ok, I have an AMD Athlon X4 860k with 8gb ram. I’m currently using a Radeon HD7850 1gb.
This works ok for most things but obviously struggles with some games.
I have seen on here that the best graphics card I can get without bottleneck would be the GTX960.
Is this card considerably better than my current one or am I unlikely to see a big increase in performance.
Secondly I have seen a cheaper GTX1050 2gb, would this work better or worse than a gtx960.

I realise that the best way to increase performance is to upgrade the processor but this isn’t an option for me at the moment.
