Actually it is bad to use the CPUBoss and the GPUBoss websites. They are pretty bad and have pretty wierd comparisons. It is better to use Futuremark's webpage if you want to compare performance since you just need a quick google search to see the specs. You can check most of GPUs here: http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu?_ga=1.88951003.1324000984.1432221226

Also you can see that the 960 is below the 285 and 280x. I would only buy a 960 if I were to make a compact build since that card is small, quiet, cool and does not need a lot of energy. Buying it with a beefy cooling solution is overkill.

That is a load of bull. Looking at futuremark(3DMark) is the worst thing you can do. Benchmarks are not games and AMD has proven more than enough that their raw specs can't hold up in a lot of games despite being more powerful on paper.

In this case OP has a clear goal of which game he likes to play so the only thing he should look at are game benchmarks. And in his scenario(GTAV without AA) the 960 edges out the 280 and even the 285 slightly.


In my experience in PC building this benchmark is a pretty good STARTING point to see GPU performance and also the only one that can give a somewhat accurate representation. I aggree about your view about benchmarks but Firestrike is the most realistic one and it is not stupid as the Passmark or Ungine Valley (which only useful purpose is to check the thermal capabilities of a card). Still there are lots of videos on youtube that compare this two cards. I am sharing one that I think the OP will find useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lklKB5vA0KE

I still think the 960 is not a good card because of the 2GB RAM it posesses and also the little bus it has. I would save more for the 280x (which cost is not really that far). If he had the money he should go to a 290x or 970, or maybe he just should wait for the AMD cards xD.

That would be a very dumb decision, and Nvidia is not dumb. They are d*cks, but not dumbs.

Out of the two possibilities, I'd pick the smaller one. The one with 1536 is too close to GTX 970 territory.

Yeah, even the 1280 variant tops AMD's 280x according to the benchmarks, so I'm guessing the 960 will be dropped down to maybe $180 when RX 300 releases next month, and the 960 ti will be introduced at maybe $220-230.

Yeah, that would be a good pricing, but only if Nvidia is forced to drop the price. After all, we don't know how agressive will AMD be.

Looks like my AW18 might needs the upgrade to GTX 980M SLI....That's one good site link to order from...http://www.eurocom.com/ec/upgrademodels(8)ec

 My beef is with the insane pricing for SLI on laptop.

From what I've heard AMD has the 3 new HBM cards coming at the high end of the spectrum, and below that most of the cards will be 200 series rebrands with a price drop for each, except for the 380x, which might be a fully unlocked Tonga with a 384 bit memory interface (compared to 256 for the 285/380) and 2048 GCN cores (compared to 1792 for the 285/380).

Yep, I've also heard those rumors (by the way, DICE has posted a pic of one of the cards on twitter, I've put it in the thread we have about it: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=202451).

My problem is the rumor about the prices of those cards. If they are true (and I have doubts about it) and the 390X haa a $849 price tag, Nvidia will have little incentive to lower their prices. But if it is $599-649, now that's another thing...

Waiting here too. I wont jump on the 960 because of the 2gb 128bit memory. I'm hoping the 960Ti offers at least 3gb memory. That, or AMD offers something better.
I'm getting a WQHD monitor soon though it's not for gaming, but for the occasional game session I'd like to be able to decently push those pixels.

I find $849 hard to believe, AMD is usually pretty agressive with their pricing. The first rumor I heard for the 390x said it would be about $600.

But that's the thing with rumors .

Those same rumors said that the 390X would have 4GB, then that changed to 8GB and now it has come back to 4GB. And the same has been true about its launch date, I've forgotten how many times AMD was supposed to reveal the card... according to rumors, ofc.

At the end of the day, we can't speculate of what will happen, neither with the AMD's 3xx series nor with Nvidia's pricing.

So I got Zotac Geforce 960 AMP, it's perfect for my miniITX system. Max Payne 3 on Max with high FPS is sweeet.
