R9 380 4GB or GTX 960 4GB

[dan4u]

I'm confused between the two, but slightly inclined towards the 380. This is for a 1080p monitor.

The prices I found are

MSI R9 380 - Rs 20,900
MSI GTX 960 - Rs 19,400

I say save a bit more and get GTX970. It is 50% faster i think if not more than both

You can go with Zotac GTX960 4GB -17,850 which is cheaper than MSI and has 2+3 years of warranty.

Yes but where did you find it? Any links?

 

[dan4u]

Its on Snapdeal, its Rs 20,999 after the hdfc cashback. But I'm confused between this and the R9 380 which is a newer card and has newer features.

280x is faster.
But imo if you are spending 21k why not just add 5k more and go for GTX970? Its much more faster than the card you have chosen.

hmm not a bad idea but I think the 970 is an overkill for 1080p@60hz, also the cheapest one is the zotac 970

You can buy a second hand GTX970 @ erodov or TE for 20k

new or used?

 

[anirbandd]

good decision OP..

it may be a bit overkill for now. but over the next few years, you can be sure you can run most games without much sweat.

New, 25k for used is a bit too high
