Hello,

I wanted to ask what is best, a GTX 960 or a r9 380?

My CPU is an i5-2500k OC`d @ 4.2 Ghz and i have a 550w RECOM PSU(5y old now)

If one were to overcloak them, would the 1st place change? Also what brand, cheapest here are:

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 380 OC WINDFORCE 2X and Sapphire Radeon R9 380 NITRO for r9

and for GTX: GainWard GeForce GTX 960 Phantom, MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5T OC, GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 OC, SUS GeForce GTX 960 Turbo OC, GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 OC WindForce 2X


All the models are 2GB and i only plan to play on 1080p - i have an ASUS 27'' IPS screen.

The R9 280 has a slight performance edge in most cases, but I prefer Nvidia's driver/graphics settings program called Nvidia Experience. It makes everything simpler, but if you want raw performance, the 380 has the edge.
