GTX 960 4gb or GTX 970 4gb and is it worth the Price?

[HellIsCool]

Hello Guyz,
I want to buy a graphic card, as you read the title I am in a confusion whether to buy GTX 960 4gb or GTX 970 4gb and I also cannot decide the company for the same.

My Rig is:
CPU : i7 4790k
MB : Hero 7
Ram : Corsair 8gb Vengeance
SMPS : Corsair 550v
HD 1 : Sandisk ssd 128 gb
HD 2 : WD Purple 1 TB

What are you confused about? The 970 is better than the 960 and also more expensive. As for company EVGA and MSI are my go-to. Love MSI.

what is this rig used for gaming is my guess?
in games what resolusion and settings do you want and what fps 30 60 165?
and have you considered the rx 480 r9 390x and gtx 1060 or gtx 1070?

I know that 970 is better but my question is, is it worth the extra cost.

I use this rig for gaming and I play at 1080p with every thing max out with if possible 60 fps.

970 100% for max 1080p and also have you considered the rx 480 and gtx 1060? the 480 is about as fast as the 970 and the 1060 is faster

Yes I am also wondering about the gtx 1060 but my concern is that it is without SLI but since I have yet to use SLI I don't know whether it is worth it or not.

For rx 480, I have not used any AMD cards before so don't know anything about it as well as it is quite costly in my country (INDIA).

Please also tell me which company's card should I purchase as till now only zotac is providing gtx 1060 in my country.

if you dont plan on upgrading the sli issue not much to worry about if you get the money for a 2nd 1060 you can sell your current and get a 1070 or 1080 😉

Should I wait for asus or msi, zotac or palit is good enough and they have overclocking provisions?
