GTX 960 4GB

Does the 128-bit bus really cripple it, or is the 960 an okay card?
Let's say I can't get a 380 or wait for Polaris/the 1060.

Yeah it's OK. The 4gb will probably never all be used. 380/x does do better in games, tho. I would probably regret it in about 4 months though.

Apparently even 4gb of HBM wasn't enough for some benchmarks and it filled up crippling performance for the Fury X.

I say be patient faggot, AMD is looking at the mainstream GPU market 1st instead of the top down approach of Nvidia

Just wait for the 1060

honestly id just wait for the inevitable 1060gtx.

the x60 of a series are the unbeatable price/performance kings ususally 200-250 bucks depending on manufacturer.
i also havent had a game i couldnt max out yet on 1080p with 60fps with my 760gtx. ill be upgrading one amd shits out polaris and the 1060gtx is available.
cpu is also a huge role though. nowadays the cpu is much more important.

No, 128 bit does not cripple it. Consider the games you play when making your purchase. If you play the same 2 mobas or shooter all day then the card will serve you fine for a few years.

It's a piece of shit and you know it is, or you wouldn't be making this thread and offering excuses for why you might buy it. If you want to be a retard, go ahead. Nobody cares.

I have the 4GB 960 and I definitely use all the VRAM. However, my use case is unique - Second Life has very unoptimized models and 1024x1024 textures on tiny buttons.

960 is an okayish card. Why not just spend a little more and get something better since you've gotta keep it for years?
Also with all the shit nvidia is doing lately i'd just get an amd

I have a 350w PSU (it's not shit quality, just low) so I have to go Nvidia. I considered waiting for the 1060 or even 1050, but it's not worth it to me. If it's okayish, that's basically good enough for me.
