mSI GTX 960 Gaming 1 Vs Sapphire r9 280x Tri x

[pipandres]

Hi guys. I've been looking for a GPU and I found these 2. At the bottom you can find the links of each GPU. My question relays on which graphic card is better and reliable. I gotta say that I have in mind a evga PSU of 750w 80+B.

Thanks in advantage.

It's hard to say which is better. The 960 is much newer and uses less power/generates less heat. The 280x is the same thing as the HD 7970. That was/is a great chip, but it's old. Low power chips are usually more reliable, but either one should work fine for you for years. The 280x probably has better performance in most games. If you care about heat, noise, and up-to date drivers, the 960 is probably better. If you want the best raw performance for the money, the 280x may be better.
