Zotac 950 amp or MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5T OC 2GB which one is worth investing in.

naved1984 · Jun 2, 2016

I'd compare both and i found that Zotac is better than MSI but yet i wanted to ask this wonderful community to guide me. All i wanted to ask is whether Zotac 950 amp is better than MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5T OC 2GB or shall i go for MSI rather than Zotac 950 amp. Which is worth investing in for future use. I'm more of a gamer.

I have only two option as I'm getting this two product at cheap price..

they are both essentially the same, so buy on other factors like warranty.

Sorry I thought we were looking at two 950's

The GTX960 supports a better clock speed but only on a barely noticeable 0.1Ghz. I, personally, would buy the MSI GTX960 since they are a more reputable brand but it all comes down to your budget. If you have a budget of £300 on a graphics card then go ahead and future proof yourself by buying a 4GB edition of the 960.

if you have a £300 budget get a 970 or try for a 1070

Zotac clock speed is better than MSI Zotac 950 amp clockspeed/basespeed 1203 MHz/1405 MHz whereas MSI 960 clockspeed/basespeed 1176 MHz/1241 MHz... Warranty Zotac 2yrs extended 3yrs (Not sure yet whether graphic come in Extended warr whereas MSI 3 yrs..

clockspeed matters less than cores, what's the core count for each card.

Themastererr · Jun 2, 2016

A GTX 960 obviously. It's only a marginally better, but it's still better. Like a CPU, frequency is not in direct correlation with performance on a GPU.

The 960 has more processing power in regards to cores and shaders and you will be able to turn filtering settings higher without FPS drop.

I'm sorry its core speed not clock speed..
Zotac 950 amp: Core Speed / Boost Clock 1203 MHz/1405 MHz
MSI 960 3 gb (not gaming): Core Speed / Boost Clock 1176 MHz/1241 MHz

I'm using
Motherboard: MSI H110m gaming
Processor: i5 6400.
I have given both Zotac 950 and MSI 960 details. I would request you to give ur output after looking at the comparison sheet.. Zotac has better spec.. Also MSI is little on the higher side in term of Cash. If ur getting better spec in less amount which one will you go 4 and why... Kindly enlighten me with honest answer...

Sir I really don't know. Will you please help me in making best decision.. As i would be placing and order tomorrow. I want to make a best decision that i will not regret later..

13thmonkey · Jun 2, 2016

right the 960 has 1024 cores, the 950 has 768, so it would have to have a 33% clock speed boost to beat the 960. Therefore the 960 is fastest. Is it the best decision for you? that depends on whether you can afford the price difference.

Thanks for ur valuable feedback. After u asking for cores i went little more deep and understood that you are asking for CUDA Cores but I was waiting for your suggestion. Although its few bucks extra but its worth investing for future run.. Since i take lot care, product remain with me for longer time thats y I wanted the best investment but should be in my budget.

Thanks for your precious time and helping me out of making better decision.
