So I'm not trying to complain or anything I've had 3 evgas 660tis go bad on me and evga has been nice enough to give me newer, equivalent or better cards. 2 of them because I run them in SLI. So of course I look up the 960ssc acx2 to compare the specifications to my 660ti.... And the 960 seems to come up very short to me at least.

evga 660ti model no. 03G-P4-3663 specs:
1344 cuda cores
1110 or 1124 boost clock
6008 mhz memory clock
192 memory bit width
144 gb/s memory bandwidth
.33ns memory speed
109.8 GT/s texure fill rate

and the 960 model no 04G-P4-3967-KR

1024 CUDA Cores
1279 MHz Base Clock
1342 MHz Boost Clock
81.9GT/s Texture Fill Rate
.28ns memory speed
4096 MB, 128 bit GDDR5
7010 MHz (effective)
112.16 GB/s Memory Bandwidth


Again I'm not complaining I do see some advantages of running these in sli. but the only advantages I can see are it has a higher boost clock, might run cooler and use less power, and it has more GDDR5 and that could be a bit faster. Also I see they say they can run 2160p native? I know they don't do it well but I use DSR to get my 1440p monitor to look like 4k so that may help me too? Are these things enough to say the 960ssc's will be equivalent or better to my 660ti's?

I don't want to seem ungrateful to evga but my 660ti's were awesome cards when they were working and the ones they're sending me don't even use 2 6 pin connectors just one lowly 8 pin how is that a good trade? Or should I just shut up and be happy that I'm getting some newer cards that might actually last me through a warranty period?

AND my pc specs if anyone needs them...
msi z77-45g motherboard
intel 3770K at 3.5ghz atm
evga 850w bronze psu
seagate 1tb hd
cd drive
2x4gb corsair vengeance ram at 1600mhz who knows
lots of fans and lights!
 
Solution
The 960 is about 20% better. This is why we tell people to throw away the spec sheet because it doesn't tell the whole story. In the end the only thing that matters is the performance you get. Gpuboss isn't good either imo. Go look at game benchmarks.
