I'm planning on buying a new GPU for my brothers PC this Christmas but I'm stuck between 2 cards... The GTX 670 or the GTX 960.
Currently, I can buy the Asus GTX 670 with the DirectCU II cooler for £110 preowned but looks brand new and never used. (Plymouth - CEX) But I'm also thinking about a EVGA GTX 960 SSC ACX 2.0 which will cost £175 (amazon.co.uk)
After 2 weeks of researching, I have come to the conclusion that they're near identical, in performance. The 670 had more CUDA and texture mapping cores with a higher bandwidth and texture rate, but the 960 has a higher pixel rate and the newer architecture.
His current system:
CPU: AMD FX-4100 @ 4.5GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (Rev 4.1)
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6670 2GB DDR3
PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750watt (I bought him for his birthday)
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
He is wanting to play titles such as Watch Dogs, GTA V, CoD BO3 and Far Cry 4, but he is isn't too fussed with the settings, as long as it can play at 60+FPS at medium.
Many thanks
