GTX 960 vs Radeon r9-280x

[Borbp]

I am playing CSGO pretty much only. Which is better? I would also like to record gameplay with fraps so higher fps = better.

CPU: AMD Athlon x4 760k

GTX 960 is more than you need man. No need for R9 280X. Even GTX 950 will still perform more than better in CS:GO.

So you are saying r9 is better couse I can get it for 20€ cheaper? Also note, I want to record and that takes a lot of fps...

Yes, it's slightly more powerful. So if it's cheaper then there really is no reason not to go with the Radeon. Further on down the road you might want to consider upgrading your processor as well.

R9 280X beats the GTX 960 easily actually. But not necessary for CSGO.
