Okay, so EVGA has better support/hardware components?
According to my research Gtx 950 is a proper upgrade to r7 265 (my budget is 15000 INR max, at the maximum). What do you guys think? Comments welcome. I'll buy real soon. |

EVGA seems to build high quality stuff. Based on the recommendations of other forum members that I trust, I would recommend the EVGA card.
The GTX 950 isn't really an upgrade to the R7 265. They are about on par with each other. The GTX excels in a couple of areas, and the R7 excels in a couple of areas. I don't think you will see a significant performance improvement over all with one or the other. If you've already got the R7, I think it would be a waste of money to swap it with a card that's pretty much the same feature and performance wise. If you really want an upgrade, save your money and get a GTX 970 or an R9 380X (a little less money, but not quite the same in performance. Still a good card though) |

I see. How about Gtx 960 amp! or evga or other editions? Rx470 is a bit costlier, some are saying it's good.

The RX 470, on the other hand, is significantly better than the R7 265 and would be a worthy upgrade. It even outperforms the GTX 970 in some aspects, as you can see in the benchmarks here: Radeon RX 470 vs R7 265 The RX 470 looks to be a solid card based on those benchmarks, and it's cheaper than the GTX 970. The GTX 970 is a slightly better gaming card, but can cost an extra $50 to $150 depending on the model. It's your money, but I wouldn't waste it on the GTX 960 for only a marginal upgrade in performance. If it were me, I would save my cash and buy the RX 470, or if I could afford it, the GTX 970. |
