Crowsfoot Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hey Gang; It's that time again, purchase of a new video card is emminent. I have been looking online and while I am tempted to get the 970 card (I know you'll laugh IronMike), I am hesitant due to the cost, I find it difficult to be able to justify $505.00 after taxes for a video card when I can get the 960 for 304.99 taxes in. Gang I would like if possible some non-partisan advice here. I am replacing my GTX 560 Ti. Yours Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Brian, I now got the 750 TI, not the very latest I know but heaps of VRAM and runs Lockon real smooth.(Single player) Was not all that expensive. Some good deals around. However I got mine retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:RIPTIDE Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 960 is a midrange card. It's ok. It's a bit worse than my GTX 770. And my 770 is pretty good for DCS for example. The GTX 970 is considerably better. As in ~50% better frames/s in games. At the end of the day, it's all about your budget. 960 will be a decent performer for most of your uses.

Tricky11 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I went from a gtx570 to a gtx980 and in dcs it didn't make a whole lot of difference as dcs is held back by not utilising all the cores on the cpu... but in newer games the gtx980 has made a massive difference but to be honest I don't know if I needed such a expensive gpu... I say if you can get a gtx970 that would be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowsfoot Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well gang, I appreciate all the help. in the end it came down to budget restrictions and I opted for the 960 specifically http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487091which I gained an additional $25.00 off by using my Visa so total cost was $286.33 shipping and taxes in. I am nown in the process of saving for new mainboard and processor (probably in December LOL). Again thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
