GTX 960 or 970 with AMD FX 8150?

Hello people

My current system specs:

AMD FX 8150

Gigabyte 990XA UD3, 16 GB 1333 MHz RAM

SSD Intel 160 GB, 2 TB WD Black

NVIDIA GTX 550ti

I intend to upgrade the graphics card for this system, the current 550ti is a very reliable companion for me in recent years but he stutters now. So I need advice from you guys about the upgrade. I mean with my CPU will there be a performance difference significant between 960 and 970 (two variants of 4 GB)? My workflow includes Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Davinci Resolve with 1080 p and 4K images.

Answer with real-world data would be appreciated.

Thank you

the two cards must be several times faster than the gtx 550 ti. the 970 gtx is maybe 40-50% + faster than the gtx 960. the gtx 960 would be good for adobe, except speedgrade software. DaVinci resolve depends more on the gpu and should do better with the gtx 970. color adjustments you make to solve, as the gpu will be used and replace the processor as the bottleneck. If you do not much settings or use of effects like NR or sharpen etc., there is a small chance the gtx 960 4 GB just might be sufficient.

    Anyone?

    Taxbo, welcome to the forum.

    Your problem is, the 960 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to upgrade the BIOS in the UEFI.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI are the GT of 640.

    As the video card is not configurable, you need top line model for the nVidia card.

    Even if you do not find the card separately, it is pretty close to the best that you can get these days - and portable at the tip cards can easily cost $ 1 000-1 500 just by themselves, so you would not probably save at the same time.

  • Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

    I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

    My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

    EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

    These cards are almost identical except;

    #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

    #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

    I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

    When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

    Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

    Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

    I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

    For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

    Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

    In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

    This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

  • What GTX 960 should I use to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900

    What are specific cards would be easier to install in my machine - if I get 960 GTX, I see all sorts of cards of different lengths, 1 and 2 fans, etc.

    A new graphics card would be difficult to install myself?   What is involved?

    Thank you

    Steve

    The 8900 XPS and 8700 share the same case so if you look in this thread, you will see the cards that match and cut cards requiring a certain case.

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../19611037

    I can personally attest to the MSI GTX 970 games 4 GB fits so check the size (length and height) and less it should fit without a problem.

    If you can wait a few weeks or perhaps a month, the GTX 1080 seems to be a surprising card to the prize draw and power. It's going to be a little more expensive, but much more capable.

    The installation is easy. search for youtube videos and you should find one.

    Edit: and you can sell your GTX 745 on ebay and recoup some of the cost.

  • NVidia Geforce GTX 960 in XPS 8300

    Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon HD 6450 in my XPS 8300 a GTX 960 (specifically, the edition of Strix ASUS) and I have a few questions:

    He enters the case? (dimensions of the card: 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 centimeters)

    Will it work with the motherboard? (the card is pcie 3.0)

    It will work with food? (460w power supply card 'up to 150W additional 6-pin PCIe consumption)

    Sorry if I look like a noob but this is my first time upgrading a platform.

    Thank you!

    The graphics card:

    www.Asus.com/.../

    The stock answer from Dell, it's that they tested only a handful of older cards.

    The reality is that many have done on an 8300. Search this forum and see what worked.

    Insofar as the PSU, yes the stock PSU THAT will work with a GTX 960. It has a PCI power with two cable six pins on the connectors. If the specific card you choose has a connector 8 pins, most of the cards equipped with a 8 pin adapter 6.

    I'm not 100% on the supply POWER 8300 has two six pin PCI connector.  Best to open the case and look. I thought the 8500, a member of the family was when I wrote this.

    But, how old is your system, and how much time it runs a day that it might be time to consider a new power supply. If so, search the forums for what everyone puts in their 8300, 8700 or 8900 again. They are in the same case and best I can tell essentially the same power supply.

    Another advantage of upgrading the PSU will be slightly more efficient and quieter.

    I upgraded to Seasonic X - 650 s of my 8700 s two and have the OEM in a box as a spare for the members of the family.

    So, while I'm spending your money, you might consider a GTX 970. Prices are down because the next generation of cards is almost here. If you're game, you can consider a little more power under the hood of the GPU.

