Need help fast!

I have the AMD FX-8320e 8-core processor with Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard. I was wondering would it be able to handle either the Nvidia Geforce Gtx 960 4gb or the Nvidia Geforce Gtx 970 4gb graphics cards. And was wondering if the 970 was worth the extra money?

get a gtx 1050 ti, it is better than a 960


the 970 is obsolete, so dont buy one unless its for suuuuuuper cheap

a gtx 1060 or rx 480 would be a better choice



Your current cpu would be fine with a decent overclock, not perfect but workable

your motherboard is pretty garbage however, no overclocking

so a stock 8320 is too weak too keep up with either a 1060 or 480

What is super cheap to you for the 970?

What is super cheap to you for the 970?

less than $150




you can get a rx 480 or gtx 1060 for about ~180 - ~190

And it will work with what I have posted?

if you have a proper power supply and your case can fit it

if you're playing @1080p 60hz then 970 is good you'll end up turning v sync on anyway if you have a very powerful card

Well I was looking and I found the Geforce GTX 960 4gb for $150.00 or the Geforce GTX 970 for $230.00

go with 970 i have 2gb gtx 960 my only issue is that vsync "on" every game (so yeah need a better monitor) or else get 80-100 fps and tear the hell out.. but id go with 970 just to feel... idk "with the cool guys" lmao

a gtx 1050 ti is going to be cheaper than $150 easy, and its better than a 960


a gtx 1060 or rx 480 is going to be cheaper than $230


dont get a gtx 970 at that price
