Can't seem to find specific FPS EVE online performance for GTX970 and GTX960.
I'm torn between these two cards and wonder what the FPS performance is for them at 1080p and 1440p. Can current owners of these cards give me some figures?
Thanks.
Edit: All settings maxed. I know both cards would easily get 60fps at 1080p. My main concern is being able to take advantage of 144hz + 1440p/1080p. |

I have a 970 with a 1440p / 144Hz screen. I can not maintain 144fps with everything on highest. Knocking off AA helps a lot, and keeps it much closer to the 144FPS. Knocking all settings down to medium and I've never not been at full FPS.
I'm sure I could find a good balance of some being on highest / medium, but I tend to stick with medium on the off chance I get into large fleet battles and it drops slightly.
It's ok, lots of great information from everyone. So do you recommend spending the extra for the 144hz? EVE is too gorgeous not to get a 1440p monitor, but can't decide if it's worth the much higher price jump to get one that does both 1440p/144hz.
Is the jump from 60hz to 120hz/144hz very noticeable in EVE? Will my best experience be to run the game at max quality, 60hz, 1440p and full 60fps all the time... or medium settings getting full 144fps... or a compromise and run max quality with varying fps 60-144?
Thanks, your answer will probably be the decider  |

I have the 960 and i run it on max everything with no lag at all, I can spout numbers if someone tells me how. CTRL+F in game or use 3rd party OSD software such as RivaTuner. You can get that with MSIAfterburner or PercisionX. Ok, after that with the GTX 960 FTW with max everything, I get: 275 FPS just warping around Brief dip to 80 FPS on system load after a jump 250 FPS on a gate with no players (Just NPC's) 110 FPS on the Jita undock (Changed depending on which direction you were looking at, lowest I got was looking back at the station for 100 FPS) I'm running 2 monitors with 2 docs open and Mozilla along with EvE, so the others shouldn't affect it much.
Thanks... so if I don't spend extra for the 144hz, it seems the 960 will aptly handle the job. |

Pretty much my thoughts. I can achieve this for a reasonable price. The temptation to kick it up a notch and do it all at 120-140fps is a costly one... Willing to pay the price if those framerates can remain stable at max settings and if people who have experienced this can testify that it is worth the big bump in price... if not, 1440p at 60fps is nothing to complain about. Game already looks gorgeous on my TN 21in 1080p. Can't wait to see it in 1440p, 27in, IPS. The 144hz factor is the sticking point right now. The price difference is almost double to do 1440p, IPS, and 144hz all in one panel compared to just 1440p/IPS. |

Need that in context. What resolution and FPS?
My 750 doesn't break a sweat either, but it's all relative. I'm just in 1080p 60hz. |

Eve runs at light speed, there are no loading times at all. I am getting 850 FPS (yes 850) on a 27 inch BenQ monitor.
However, graphically, it is overkill. The graphics look no different to a pals 960.
Hope this offers some help in your choice of system.
Hal
Thanks... it does. Seems the 970 is all I need if I want 120fps, and the 960 if I just want 60fps.

I look forward with anticipation to the day when I can understand what that means  |

It appears to be... literally... 2x the card with double the memory and bits. So I am a bit baffled as to why the 970 appears to outperform it according to this:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Curious as to why this is and what is the "new technology". I would certainly consider a 390, but ruled it out based on similarly priced Nvidia cards outperforming them in tests I have read. |

Good point. Checked out a bunch of other sites and general consensus is that the 390 does slightly outperform the 970. For so much more on paper I'm surprised the difference is so small. Practically an RCH of difference. Seems just go with the better price or stick with personal preference. |

Jenshae Chiroptera wrote:Except that in many cases the 390 isn't fully tapped yet. Driver updates may well increase performance further. Then you need to look at what they are weighing. Are they sending instructions to the cards, saying, "Calculate this and give us the gigaflops result," which would mean that memory and bus speed aren't tested?
I'm admittedly not a tech guru, but it has been 4 months since release. I don't have high hopes for future driver updates doing anything significant.
As far as the specifics and gigaflops, bus speeds, etc... To be honest I just want the bottom line, how many fps and at what resolution does GPU A get and GPU B get. They're both close.
But yes, based on everything I've read there is no reason to go with the 980 over the 390. Slightly cheaper, slightly faster... better is still better even when it's slightly better.
DX12 also seems to be working much better on AMD and Freesynch won't require special hardware like G-synch does in the monitor. Obviously providing more flexibility for the future and a slightly cheaper monitor price now. Still, it feels like splitting hairs. |
