gtx 670 vs gtx 960

[surya13]

i just want to know which is better

gtx 670 or 960. also the 670 is 15% cheaper than the 960
the 960 has a 128bit bandwidth and will it be a bottleneck in 1080p?
and in overall which is the better one?

 

[quandao93]

Pure performance wise 670. New gen features, lower power consumption wise 960.

670 is a underclocked 760

GTX960 it is IMO however if it is from US than go ahead and grap a R9 280X or a 7970 it is at least 13~ fps better u can find the vapor X for around 220 usd

and the XFX Double D he he (DD) for 199USD ( i would go for the vapor-X tri-X) if u want absolute quietness

also the R9 290 is around 255ISH usd give or take 5USD

If I heard correctly, only the 900 series will support DirectX 12. That's definitely something to consider. I tend to side with the latest technology.

The 670 AMP! uses 680 components, so it's a bit of a hybrid between a 670 with 680 capability, that's why it overclocks so high, and that's also why it's a little faster than a reference 680 in the benchmarks.

However; depending on the price, you can probably find a 960 that will perform just as well. I'd scratch the 760 off that list, no reason to consider it.

It would also be worth stretching your dollar and getting the 970 above them all. It's a significant boost above all three Nvidia cards.

GTX 960 is way better. Although is optimized for 1080p gaming only, its performance is nearly 15% better than 670. Plus its less power hungry and much cooler.

What do you mean what? You are comparing a 670 to a Maxwell card! The 960 was built for 1080p Gaming. Why would you get a 670, especially when its 3 generations behind? Infact why bother with a 960? When you can get a 970 for even better performance?

You should do the same.

"The 960 was built for 1080p Gaming." You do know that 1080p has been out for a long time now right? I advised him to go for either the two. 960 is the worst of the 9 series. 670 is not outdated. 670amp actually does better than 680 in benchmarks. 680~770. and where did you pull 65 percent better than a 670 from again? OOOOH thats right you had to edit everything you said... LOL. Don't give advices if you're going to B.S. without facts.

Sometimes, its best to admit that you are wrong buddy. Don't cover it up by editing your post. I was not trying to be an asshole. I was trying to clean your mess up, so the OP wont get the wrong idea...

so from what u wrote above you're saying that u cant OC the GTX960? to beat the 760/970

imo i would go with the GTX960 simply coz Direct X 12 and 12.1 are support instead of just DX12

is a newer cards/super efficient and the one made by EVGA has 133% power limit ( im pretty sure u can hit 1400MHZ with that)

However there is a better option which is the R9 280X OR the 7970 the can be found for around 210USD give or take 10usd


Overall the GTX960 will perfrom a bit better than the 670 not by much however it has support for DX12.1 it runs super quite

consumes less energy and the card shuts down the fans when bellow 60C

 

[quandao93]

I never said to just go with the 670. The OP asked for two option. I gave him information. Thats it. 😛

 

[holyrage]

well the GTX960 will beat the 670 Overtime sure it wont play games on ultra coz it is mid-range now

how ever it will be better if he plans on playing DX12 games (there are also DX12.1 futures that ony the 960 has access to )

i dont know about GCN cards but they should support DX12 at least not sure about 12.1

 

[quandao93]

6 7 and 9 series have access dx12

 

[holyrage]

not 12.1 tho read up on it im not even sure GCN cards will support DX12.1 gives me all the more reason to ditch my
