I was first cosidering getting the evga SSC ACX 2.0 GTX 950, but every time i've mentioned it to anyone, or searched for feedback everyone always says get the 960 instead.. I'm gaming at 1600x900 so is it REALLY worth the extra 40$? The 950 i'm planning on already has a slight OC
 
Solution
If you're playing at 1600x900, its not worth the extra $40. The 750Ti was good enough for gaming at high settings at a 900p resolution, so the 950 will also do just fine.
As an approximation, Cost of GTX960/cost of GTX950 is how much better the GTX960 is.

Snide comment aside, they are reasonably close.
Worth is something only YOU can determine.

My take is that if you have the budget, buy the stronger card. If you do not, you will forever wonder if you made a mistake.
