Hi everyone. I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card to EVGA GTX 960 2GB over my Asus GTX 650Ti boost, does it worth or should I save money and get 4GB card in the future (after few months when price go down for 970)? thanks

Yes bro, u should upgrade to GTX 960 as it will give a 45% boost with better frame rate.Moreover it is a new card based on Maxwell architecture and requires less power, produces less heat and will also be compatible with Directx 12.
GTX 960 will easily give u a fps of 40+ on games like Assassins creed unity, NFS Rivals , Far cry4 at ultra high settings
 
r9 280 performs the same or better(higher post proccesing/resolutions) and is 40$ cheaper. When you are willing to pay 200$ for a gpu, tdp shouldn't be your deciding factor. Besides these cards do not run as hot as people claim (Volcanoes) Just get one from asus/msi/gigabyte/sapphire/powercooler/etc. with the cooler on it, and enjoy overclocking potential into gtx 770 territory.
 


Yeah pretty much, except for the small amount of people who use high res texture mods who might make use of the extra vram in less demanding games.

What will be interesting is if the price is good they should perform similarly to a single 980 for less money.
