first of all , i am planing to replace my older GTX 750 Ti 2gb to a better card and i took a LONG time researching the perfect fit and i found out about the 4gb GTX 960 , it seemed the perfect one until i read about it that the 4gb is useless and can't be used? I didn't get it , because i saw videos of the GTX 960 performing on GTA V with used 2.8gb VRAM while performing almost the same as a 280x but a few frames less.
For the price , the 960 4gb costs $314 due to tax , and the r9 280x costs $298 so the difference is not huge, i also have enough budget to get the 970 from amazon but since i'm not in the US , some sellers do not ship to my location not even amazon. I only found an offer for $440 which is no deal , there was an offer for a used one that i can afford but does not ship.. So if anybody knows a non shady website that i can buy the 970 in case it's the better option i would be grateful.
But for 280x that i don't like about is the power consumption and high heat that some people complain about , and it's summer here and it gets as hot as hell in here , don't want to reach too much high temps.. And i like the graphics card to be quiet. And i'm liking this 750 ti being quiet and efficient at the same time.
So i need help from you guys to help decide whether i choose the gtx 960 4gb or the r9 280x ( which model should i get if so ) , or help me find a store which ships internationally so i can buy the 970 which i think is the best option.
Thank you!
