MSI R9 380 GAMING 2G or EVGA GeForce GTX 960

Haider92 · Jun 29, 2015

Hi

i want to buy new GPU, which one of them is better support DX12 (Hardware and software)
and have low temperature

1 - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+ 2GB (Price on Amazon $207.85)

2 - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0+ (Price on Amazon $262.95)

3 - MSI R9 380 GAMING 4G (Price on Amazon $239.99)

4 - MSI R9 380 GAMING 2G (Price on Amazon $209.99)

some website review show that MSI R9 380 2GB is more faster than GTX 960 gigabyte edition about 4 to 5 fps

i read about GTX 960 will not support DX12 full

"NVIDIA will support the DX12 API on all the DX11-class GPUs it has shipped; these belong to the Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell architectural families"

Straight from an Nvidia press release."

Note that this means they'll support the low level hardware api on those chips, this does not mean they'll support all of DX12's features.

also some website show that MSI GTX 960 is faster than MSI R9 380

can someone tell me is there difference between 2gb edition or 4gb edition in performance
can i reach the full performance with my CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and 6Gb 2x3 RAM DDR2 800 MHZ

my motherboard ASUS IPIBL-LA (Berkeley)

does this board support GTX 960 or R9 380

and which one of them is the best choice.

380 would be a better choice its newer and if you look at benchmarks its better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTpNZEW31G0

the r9 280 beat the 960 and the 380 is better by 5-10%.

Haider92 · Jun 29, 2015

thank you .... what about temperature which one is low
and does my MOBO support it

Coolboy951 · Jun 29, 2015

Haider92 :

i didnt not read the specs, heres the problem basically the ddr2 ram will bottleneck alot of cards and so will the cpu

Haider92 · Jun 29, 2015

so will MSI R9 380 GAMING 2G be better than EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+ 2GB

Coolboy951 · Jun 29, 2015

Haider92 :

in general yes it will

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

I think I'll pick this one MSI R9 380 GAMING 4G
is that really Nvidia support its Graphics card better than AMD in Drivers and Update in the Future
which one will get longer support
and do you suggest another manufacturer for R9 380 rather that MSI

R9 280x cheaper and more performance.

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

the problem is my hardware is not enough to give me the full performance of Card

also I'm looking for the lowest temperature level and the better build quality and longer life

also can someone tell me these card work on my MOBO or NOT

Haider92 :

It has a PCI Express x16 slot, so whatever you want.

Just make sure to update the bios to the newest available from the manufacturer's website.

Your processor and power supply should be your biggest concern.

The gtx 960 2gb is the most I would put into your computer, anything more would be too severely held back by your cpu.

Make and model of your power supply?

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

power supply 600 watt

most of review show this edition of GTX 960 is the best in GPU cooler

what about this edition is it more stable and cooler im not looking for OC

Haider92 :

Make and model. Not all "600w" are actually 600w

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

yes its actually 600 watt

maxalge · Jun 30, 2015

Haider92 :

how would you know? if you don't know the make and model?

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

my previous card was ATI Radeon HD 4870 and it work well with my power supply
the problem is i dont have the power supply manual or box
i buy it from 2010

Haider92 :

open your pc case and look, it should have a sticker with the information

Haider92 · Jun 30, 2015

i open the case and take a look there is no sticker because its in the upper side in Case and the sticker in might be in the Top
in my situation i think i need to open it, i don't want to do that

I make an order for this one MSI R9 380 GAMING 4G (Price on Amazon $239.99)
