Is it worth Upgrading to GTX 970 Now?

[SecretG]

My current card is Asus strix GTX 960 and i was wondering if its worth upgrading it to the GTX 970 or waiting for the next nvidia cards to come out? Because im planning on getting star wars battlefront 3 when it comes out and im not sure if my card will be able to run it at very high settings and maintaining constant 60fps.

If you already have 960 just keep it. Its still quite capable card.

I'd wait a bit until the 300 series hits, 960 is on the weaker side compared to 280X/290/290X/970, but since BF3 doesn't come out for a while, you have time.

You would see a performance change, yes, but not that much I'd imagine.
Probably the difference between running the game at medium - high @ 60 fps / high - very high @ 60 fps.

If you're desperate, I'd say go for it only if you can sell your 960 at a decent price, or even go for SLI 960 if you have a good enough PSU.
If not, I'd wait for a more substantial upgrade, such as the 980 or the next Nvidia series.

I can run gta 5 on mostly very high settings with turned off AA and grass,shaders,post fx cracked to high and get around 65-70fps average although it drop drop down to 47-55fps when there is alot of cars and traffic in downtown.

I am bit spectical waiting for next Nvidia cards because i hope it wont require you to upgrade a new motherboard to be able to have NVlink support. My PSU is 750w corsair

And I am probably going to be playing Black Desert mostly next year.

I wouldn't waste money on SLI 960s, the tiny bus and 2GB framebuffer already limit its potential. Going with a single 290/290X/970 you would see around 10-35FPS improvement over a 960 at lower resolution (1900x1200) depending on the game. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/palit_geforce_gtx_960_super_jetstream_review,12.html.