  • XPS 8900 GTX 960 update graphics card

    Hello

    I have a XPS8900 with a GTX 960 2 gb card. I would like to replace with a better card. I have seen in some forums that a 1060 GTX is a good option. If this is the case, could someone let me know wich specific GTX1060 buy? and if the power supply will support it? (or probably I need a PSU update?)

    Any suggestion for map of othe who might fit better?

    Thank you

    One of the years 1060 GTX will work and the OEM PSU will work.

    Many maps have a single power connector 8 pins, so if the card does not come with one, two, six pine to single 8 reverse Y connector that you will need to purchase a.

    I had excellent results of the series of games of MSI, and here's a review where tech powerup gave the card a 9.8 out of 10 which is pretty good. I am surprised that they have not listened more than 1060 cards.

    I can't post links without obtaining of the moderate position, so replace with a POINT.

    www DOT techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1060_Gaming_X/

    1060 MSI Dimensions are the same as the MSI GTX 970, that we in a 8700 and it fits well. Tighten, but very good.

    And to see who has what available, here is a decent site that seems to have enough current prices listed.

  • U2414H, Dual, laptop, Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 960 M, no STDS to the second monitor?

    Hi all

    I hope that I have included all relevant information in the present, but ask if I missed something. I bought two of the screens U2414H and a Windows 10 laptop computer powered by GTX 960 M with HDMI and Mini DP ports. My goal was to be able to the Garland of the whole U2414H screens so I could use my laptop out and about, and when connection back to the monitors of would have to plug in a cable and get two screens. In theory, but...

    I followed the instructions and using two Mini-DP to DP cables, connected the mini laptop RFP RFP on the first screen. DP on this same screen highlights Mini DP on the second monitor. I activated the DisplayPort 1.2 on both of these screens. I can't get any signal on the second monitor, it boils down to the power saving mode.

    Otherwise, I decided I would try using two cables and ditch the idea of DP STD I can at least use the two screens. So I have laptop HDMI to a screen and the MiniDP to another, and therefore, that alone will never work at a time. Individually, they work very well, both with HDMI or DP. But the two connection fails every time. When I tried to connect a display of alternative supporting HDMI as the second, which works very well.

    So I had an autour reading and it seems that it is common to have problems of connectivity to these screens. This brings me well on my two questions:

    (1) is there something that would work?

    (2) assuming that there is nothing that works, Dell can swap these screens for two that will achieve what I need?

    Thank you

    Dave

    In MST, DP 1.2 should be turned off (disabled) on the second monitor.

    Laptop AMD on--> U2414H CDM to cable DP--> DP U2414H #1 in (DP 1.2 enabled) (Port #3 in the image)


    #1 U2414H (Port #5 in photo) DP--> DP U2414H CDM cable--> 2 # U2414H CDM in (DP 1.2 disabled) (Port #4 in photo)

    When you use only no STDS, is the lid of the laptop open all trying to run two monitors of U2414H? This laptop can even run three screens, laptop LCD + 1 # U2414H + 2 # U2414H?

  • Alienware X 51 RT2 Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 video card upgrade

    Hello

    I have the Alienware X 51 RT2 with 330 Watt power supply and 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz.
    Currently, I have Nvidia GeForce 760 with 1. 5 G GDDR5 accompanying my Alienware X 51 RT2.

    So, I want to upgrade my GPU GTX 960 (4 GB) if possible if not then of 2GB.

    I don't know if this will work and works perfectly with my office:
    PNY GeForce GTX XLR8 960 4 GB graphics VCGGTX9604XPB

    Need of your recommendation. This is a good option, or there is a better option?

    Thank you in advance.

    Because Alienware has not tested or it has given approval. The same happened with the R1 GTX 670 and X 51. The GTX 670 ends up being a GPU supported for the X 51 R2 after testing. In theory, even a GTX 680 could work at the X 51, but you need a little powerful processor (like an i3 or a processor of T).

    PNY has a GTX 970 you can use. As long as it looks like the PNY GTX 970, you good to go. First and foremost, I suggest you look at the sons of the X 51 + GTX 970 before making a decision. Not only those who have proven it works, but those warning as well. Do this first before answer please.

  • For the Ultra HD / 4K / HEVC / H.265 video editing: GTX 960 or 980 Ti GTX?

    How is it important to have a hardware video-enabled-decoding card?

    I am deciding to buy GTX 960 or 980 it GTX for Ultra HD video editing.

