Which is better to buy GTX 960 or R9 280x?
This is the choice. GTX 960 or R9 280x. And I decided about the processor FX-8320)I would take r9 280x, otherwise look at the tests, figure out which one you like and can afford.

weak casing? in what sense? if you are talking about strength, then it is METAL on both sides, in principle it cannot be weak! if about the cooling in the casing, then it is very good. 3 powerful coolers and an excellent heatsink with heat dissipation from the GPU.
Evga is a European version, you will not find it in the Russian Federation, unless someone specifically ordered it. and so it can only be bought from the manufacturer, and then by mail to wait for it.
and by the way, her cooling will be worse than from gigabytes

per gigabyte GTX 970 casing is plastic. The Gaming G1 version has a metal backplate, but the shroud itself is plastic. Gigabyte went to simplify the CO, in comparison with the previous series of cards - the GTX 780, where the casing was metal.

I don't know Where did you read the information that the 970 has a plastic casing, BUT!!!! right in front of me is my system unit, and it can be seen with the naked eye that the entire casing is METAL. Yes, I even tapped the casing with a screwdriver. the sound is clearly not from plastic !!!!
go to the gigabyte off site and it says that:
To cool the radiator, three 77-mm fans manufactured by Power Logic (model PLD08010S12H) are used, fixed in a metal frame. as well as a protective plate on the back of the board. which is also metal.
on the sides of the card (where the inscription Windforce) is also a metal insert!
go to any store, ask to hold it in your hands, and you will see what it is
PS I mean ONLY the Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 Gaming card.

About Evga is nonsense, it has long been on the Russian market (dns, technopoint, etc.)

may be so, but I haven't met her. and on various Internet resources, they said that EVGA is a European model and is not intended for the Russian Federation. only on order from the manufacturer. I bought a card half a year ago, and I also looked for info half a year ago, respectively.

yes, there was a mistake. Plastic shroud on her little sister GTX 970 Windforce 3.

280x is not weaker than 960, about the same performance, but the picture in some games will be worse at 280x
I am the owner of a Gigabyte gtx 970 G1 gaming, from myself I will say that in games it is really silent, does not heat up (65 degrees in games), pulls everything on ultra (in full hd 1920x1080). x4 965 hair dryer system with overclocking to 3.8, 8 gig of RAM. Only the price can scare away - I recently took it for 24500.

I have with 7970 and i5 2450p everything is the same, only I took it from my hands 4 times cheaper)

wrote what nonsense? R9 280-x is more powerful than a stump of gtx 960, and the picture is just the same on AMD.

280x but there is one but! 280x does not support DX12, but the GTX960 does)
loke2014
The whole 2x series and re-released 3x series. Do not listen to the top ones, the 2xx series has full support for DX12. In any case, the R9-bit is accurate.
This is Zelenka they threw, the whole 7xx series with DH12, so they buggert. from:
