gtx 960 vs radeon r9 280 (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

Please help me choose between these options. The owners of these cards, please write about performance, especially in the witcher.

I have a computer with such a radeon (full config in the profile), the witcher goes on high with a stable 40 fps, in caves, buildings and similar small locations it rises to 50-70 fps.

R9 280x is faster than 960
In general, for such cases I have a couple of sites where you can find out which video card is better, there are also comparisons of processors and ssd drives

http://www.benchmark.pl/ ranking/gpu everything is in Polish, but the meaning of all measurements is clear

The fact of the matter is that without the "x", the budget is limited, and these cards are identical in price

gtx 960 has a small bit depth of 128 bits, 2048 MB of memory (well, or 4 MB)!
r9 280 ___384 bits, 3072 MB of memory!
Only now the gtx 960 core is overclocked to the limit and has a frequency on the chip right up to 1329 MHz, Boost - 1393 MHz, which the Radeons never dreamed of! And from memory
7200
MHz
Here everyone will push their own! Look for better tests on the Internet!
If r9 280 - from Asus will be more reliable and easy to overclock to (and higher) r9 280X - I advise it!
Faster than any gtx 960!

And it’s even better to go broke on 970, I have from gigabyte, gaming 4g. Everything on ultra measured the very minimum was 47 fps, and it’s stable more than 60, in cut scenes it’s really locked at 30 fps, xs why.

Just 280 is also faster.

I confirm the words of CrowBY. I am very pleased with my radio. At high temperatures, the game behaves remarkably.... Now it's hot here, but the card doesn't even heat up much... above 70 s, it doesn't rise when playing... True, I optimized the game using AMD Gaming Evolved plus set up a little more powerful cooling in MSI Afterburner
ManowaR, I beg your pardon... I did not immediately understand what you need without "x" I have r9 280x

Thank you all for your answers. I take r9 280.

Take the Radeon and don't worry. I play on it myself - stable 45-55 fps in cities. In other places even higher. Nvidia is overpriced, in most cases undeservedly. The frequency is a little higher, and you give out much more money.

maybe you first read the reviews before writing something like this

MSI R9 280 Gaming (without X) quietly overclocked to 1155/7280 MHz

Take the GTX 960, it consumes much less energy and works great in the Witcher.

50fps is not enough? PS4 is generally 20-30fps, and there are medium-high settings.

well, I have 960 for 4gb from asus, all in a bunch on high with hairworks turned on at all. stable without dropouts.
Yes, and there are 960 with more bits more expensive for a mower-two, but according to tests, these bits do not give her shit.
By the way, I watched the test of Radik c256 and Nvidia from 128, Radik lagged behind by 5-10 fps!
so it's not all about that. and of course 980 is better)))

here it's a matter of taste, if I may say so
on 960 GTA 5 high ultra, plus the range is twisted, etc., beauty without drawdowns.

960 gives out more because of the "optimization" from Nvidia. In The Witcher, Nvidia is completely insolent. 970 does 780ti although 970 is clearly weaker. 960 is generally at the level of 780. So sit at 960 for a year and Nvidia will merge it with firewood. will play even some kind of gtx1040 with a gig of video memory. and a 32-bit bus: D

I myself am sitting on an MSI 280. Overclocking is 1200/6800. Settings: shadow range and water on medium. shading - ssao. hair is off. the rest is beyond. fps 45-60

Today I overclocked my msi r9 280x, now it’s stable 30 fps + -1, I set everything to ultra except for the vegetation range, I set it high, so try it, maybe someone will get better, before overclocking it was 18-20 fps with the same settings, and if you turn off the hair then 50-60
