Would the 960 be worth it?

[ObIivionn]

I currently have a Gt 640 and I'm looking to upgrade, I have 8 gig of ram and an Intel core i5. I'm stuck between a gtx 960 and a gtx 760, I can't really afford a 970 now, any help would be appreciated. I only plan on using it for gaming, not any video editing or serious cgi editing or something

Gtx 960 is more powerful and faster than 760, and it will support the new nvidia features, consume less energy, will take bigger time to become obsolete. I have a gtx 970, and i really love it. I would go by gtx 960.

Actually from a performance per dollar standpoint the 960 is untterly dismal. You would be better off buying a GTX670 FTW 😀

that's funny, the GPU heirachy chat shows that 960 is on par with the 670

go with the 960.
760's are really hard to get ahold of but if you can get the 4GB version at $250 it's worth it.

yes it's a great card! I can run shadows of mordor @ all high settings, not ultra though because of the vram.

May average fps was 62 and my minimum is 48fps

I'm sure you'll be able to have a stable 60+ frames with an i5 since my cpu is a bit of an ancient aging processor now.. lol best of luck!

edit: I'd go for the gtx 960 since it's newer and uses less power

Will the extra 2 gig really help, because I have the option of a 4 gig 960 for 363.98$
I'm thinking of the msi 960 armor for 285.95$
Usually the price of everything computing related are quite more expensive in my country

woah.. for 363.98$ I can buy a gtx 970 in my country, worth it? it depends on some games like GTA 5 and shadows of mordor. Sure it will but that price is for a gtx 970 O_O

Man, South Africa sucks, for almost everything they just decided, Hey why not, just slap another $100 on it, that's fair
For a Titan X here it costs like $1500 tell me that's not bullshit

🙁 .. anyways.. if you don't mind the extra dollar on the 4 gig vram version. Like I said it will be worth it on some games like GTA 5! go for it 😉

Funny thing is however, I got a Galaxy GTX670 GC V2, which is built on a GTX680 PCB and has nearly identical performance (within 1-4 FPS) for $140. ForNever on Overlock.net gave me his old 680 block for free and I was able to add the card to my loop for an overall cost of $150. Call me lucky, but if you know where to look and what to buy computers get very cheap.

EDIT: Still, the 960 will give you WHAY WHAY better results then what you have now, I was just trying to save you a pretty penny. Happy gaming!
