Lol of course it will. If each game required a different GPU the gaming industry would be on its arse

If you want my attention, quote my post or I will not see it. I ignore builds that do not use PCPartPicker.

I meant as a minimum, basically if the 8800 is the minimum GPU for a PC, is the 960 the same or better enough to run it?

 

You're looking at it the wrong way. The games aren't specifically made to run on those specific cards.

 

Each card tier has different performance, and the 960 will run anything better than the 8800.

I think your getting confused by the naming scheme.. the 8800 is over 10 years old the 960 is new.. the 960 is WAY better.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

 

Quote or @dzzope to get my attention..

You can't even start comparing the two, as the 8800 GT is so old. What game are you thinking of?

In any case, GTX 960 is very capable.

Thank god for DirectX...

 

Trust me, the 960 takes gt 8800 out to the woods and kills it with a shotgun.
