Which is better to buy GTX 960 or R9 280x?

Porn Elephant
He asked for advice - he was answered. More advice is still for 280X.

but what about hd 7950 there is dx12?

I don't know, honestly. It seems that the core is also GCN, maybe it will be.

seems to have this vidyuha in firewood 15.7!

greedy!
until dx12 comes in hardware performance, all poor cards will no longer be trite to pull anything and go to the trash.
and so dx12 depends on the support of drivers tk shader model for all 5.x for radeon 7xxx it is even fuller in blocks and instructions than zhyforsov.

R9 285 R9 290/X R7 265. Take R9 290 is not much more expensive and much more productive

NerdGeek I
agree. Now on the 290th price has decreased.

And processors Fx?

>960 128bit 2gb vs 280x 384bit 3gb and they are still being compared)))
Another victim of marketing.

loke2014
will of course support dx 12, kerchief solitaire and sapper

loke2014
What do processors care about DX support? They don't care.)

loke2014 and
how will they support if there is no integrated graphics core)))

do not believe it, but even they will not start without the built-in video)))

For people with brains, numbers are not a criterion in choosing a product. Compare GTX 970 vs R9 290X. The first tire has half as much, but this does not prevent it from leading in most games. But who am I explaining?

Tests from a single source do not allow you to objectively judge performance. I found where the GTX 970 merges (and that is not at all egregious), and I'm glad. I can find tests in the same way where your R9 280X leaks.
So it is not necessary to consider numbers as the main measure.
