Would it be worth giving a GTX 960 with warranty+100 euros for a GTX 780 with warranty

If you look at the overall FPS increase across all the games, it's a pretty big difference, which isn't surprising since the 970 is the real successor to the 780, same as the 980 to 780Ti. And you're forgetting DSR ( http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dsr/supported-gpus) which would allow for the 780 to stretch its legs further as seen here with a 14 FPS lead (52 to 38) in FO4 http://kotaku.com/fallout-4-pc-benchmarks-post-apocalyptic-performance-1742582894

And 19FPS lead in Mad Max here @1440p (58 to 39) http://www.techspot.com/review/1060-metal-gear-solid-phantom-pain-benchmarks/page3.html

And in The Division where even the 770 2GB pulls ahead on high @1600p and the 780 is 7 frames ahead of the 960 with 36 vs 29...

I wouldn't bother. The 900 series are quite a bit faster than the 700 series. So the result is the 780 is only a tab faster than a 960 giving often just 4-5fps more at 1080p. You would be better off using the money to get a second 960 for crossfire and get quite a big boost. That would give you the performance to hold off for a year until AMD Vega and NVidia Pascal has their gaming cards released.

I checked some better benchmarks from anadtech. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU15/1248

The 780 seems to be faster. I even checked some benchmarks of 960SLI vs 780 and the 780 often wins at 1080p. The 960SLi wins sometimes. It depends on the game and how effect it is with SLI.

I'll echo the previous statement. Lateral move and loosing money. I'd hold off. The 960 can still game at 1080p for now until Pascal or Vega is released.

You mean like here where a stock GTX 780 beats an EVGA GTX 960 SSC @1080p in 7/8 games, where GTA V on very high quality is a horrible 24FPS on the 960 while it's 48FPS on the 780 @1080p? http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1654?vs=1493

780 is a better card, this isn't a 780Ti/980 situation.

Based on that chart only GTA V and Shadow of Mordor would need the 780 to be playable. To me that's not worth an extra 100 bucks. But if he plays those games then by all means spend the cash and upgrade.

And Dark Souls 3, 39 vs 28 @1440p http://www.techspot.com/review/1162-dark-souls-3-benchmarks/page3.html

GTX 960 is not close in terms of performance in the GPU world to a 780, often it is showing in competition with a GTX 770.
