Upgrade from GTX 560 to GTX 960

[cct-kun]

Hi, I have the following specs:

- P5Q SE2 motherboard
- Intel Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz (OC)
- 4GB DDR2 RAM (4x1GB in dual-channel)
- ASUS GTX 560 Ti DCII TOP 1GB (PCIe 2.0 x16)

I would like to know if I would notice any increase of performance if I bought a GTX 960. I don't know exactly how far I am gonna be bottlenecked if I maintain the current CPU with a new graphics card.

Thank you all!

You may be bottlenecked for some CPU intensive games. Most of the time it would be an acceptable pairing. You will see a significant performance increase. The 960 is about double a 560Ti

Yes there would be a noticeable difference, however I recommend a r9 280x as this is about the same price and has much better performance. Even an r9 280 priced about 40$ cheaper than the gtx 960 is a better option as it has same performance, but also has extra gig of vram for higher resolutions and newer games, this can even be overclocked into same territory as a gtx 770.

Only Nvidia gpus worth buying in my opinion are 750ti (if you have low wattage psu), or the gtx 970/980
