Is the GTX 960 a GPU worth getting?

[Xilaxion]

Is it any good? Also, I heard its memory bandwidth and memory interface width are quite less compared to a GTX 660(I own a GTX 660) and I would like to ask if these two factors affect the GPU's overall performance in any way.

nope it will barely be a upgrade, a gtx 970 is worth getting more than that crap gtx 960 it would be good if it was priced lower and or had more memory but it doesn't making it a not smart buy the lower power usage a advantage though i must say compared to a 760 or 660

The only good GPU in the 900 series is probably the 980 seeing how the 970 has only 3.5 GB of Vram and the 960 is barely an upgrade as you have said.

Is an upgrade from the 660 to the 760 a good one? Like, will there be a good amount of difference in performance?

nope it is still the 970 even with the false specs it still is better value for money and is a very good performer still

i suggest you do a upgrade to a 970 a 760 isn't really a big upgrade the 960 beats it too but not by alot, the fps is gonna be around the same still the 970 is gonna be the game changer here

People have been telling me my facotry oc'ed Gigabyte windforce GTX 660 is a "bare minimum" gpu. That's why I was thinking of upgrading.

well from what games are recommending these days it looks like it but the gtx 660 is pretty good not as good as before but still is

I will probably struggle with games like Batman Arkham Knight and Witcher III. I know for a fact that I won't struggle with GTA V.

well now will be a good time to get a 970 because the witcher 3 is free with any gtx 960 970 and 980 gpu and the gpu will run gta 5 but no one knows if it is optimized good enough to run at 1080p med settings because it looks like that gpu can handle that

I can't get a GTX 970 right now though. It's like more than 300 dollars.

like 40 $ more with shipping but is worth because of the free game http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487077

I was in the same boat. Almost bought a 960, but 970 is superior so i went with a 970. Money was a factor too. My gtx 560ti 1gb lasted me 4 four years and still runs bf4 med/high at 1680x1050.

Just look at some benchmarks it will help you overcome the price

Bought new monitor as well to take advantage of card.

For $329 you can get evga gtx 970 ftw with free shipping on newegg.

Sell the gtx 660 to make up the gap.
