580 vs 960

[DrunkDwarf]

Is buying a 580 in 2015 for 1080p light-weight gaming a good idea or should one rather spend 100 bucks more for a 960? The 960 is undeniably superior... But not sure how much.

ive the 960 is 200 bucks, then just get 2x 580s

well i mean for $200 you could probably get a 770 on ebay or a 680 for less

The 960 is ~40% faster while consuming probably less than half the power. You can decide whether it's worth it to you

The 960 is about as powerful as a 680/770.

Sounds fair. In the long run it's probably better for my bills! 

If it's also more silent... I'm sold!
