GTX 960 v R9 280x

I found a link to a video that shows the 960 in a side by side comparison with the 280x. The tested games and there on screen times are

1. 0:06 Titanfall
2. 0:57 The Crew
3. 1:26 Dying Light
4. 2:37 Dragon Age: Inquisition
5. 3:24 DayZ
6. 4:31 Far Cry4
7. 4:57 Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
8. 5:16 Assassin's Creed Unity
9. 6:05 World of Tanks
10. 6:31 Battlefield 4
11. 7:07 Watch Dogs
12. 7:32 Crysis 3
13. 8:11 Hitman: Absolution
14. 8:39 Tomb Raider (2013)

Although it's not an english video it does not need to be for the data we're getting from it and as the list shows it is a good selection of games that are tested, so I thought I'd put it in a thread for anyone considering these cards to see, If I find any others that are done like this I will add them to this thread as well.

Overall, the 280X keeps further ahead than I thought it would, and also has more vibrant colours. There's still life in my 7970 yet! :D

280X
 
Looks like the 960 sits between the 280 and 280X. Surprising amount of difference between the 280 /7950 & 280X 7970 ghz. More than I realized.
