It is time for me to upgrade my GPU. I have Geforce 650ti and was planning to upgrade to 960ti but there is no news about it since january? Carmageddon comes out tomorrow and I want to play it on Max. Also GTAV would be nice on Max rather than Medium to High with AA.

Should I wait for 960ti or go with 960? or R9 280? My budget is ~200 euro. I'm looking at these:

R9 280 does have a lower clockspeed, but it also has an extra gig of vram, and is overall quit a bit more powerful (2.3 Gflops for the GTX 960, vs just under 3 GFlops for the 980). As for a GTX 960ti, I don't think you should wait. It hasn't been confirmed, and may take quit a bit before it comes out. Anyway I think you should go for the R9 280.

Thanks for the input. If I buy 960 now I bet 960ti is confirmed tomorrow LOL that's how it happened with my 650ti - two weeks after I bought it their price was cut by up to 30 euro and 650ti Boost was released.

Definitely the GTX 960 is better than the R9 280, so don't fall for that trap.

A better match would be versus the R9 285. If you can find a cheap 285...

As for the Ti cards, maybe Nvidia won't even release them.

As super6646 has said, the GTX 960Ti has not been announced, and rumors about it stopped a while ago.

Next month Nvidia will reveal a new card, the rumored 980Ti, and AMD will launch the 3x0 series. With that I'm trying to say that if you can hold your puchase until the end of June, you could end being able to buy a better card for your money.

But in case that you can't wait, go either for the 960 or the 285.

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 good question, i was tempted to buy a 960 but the small memory size and 128 bit memory bus bothered me. And the 970 is expensive, so a 960 ti would fill the gap nicely.

dont buy a 960 with 2gb of vram. those 960 suck the 4gb has problems, but works alot better.
the 280 or 285 or 280x on the other hand has some things going on for tem that make em stronger in the long run, they have more bus and are alot cheaper(amds game deals are much better)

Found this the other day, I'm all for a 980 but if this is coming out sooner this year I can wait for this instead.

Never use floating ops per second as a peformance measure. Use benchmarks.The R9 295X2 has 11 Teraflops, while the Titan Z has 8 TF. However, the Titan Z actually wins almost all benchmarks against the 295X2.
