Keep GTX 960 or RX 460?

[skaughtzer]

I have an EVGA SSC 2gb GTX 960 and a Sapphire OC 2gb RX 460. I am going to sell one of them. The 960 performs better in games but the 460 was released more recently. Which should I keep? Is power or optimization more important for upcoming titles?

I would keep the GTX 960.

GTX960 is a tad stronger, but not so much so that you would detect the difference.
Both are relatively low power.
It comes down to your preference of Nvidia/AMD drivers.
Or, perhaps which one commands the best resale price.

If you play one game exclusively, look for benchmarks of that game.

Thanks fellas.

The 960 performs a bit better in games (10% to 14% I think) but the 460 was released more recently (a year and a half). I am not sure what the history of the 960 is but I dont think it was abused. Meanwhile, the 460 is only 8 months old and was only used for office appraisal software. Both are DX12 cards.

I am interested in games like GTA V and COD:WW2 at 1080p. I just read that Devil May Cry 5 is happening in the next year so I want to be able to play some newer titles like that. Running with an i5-3570k.

Keep the GTX 960. The RX 460 has appreciated in value while the GTX 960 has depreciated. So if the GTX 960 performs better then sell the RX 460 and get more money and more performance.
