If anything they tie. Keep in mind the 7950 OCs very well.

On average, Asus' factory-overclocked Strix GTX 960 performs 5% better than a Radeon R9 285, and a little closer to the GeForce GTX 770 than the 760. A reference-clocked GeForce GTX 960 would have been slower than Asus' specimen, which could have made it slightly slower than, but still competitive with, a reference-clocked Radeon R9 285.

So it really depends on model and OC if any. For people like me with a 7950/280, the 960 isn't an upgrade.

The 7950 was renamed as the 280. It's better then the 270X or 960. It IS the 280 so they tie there. I've seen used 7950s go for $100, so it's not a great deal. And you should make sure you buy from someone you trust as a lot of these cards were used/abused by mining. There aren't a lot of upgrades at a cheap price for this card which is why I'm still using mine.
