about 3 days ago i posted a thread about pc gaming vs ps4 gaming.
i have decided to go the pc route, I was looking at my part list and thought maybe
i can shave of some cash and keep my budget lower. so I went and searched.....
here in the netherlands the "G1 960" is about 230euro and the 280 is 200euro.
if i look to the specs of the cards its obviously that the 280 wins,
but in gaming-benchmarking it is the 960 who wins. Is it worth the extra 30euro's,
or should i buy an 212 evo for my 4460 for 30euros. I just want to
know which one is better.

Hahaha, "tweakers", great website though. Great choice too, I should have spent a little more for the 280x, and the cooling on that Sapphire gives you flexibility with the overclocking. I picked up the Dual X 280, and what it lets you do with the clocks is just crazy. I think you'll enjoy the PC route a bit more now.
