There's about a 25% difference between a 970 and 960... and just to compare even the 960 is about 5x faster than my 275. :) See the links in my earlier post in thread about the 970 stuttering after the first 3.5GB being used. Most people just compare framerate numbers on benchmarks between cards and think that's the only thing to consider. Just randomly pulling a recent RPG for a look, Dragon Age Inquisition seems to be good for about 55 frames per second with a GTX980 at 1080p. I think this means your video card would produce a slideshow at less than 10fps :) http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/dragon_age_inquisition_vga_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,7.html Investing the extra bucks to build a machine right, that far exceeds what current gen consoles can do, will provide many years of gaming without upgrades. Skimping and running shitty equipment will just lead to regrets when running modern games.
