Seems to be that the 960 is getting similar or better performance than a gtx 780 in the newer titles such as project cars. Let's call it "Maxwell Optimization" . Nvidia has already stopped selling the Kepler GPUs to vendors. Moving resources within their Driver team to only work with Maxwell GPUs would be shady and disgraceful and knowing this why would one buy another nvidia gpu? well idk but i sure want one over my gtx 780.


EDIT:That is the 4:00 p , need a coffee with 2kg of sugar , blues talking. sorry.
 
As someone with a 780 and games at 1080p I have started to hit 3gb vram usage when trying to max the latest games and I do like maxing games. The 980 doesn't look like a big enough jump in performance for the cost but the 980Ti is now on my to buy list.

Go for a 980 ti and you will not need to upgrade for a long time...
