PNY GTX 960 4GB vs Gigabyte R9 380 4GB

[legnis]

Hello.

I don't know what graphic card i should buy. Look this, i saw many videos on YouTube and i see the R9 380 4GB always winning over 960 GTX 4GB but my question is that. What i should buy.

The R9 380 4GB Has a DirectX12 support feature level 12_0
The GTX 960 4GB has a DirectX 12 full support feature level 12_1

I was considering the R9 380 is a bit lighter in performance. But the GTX 960 has full support for DirectX 12 and with regard to exclusive games coming out I think it would be worthwhile to go for nvidia and get the benefits of DirectX 12 and the optimized nvidia games What you recommend me?

Keep in mind the technology they use both cards and efficiency that it will have in future games, specially in the GTX 960 Maxwell.

My actual rig is:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 @4.0ghz
RAM: 8GB Corsair XMS @2000mhz
PSU: Corsair HX850W @850W
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 3.0

Thanks!!

I'd recommend the GTX 960, as I have used both NVIDIA and AMD products, long story short, the NVIDIA product will produce a more stable framerate. MOST games these days are more optimised for NVIDIA than AMD. Whichever you decide to get, I hope I helped you in your purchase.

EDIT: Also, it depends on what you are trying to do with your card, if you are playing games such as Fallout 4, then you are better off with the GTX 960 for more graphics options and better driver support.

Even without the full dx12,the r9 380 will still outperform the gtx960
