obobski Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Awesome. So, double checking my understanding - 4GB VRAM is better for if I want to play with shiny HD textures? But do stuff like sunshafts and shadows come from clock speed? Ehh...that's heavily generalized/simplified, but not entirely wrong (e.g. larger textures have a larger memory footprint, and shader effects benefit from more processing power). I'd go with the cheaper 4GB card - the performance delta up to the overclocked once is very small (if even noticeable), and the extra RAM will eliminate any debate/worry about VRAM capacity. The 380X that Thanelze mentioned would be somewhat faster still, but may cost more, and uses more power (which isn't a big issue given your PSU but still worth noting); not a bad alternative consideration but the performance upgrade you're looking at either way (960 or 380X) over your 750 is pretty significant, so you should be set. Especially running at 1680x1050. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athanasa Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Especially running at 1680x1050. Turns out it's 1080p widescreen, I think Speccy / HWMonitor was drunk at the time. I had to launch a game to find out, as I can't find the screen resolution setting in Windows 10. Seriously, where's the good old right-click resolution? Either way, it's still low end resolution compared to some of the setups people have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh then just use the 1080p #s from the link I provided - still good to go with the 960 though (it'd only really be a problem if it was 4K or something equally huge). :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaneize Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) the price should be the same, the asus 960 and the the sapphire 380X both cost 250€ in germany Edited December 28, 2015 by Thaneize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalfisk282 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) you're looking at either way (960 or 380X) over your 750 is fairly important, so you should be set. Especially operating at 1680x1050. Edited January 6, 2016 by crystalfisk282 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
