What card should I buy next?
I bought the MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-Bit GDDR5 card in 2011. It has done well, but will not play Far Cry 4 full maxed out, not even close. To maintain 35FPS I need to play at medium video setting in FC4, sometimes high but not for long. With time the FPS dip under 30FPS and is then unplayable.
I am unsure as to what upgrade path I should take. The 960 looks attractive, of course, because of the price, new architecture, power consumption etc... but I am unsure how much it will outperform my current card.
I'd like some future proofing in my new card, but only because I know that next year or the year after there will be a 4K monitor on my desk and I'd like a card that can handle it and the games I'll be playing in 2 to 3 years before it's time for another upgrade.
Won't spend over $350 and would very much like to spend closer to $200.
Thank you for your advice and suggestions.
