| laopa said: 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.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
