GTX 760 or 960 worth the extra Price?

[Danielusar]

Hy Guys

I actually look for getting a Graphics Card into my PC again.
I could buy a MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr for 120 bucks
or one of the 960´s for around 200.
My Question is, is the 960 actually worth paying more, since afaik
it has only around 10% Performance increase over the 760.
I play on 1600x900 and i honestly don´t care so much about the lesser
Power Draw of the 960. Its just about the Performance and the Price for me.

I am not looking for AMD Cards

Thx in advance

GTX 960 is a great card, but so is the 760 still expecially if youre playing on 1600x900. So the GTX 960 means you dont have to upgrade that much in the upcoming years but yeah.

Another advantage of the 960 over the 760 is that the 960 uses a lot less power while giving you that better performance.

Well, thx for the Replys, but the Question is still mainly about the Price Point for me.
I am not sure if i want to pay like 60-70% more for that small gains.

Yeah the money is usually the main factor for many people. I would still go for the GTX 960 since its kinda cheap here, but the price can be a pain in the ass depending on where you live.

Do what I did, eliminate the price gap. I recently ordered a 960 from jet.com and as a first time customer, the 20% off made it only $140. If I couldn't get the 960 at a good price, I would have gotten the 950.

Well, i decided to go with the MSI GTX 760 now, since i am on a budget and i dont want to pay 80-100 Bucks more for just the small performance gain.
The lower Power Consumption also dont seems that much of a saving or atleast not in a time where i most likely change to another card again.
Lets see whats up with the Pascal Cards next year^^

Ok, nevermind!
I rejected the offer for the 760 because there was someone selling a only 2 Week old GTX 950 for 115 Bucks.
I picked this one up instead. Not as strong as the 960, but for that Price a good offer to me now :>
