Gtx 960 vs r9 285

[fero gomma]

Hi,I want to play games with my new CPU fx 6300 but I want to buy a GPU like r9 285 or gtx 960 which could let me play games like farcry 4 and assassins creed unity especially assassins creed unity so which of those GPUs would support those games with fx 6300 and 8gb of ram.

have you already got all the parts or some or none? What's your budget

I had bought the fx 6300 and 8gb of ram but I hadn't bought the GPU yet.

I'd advise the GTX 960

They may be considered equal, with a slightly slight edge given to the R9 285.

Will the gtx 960 run games well with the fx 6300??????????

 

[Calculatron]

The GTX 960 and R9 280-variants are the upper limit of what the FX-6300 may handle before it begins to bottleneck - so yes, it will run well. On some games that are single-thread dependent, you might notice some frame dips during intense scenes, but these shouldn't be bad.

And DirectX12 should fix that.

Thank you very much,but there is one more question will this specs run assassins creed unity well on high settings????

 

[daveios92]

well I would stick with the gtx 960. AC unity would run ok but not highest settings...

They're basically the same save for power consumption (GTX 960 quite a bit better).
