560ti to 950? (until the new nvidia and amd ranges are out)

[Moholeo]

I'm thinking of upgrading from my MSI 560ti. I would like a very future proof card, however I'm aware that Nvidia and AMD will be releasing new ranges in the next year or so. Would it be worth getting the 950 for the interim, or should I not bother?

The 560ti recently decided it is no longer happy playing GTAV at 1080p.

Keep it, same some bucks and go for newest from AMD/Nvidia in 4~6months (pascal/polaris).

Your call. It's a decent step up from 560ti.

I was thinking I could get £30ish for the 560ti, then sell back the 950 for £60/70 when I upgraded. So I wouldn't be sinking the whole £130. Do you know anywhere you can see performance comparisons between older cards and newer ones?

as its just an interim card, why not grab something from the used market?

GTX 670/680 can often be found for £50-70 used and will out perform a 950.

Good point. I genuinely hadn't thought about doing that. Thanks!

thtas what i have done the 900 series are re badged 600 -700 series with a new chip & supoose to be tuned up but detuned earlier gen hardware out preforms new school sometime the benchmarks lye its what ur physically seeing on ur screen i have seen. The 260gtx gen cards still give the new articture cards a run in certain games u got a 560ti they are prety grunty cards for there age u can still get more out of it
