the 280x outplay in the 200 euros ( so with the 960 of 2 gb version) the 960 in basically everygame. you forgot to mention that the 280x has twice as much shading units and texture mapping units. but that TRIPLE quantity of bus respect the 960 basically kill it .

it doesnt' take much to make a easy research on frame rates of this 2 gpu's. some example:

i could post infinite number of them, but i guess a video can even prove it better:

the 4gb version , at that price , face against the r9 290 (that cost few euros more) and get drastically obliterated.


yes, as i said i prefer nvidia over amd, especially for drivers, but at lower prices ranges in gpu's , at least for me, i prefer amd. after the 300 euros spot, i 'll take nvidia anyday.


Plus also in a previous thread, even mystik said it:

Why dont you buy the GTX 960? newer and better chips. Besides on the 16th (on the E3 Expo) of June there will be a new release of AMD's new Radeon 300 series. And Ill bet the prices of the GTX 960 will go down aswell. ATM the are about €217,-

Well at the GTX 960's pricerange, it competes with the R9 280X, which reks it in pretty much every game, at the cost of higher temps and higher power consumption. And with the 3xx series coming, both 280X and 960 prices could drop.
