middlemarkal :

it says the r9 285 has Better floating-point performance 3,290 GFLOPS vs 2,308 GFLOPS Around 45% better floating-point performance
More shading units 1,792 vs 1,024 768 more shading units
More texture mapping units 112 vs 64 48 more texture mapping units
is that going to make the game look better

I would pass on both, the GTX 950 2gb that was just released performs excellent and is cheaper.

EVGA just release a few different versions.

Tough choice. Basically depending on the game either one will win by a slight advantage. Ther other option is r9 380 which is basically 285 with a little oomph. 960 will draw less power then amd cards so if u limited on psu wattage i'd go with nvidia

madchemist83 :

i am not limited by the psu as i have a 500 w evga 80+ with 2 6+2 connectors

i would take gpuboss comparison with a pinch of salt. Look for "real" reviews. 950 not a bad choice either

look at these benchmarks and tell me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyYvoQPYPbs

In any case R9 380 4Gb version seems like a best option if u can afford it, cause even 2 gigs of vram is becoming lowest amount.

madchemist83 :

its not in my budget

madchemist83 · Aug 22, 2015

haha i actually just did. cut scenes are not real game benchmark
u get couple fps here and there .. I can run Witcher 3 on my GTX 560 Ti in high/ultra @ 1080p and get around 35 fps ... whoopty doo

madchemist83 · Aug 22, 2015

then go with 960 as Metal gear solid seems like a better free game then Grid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en4kE-kjlUg check this out is the r9 285 better here

According to multiple benchmarks 285 will be a bit faster in most games, some will favor 960. I don't think u'll notice the difference. Note that 285 is longer and consumes more power (less efficient)