    The GTX 960 uses GM206 which has only 2 GB of memory, but includes based video decoding hardware.

    The GTX 980 it uses GM200 which includes NO video decoding, but has 6 GB of memory and the together better statistics:

    www.Game-Debate.com/GPU/index.php?gid=2935 & gid2 = 2813 compare=GeForce-GTX-980-TI-6GB-vs-GE force-gtx-960-2 GB - sli

    For games, the GTX 980 it is 'extremely better' than the 960 GTX:

    http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-960/3439vs3165

    Therefore, not for games, but for ultra HD video rendering, compatible more than make up for the worst overall performance hardware decoding?

    From a web forum: "only the GPU GM206 used in the GTX 960 supports full FIXED material HEVC decoding function. The GM200 used in the GTX 980 Ti and Titan X didn't, and the GM204 used in the GTX 970/980 also does not. »

    From a site of the magazine: 'we tested different video files on a GTX 960 H.265. Reading has been impeccable for each and every one of them, with only negligible CPU load, which means that they were handled entirely by the GPU. Reading files Ultra HD H.265 revealed no problem either. »

    Would the Ti 980 provide also "impeccable" reading of files of the Ultra HD H.265, even without hardware compatible decoding?

    Also, perhaps more fundamentally, the 960 even manages Ultra HD? From another site: "If you want to enjoy 4K game, then you will need to invest in a more expensive GPU Setup. For NVIDIA, the choice users clear right now is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti. »

    Because I need to return and then read on the computer I see huge video projects, do I need, more memory/hearts (980 Ti) or hardware compatible decoding (960)?

    Thank you!

    Material HEVC decoding/encoding is not supported in Premiere Pro, so that "advantage" is questionable.

  • 760 GTX vs GTX 960... stick or twist?

    Have done pretty well in my mind up on this, but for a sanity check, thought I would ask here for those who know.

    I have a couple of PNY GTX 760 purchased just before Christmas at a cracking price. The plan is / was that they want to go in a couple of Dell T5810 I am about to install for a next project (Xeon 1620v3, 16 GB RAM, SSD 2 x 256-2133). I saw that the GTX 960 are now on the market, so should I return the 760's and upgrade to the 960's for a cost of about £40 (ish) by card, or stick with the 760 GTX because they are a solid card, which, from my understanding, is a very good balance with the rest of the system?

    I already have 3 versions of hexagonal base of these systems operating with GTX 970 and have been very happy with them, but I know newer is not always better. There was limited reference points for GTX 960's (that I could find anyway), and they are mostly associated with games. I've seen some chatter around that fact that he is not a great leap forward on the 760 GTX, but how that translates to sue with Adobe and especially creative and Media Encoder? On the paper where the 760 has 256 - bit with a bunch of 192,2 Gbps memory bandwidth 960 is 128 bits with 112 GB/s. I know that Maxwell on more than Kepler improvements place for these stats through the end cards above, but put aside from the low power draw and heat it would really help in this case?

    Then, stick or twist? My current thinking is stick with the 760's, because it is not worth the extra £'s.

    Thanks in advance for all comments.

    Well the GTX with several processors cores 1152 1024 and more than 760 band 192 against 112 GB/sec memory bandwidth make the 760 GTX a CURRENT winner.  If you are thinking to the future and you want HDMI 2.0 for future use, then go with the 960 GTX, but HDMI 2.0 involves 4K video and or card is well equipped in the 4K process.

  • X 51 R2: upgrade to GTX 960 worth?

    Hello!

    I am running a 270 R9 GPU in my new X 51 R2 (i7). It is worth the upgrade to a GTX 960? Take a look at gpuboss.com, the R9 270 gets 6.5 points, while the GTX 960 gets 7.1. This doesn't seem to be a big gap... now I wonder if it's woth the 200 euros.

    I know that some people managed to upgrade to a GTX 970, but this card is still a little too expensice in my opinion.

    Thank you & have a nice day.

    Quite frankly, I wouldn't make the jump.
    If the R9 270 x already has the same amount of video memory, I would stick with that one.
    the GTX 970 is a great upgrade. But those EUR 200 make me think twice as well.

    With respect to the speed and the virtual memory of treatment that they are not that far apart. So, no. Personally, I wouldn't go with the upgrade.
