Radeon R9 380 vs. GeForce GTX 960 Video Card Review

Conclusions

When we directly compared the Radeon R9 380 from HIS and the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 960, both with 4 GiB memory, we can say they are video cards with similar performances, since each one was a little faster in some games, and a little slower in other ones.
On the other hand, it is necessary to say the GeForce GTX 960 we tested is a model with a reasonable overclocking, which means that if we compare other Radeon R9 380 (some models come with a higher overclock rate than the 2% of the tested model) with a GeForce GTX 960 with clock rates closer to the standard, it is possible the Radeon R9 380 performs faster on all games. Nowadays, on the video card market, almost every model has a little factory overclocking over the reference model, so it is impossible to generalize the results for any video card that uses the same GPU.
We concluded that both video cards are great models. Both of them allow for an excellent gaming experience in Full HD, with medium or high image quality and high framerate. Only if you have a 1440p or a 4K display, will you really need more firepower than these cards offer.
