As can been seen from those techpowerup charts the nvidia GTX 960 2GB is well above entry level standard and imho with lowering of the details to medium'ish settings should allow very playable performance in AAA titles. U dont even need to run at medium, just drop the more "heavy" settings and ur good.
The Bottom Line. Nvidia's latest "Maxwell" features and power-efficiency gains get more affordable in the GTX 960, and MSI's air cooler both looks good and performs well in this card. But this
Current price. $1112 (5.6x MSRP) $440 (2.2x MSRP) Value for money. Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better. GTX 1060 3 GB has 21% better value for money than GTX 960.Tbh the 960 isn't that great of a GPU for the money. Lots of better options in the $200 range. Often you can find a R9 380X or R9 290 for the same price or close to a 4GB 960. Which is way better than a 380 even.
