so should i buy GTX 960 now or wait for next gen GPUs? or older cards that have dropped min price now?

I'm planing to buy a GTX 960 2gb Strix edition, will it be enough for GTA V on high-ultra on 900p? 2GB of VRAM enough for that?

also will i be able to run newer games at 60FPS for about a year or two? not on maxed settings just "not ugly" settings. or should i buy older cards that have dropped in price now?

or wait for next gen of nVidia cards? 1000 series or whatever they end up calling it..?

A GTX 960 will play GTA V very well at 900p. The decision you are making is a tough one. I would either get a powerful 960, or maybe even a 4gb 960, or get a older card for now, and upgrade to a pascal gpu when they are released in the spring. If you choose the less powerful now, and upgrade next year option, keep the GTX 750 Ti in mind. You can get one of those for around 120-140 bucks. You could also just settle with a powerful old card, like a GTX 770 or maybe even a 780 for a reasonable price. Good luck choosing!
