Sorry for another topic on this forum (I know I'm annoying) but I just need to know which graphics card is better between the Radeon R9 280x 3GB and the Nvidia GTX 960 4GB?

I know the Radeon is better than the 960 2GB but I can't find a comparison for the 4GB. The Nvidia one is more pricey being 199 pounds while the Radeon is 149 pounds on Ebay though on Future Mark the Radeon has a better score Is the 960 more pricey just because its Nvidia or is it better?

Thanks for the help guys.

Typically AMD GPU's run a less expensive while still packing a punch. For a $50 price difference you can do some other things with the PC to improve other aspects. The Nvidia one does have higher performance in 60% of things while AMD is less expensive while still beating the GTX 960 at things


Do you have a PCPartpicker list so I can see the rest of the PC or is this just to know and your not building a PC.

Don't even consider the 4GB variant because it's not going to make the 960 faster and you shouldn't be SLIing that card, anyway. They should cost about the same:

The 280 performs about the same, but the 280X is significantly faster and also similar in price. This is what you probably want:

£200 is 290 money.

Most places are out of stock with the 300 series being released shortly.
