Is upgrading to a 960 4GB from a 1050 2GB worth it?

Solution
The GTX 960 4GB is a little slower than a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. While a mild upgrade over a GTX 1050 2GB. I could not see it being worth the cost.

The real advantage is the extra VRAM allowing for higher settings.

I suppose if you want to go through the risk and hassle of buying a used one off eBay. Then selling the GTX 1050. You'd be looking at a near even swap. Minus selling fees. I just can't see it being worth the risk. Although buying isn't a big risk. If someone scams you on your sale. You are SOL as eBay/Paypal almost always side with the buyer.

that's should be good. performance wise 290 is about on par with GTX970/1060 3GB.
