What do you guys think about the card(s)? Do any of you own them? Did you overclock? +102 GPU Clock got me at a stable 55-60 FPS with EyeCandy v6, the card maxes out any other game aswell.

I own the GTX 960 and let me say that I am VERY pleased! I have not considered overclocking yet and I ain't sure if I would even consider it with the performance I'm currently receiving. 

 

Video of 960 in Action! (Early Episode Release!)

I have a Zotac Geforce GTX 970 4GB not overclocked or anything and I max every game. Highly recommended 

Don't buy a 970 and you'll be fine.

I have a gtx 970 by msi and i overclock the CRAP out of it, its a great card.

i boosted the core clock by 200

mem clock +300

powerlimit 110%

I dont mess with mem clock that much, it makes a small difference. Also, I max out every game too, besides gta (without OC)..I get around 120-200fps on bf4 ultra, but gta iv, if i dont OC, Ill only get around 45-50, with +100 Gpu clock, ill get 60, I sometimes dip 3-4 FPS when im driving at top speed or something.

This card is pretty sweet i badly want the gigabyte gtx 980

I have a gtx 980 superclocked, worth every penny

Why would you not buy a 970?

I didn't know people still cared about that. It's useless unless 4k.

 

If you had the money for a 980, you should go with 2 970s if your mobo supports SLI. But for the moment I don't really think you need an upgrade.

It's the fact that nVidia lied to their customers and that they aren't doing anything about it. It's false advertising.

In reply Windows446, you are completely wrong sir. First of all, yes the 3.5GB ram issue is there BUT as theninja35 has state, NO games currently use 4GB of VRAM on 1080p or even 1440p. The only game that does is Shadow of Mordor with Ultra Textures at 4K in which case if you are doing that then yes, the 970 is not for you but that does not make it a bad card. In fact, it's is one of the best performance cards on the market right now for the price. Also it's not only 3.5GB. The memory is broken into 2 segments, one is 3.5GB of faster VRAM while the other 500MB is much slower. I can tell first hand that the 970 is one of the best cards to get right now for the price as I recently bought an Asus Strix GTX 970 for 300$ and it runs GTA IV max settings with CRYEnb V3 and bunch of other shaders with 10+ mods and I get around 50ish FPS while recording on 1080P. Any other optimized game such as Shadow of Mordor, Dying Light run at max with 60FPS. Not being a fanboy here but with all due respect, you are wrong about the 970. As for OP, if you are on a budget, a 970 is perfect but if you can shell out more, grab a 980 or SLI 2x970's together. If you are going cheap, a 960 does the job well but don't expect max out 60FPS gaming. Cheers!

 

*Note* My 970 is o/c by +100Mhz, not much tho and you can go higher.
