I've had the 750 ti for about a year now, it has done me well but I wanted to upgrade. So I bought the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133626, (Gtx 960), there was no difference. I don't know what's wrong. The cd won't read on my disk drive. There is literally no difference between my gtx 960 and gtx 750 ti. I have the 6 pin power plugged in. Help? I would appreciate it!

Can you quantify or elaborate on exactly what "there is literally no difference" means? Are you stating that you get exactly the same benchmarks in games or something? Have you not ran benchmarks and you're just seeing same framerates in your favorite games?

There is no reason to use the included CD, you might as well throw it away. Get the latest drivers off nVidia's website which is what you should ALWAYS do. There is no reason to load an outdated driver from the CD that comes with a product. Sometimes included apps are a different story as licensing terms prevent them from offering the software as a website download, but you don't need any extra software for a video card unless you want to overclock it, then there are many 3rd party apps to do that.

Anyway I am too lazy to look up benchmarks and you can do that yourself, but there are a couple of ways the 960 should clearly be better than the 750 TI, that it's maybe 50% faster, and that it supports HDMI2 for 60Hz refresh to a 4K monitor. This second factor makes it a great budget video card for 4K res, though a GTX950 is an even better value for that if the user isn't gaming.

I'm very sorry about being so vague about it. What I really meant is that PNY GTX 960 had a terrible performance against my 750 Ti (mainly for it's price). It felt weaker and slower. The material the video card was made of, felt weak and flimsy. It didn't feel right. I was asking if anyone has ever owned the same video card and found satisfactory from it. I wanted a upgrade and I thought I found it but honestly didn't feel like it. It acted odd and short for it's pricing. I am just getting the sense that PNY is probably not the best manufacturers and I should probably stick to EVGA, MSI, or some other good stuff. I should have done my research considering there were about no reviews about the card online. I just felt lucky about it. But for some reason, it seemed to not keep up with other manufactures' 960s.
