Where does the GTX 960 fit in?

[JBDelta]

Hey Guys!

So, today NVidia released their new GTX 960 with Maxwell Architecture. What I want to know before I buy this GPU is... is it really better than the R9 280, 285, or 760? Or is that just what NVidia said as an act of an advertisement gimmick. Also, what kind of FPS can I expect in popular titles such as Skyrim and BF4? Or F2P games like Heroes and Generals and PlanetSide 2?

Thanks in advance!

The review should answer most of your questions.

it's better than the gtx 760, slightly better than the r9 280 and worse than the r9 285. It has way lower wattage, noise and cooling than any of those tho.
Skyrim should be playable on ultra without any trouble. Bf4 I think about 40-50fps on ultra. Heroes and Planet should be perfectly playable too.
