on the observed metric would not make much sense to add in these charts. And that information is irrelevant as both cards have 4gb models.
>>53513148
>clueless
>ignorant
>tech illiterate
Yep, typical /g/ poster
>>53511887
any i5 is enough, and it's a mid range CPU
>>53508450
I love my 960 but the thing is gigantic and almost didn't fit in my case. Now i no longer have easy access to my SATA ports because this thing is hiding them.
>>53513230
How small of a case do you have? 960s aren't big
>>53508450
960 is a waste. Try saving up for a GPU in the $250 range otherwise it'll be too slow to run within a year.
>>53513193
Actually, most of us know what the hell we are talking about.
To OP: Any dedicated video card will outperform the Intel Integrated Graphics.
As a reference, the Sapphire R9 290 w/ 4 gigabytes of ram will run Battlefield 4 at about 70fps on max graphics with 4x AA.
>>53513170
>>53513193
i just think anything by AMD is shit atm specially til they release there new cpus, not to mention like i said I am on windows 7 and not windows 10 which I am sure will make a huge difference.
OP, seriously give amd a look. Even if you go for a 900 series card it is worth giving the other company a chance since you are getting a new power supply any ways
>>53513290
Is that why their gpus have been shitting all over Nvidia's offerings?
The only gpu Nivida has that beats an AMD offering is the 980ti. For everything below that, AMD has a clear performance advantage, especially in newer titles
>>53513323
yea im seeing that now i found a recent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2qkBjjils
>>53511960
>>>53508754 (You)
>im guessing you only have the 2 gig version, OP is talking bout the 4 gig version.
Nah
>>53513398
nice try there buddy
>>53512964
>>53513409
Ok sure, technically I only proved I own a gtx 960 BOX. Idk why I would have a box for it and not the actual card though.
>>53513502
no you tried to prove you were the other anon claiming the 960 is a low tier card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2qkBjjils proves otherwise.
>>53513522
but yes i admit now that the 380 is a bit better, but not much since i mainly play games that are optimized for nvidia.
>>53513337
>all GameWorks titles
>380X still holds it's own or even edges out the 960
>performance difference is even bigger in non-GameWorks titles, in favor of the 380X of course
You'd have to be a retard to buy the 960 after watching that. Of course, since OP is a retard, he'll still buy a 960.
>>53513570
>>53513561
enough said.
>>53513570
Also, extra: That 960 has a 100MHz overclock, against a stock clocked 380X.
Comparing overclocked cards to non-OC'd ones, nice one buddy
>>53513522
If I had erased the (you) would you be less ass blasted? All I was getting at was that I have a 960 and I'm not that satisfied with it. It does the job but I probably under-spent.
>>53513640
depends on the games you're playing once again. Someone like me I'm not gonna be playing anything like battlefield 4.
>>53513666
As stated above - One of the games I play with it is Witcher 3. It gets the job done, I can get about 50fps relatively stable on med-high settings mix, and its OKAY. It looks a shitload better than ps4.
>>53513776
and thats not even a game im gonna be playing so ill be fine. I plan to play the division with it which most likely will run just fine.
>>53512353
960, buy used, no sense in paying the premium.
>>53513570
unless you're betting it all on dx12 or have a $300+ CPU, getting amd is a waste of money. the driver overhead chokes performance.
if you dont mind going used, a gtx 770 or 780 is about the same price as a 960 and would be faster
>>53514893
doesn't seem to be the case these days. the 960 tends to be ahead of the 770 and costs about the same used.
shuld i go for 960 instead of 950? how future proof is it?
>>53516274
>Nvidia
>Future proof
Pick one
Get a Polaris 11 instead.
Get a 380 or a 380x. They are faster in 95% of games. Get any 600w PSU from either Corsair or EVGA, as those seem to be the most reliable and have super long warranty.
>>53512940
How is the 370 better than the 950? I'm planning to buy the budget cards cause I don't game that much anymore.
