Go for the Asus GTX 960 Strix, or if you can find the Gigabyte G1 version, they're both very good. I would stick with the GTX 960 as it fully supports DirectX 12 and you'll get to use the Nvidia exclusive features like PhysX, MFAA, and Adaptive VSync, all while using very little power.

In terms of general performance and raw power the 285 is better while the 960 has better performance on nvidia gameworks optimized games and a lower power consumption. Just keep in mind raw power of the 285 will still help after a new generation comes out while nvidia optimization might stop after pushing new cards on the market.

I Own my asus strix 960 and it clearly defeats r9 285 because nvidia keep providing new drivers and updates and thats why i love it because i am mid range gamer and if you are on budget 960 is best!! Please dont refer to rumours that 960 is this much bad/good. Just see the price and performance of it!!

Lol the gtx960 vs r270x is bullcrap watch in game graphics 128bit vs 256bit no way it beats the r270x maybe in some rendering but not graphics.and plus and fill rage is huge compared to the lousy performance of nvidia its only that nvidia is using direct x12. And using 11.2 update the direct x then rate the differences.

These bullshit tests done with different hardware and different direct x draw does not prove anything. Game graphical detail with 3 d programs not 3 d mark . as 3d mark is a testing program on speed not GPU detail u need to use 3d programs.
