Which would you guys say is the better GPU?
A good 280 would be my choice.
The 280 is a better choice. Look to see if you can find a 280X. They are better and only a little bit more. Also if you want to spend like $20 more than the 960 grab an R9 290. That will stomp it.
R9 280. I could not be more happy with my HD7950 (same card).
R9-280 without question. you won't have to worry about 500mbs of memory messing up your performance.
R9 280/280X. The GTX 960 for $200 is a ripoff. The 280 series can play games up to 1440p/1600p for less money while the 960 cannot.
280 it's not even a competition.
280. Why is this even being debated.
If you're still deciding, I recently ran some benchmarks on the GTX 960...check it out
