is 760 enough for games today and the future...but i see cool technology behind the gtx 900 series...what are your opinion guys?

sorry if i have bad english
 
Solution
games will ALWAYS get more demanding and GPUs will always get more powerful. They are both exponential curves.Waiting is pointless. Buy the best GPU for NOW, not the future.

But I've heard a lot of bad reviews on the 970, because the reason it comes so cheap is that they cut edges on it. So it's not as durable. The 760 has pretty decent scores, for it's price. I'd say compare the 670 and 970 instead

a gtx 760 will handle most current games at ultra if you switch off multisampling. I am running bf4 for example at 60+ fps with ultra settings, just multisampling disabled.(capped at 60 but it doesnt drop under the ocasional 54 fps)
noone seems to be mentioning that.
yes a gtx 970 is alot better. but the gtx 760 isnt a bad card neither. but for futureproofing, you should go for the 970.

also, the benchmark scores that tiny voices linked are from a evga gtx 970 against a referance card gtx 760. so the temperatured and noise levels and even the performance depends on the brand.

I'm just trying to give you the full picture here. everyone is screaming 970. and I'm sugesting it too. but I'm also telling you, that if you cant afford it. the gtx 760 is still a good option.
 


No. There is no reason to buy a 2 generation old GPU. The real direct competitor for the 970 is the 780. don't even consider a 670.

yeah i see good reviews about the 970 but in my country the 970 is ridiculously expensive how much more the 980...
 

I completely agree, why would you compare to a 670?
i havnt read any bad reviews saying they have cut corners...please enlighten me?
if anything, its because it doesnt use as much power that hey havn't needed to put such robust parts in it, not for the sake of cutting corners.
