GTX 970 G1 or GTX 960 G1 Gaming?

HaiderPervaiz · Mar 23, 2015

I am confused about getting GTX 960 or 970.The GTX 970 is costly then 960 and have better performance then 960 and will run my games on 1440x900 for 2 years at least on High settings.GTX 970 can run games on Ultra settings with no AA on 900p for 60+ FPS which GTX 960 mostly can,t.So would buying GTX 960 just for low cost is foolish or not?Because it will not be able to play Next Gen games on at least High settings in coming 2 years where GTX 970 can.Am i right?What should i do?Spend more money now to be tension less for 2 Years(Guide me if i am wrong)or buy GTX 960 which cannot run games of after 2 years on High settings?Help me guys.Also recommened a PSU for both cards.It does not have to be very costly.I think 500W or 600W 80+ PSU should be enough for GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 Gaming.Guide me guys to the right path.My specs are
CPU:Core i5 4440
RAM:8 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz
MOBO:Asrock H81 Pro BTC
GPU:Radeon HD 6570(not working right now because of unknown probloms)
HDD:250 GB SATA
PSU 350W DELL (L350P-00)

Definitely get the gtx 970 for a start you will get alot higher frames and you will benefit from the 4gb of ram especially if you're going to play higher resolutions 500w is sufficient aswell

Also have a look at the msi gtx 970 gaming it has superior cooling and is great for overclocking.

Fixed.

But yeah, the 970 remains a value champion when dealing with high end games. The 960 is respectable, but with low VRAM will hamstring it in the long run compared to the processor power it has.

Thanks for the reply but don,t you think Gigabyte G1 Gaming is better then MSI.Noise is not a problom for me but Temp is.Also is 550W enough for both G1 and MSI or not?

^ a decent 500w is enough gorcany gtx 970.
The g1 is a long card - be sure it will fit in your case.

The 970 chipset is so efficient that I honestly don't think there are many bad cards as such - they all run relatively cool.

My case is fine for G1 Gaming.Also i got what you said about PSU.Now tell me which will give me best performance G1 Gaming or MSI?

ellis2014 · Mar 24, 2015

The msi card will give you the best overall performance.

ellis2014 · Mar 24, 2015

The msi card can get over 100fps at ultra 1080p on bf3/4 it can get at least 250fps on cs:go and is even capable of 4k but if your going 4k get two of these cards.

The g1 is the most overclockable card by miles - I had the msi gaming 970 originally but returned it due to fan clicking - replaced with a galax exoc - I only have these 2 cards to compare but can honestly say I was unimpressed with the build quality on the MSI compared to the Galax card I own now.

HaiderPervaiz · Mar 24, 2015

I also like Gigabyte GTX 970 more then MSI.What do you mean by fan clicking?

madmatt30 · Mar 24, 2015

My card had a faulty fan - was imbalanced - wasn't loud but for £280 I was never going to put up with it.
Rma'd but they didn't have the MSI model in stock so took the Galax at a discount - was worried in case it would be subpar but it turned out to he a better card than the MSI IMO.
