GeForce GTX 960 vs Radeon RX Vega 7
When choosing between GeForce GTX 960 and Radeon RX Vega 7, it is worth examining the specifications of the models in detail. Do they meet the recommended requirements of modern games and software? Storage capacity, form factor, TDP, available ports, warranty and manufacturer support are all important. For example, the size of a PC case can limit the maximum thickness and length of the card.
