It's a pretty damn good trade if there's no or little money involved. The GTX 960 will do GTA V at 1080p more than fine.

Ok so apparently my Asus HD7850-3gb is fried (artifacts and stuff) and also BSOD. Link here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/378579-bsod/

 

So my card is still under warranty and i can get it changed but, the guys at the shop wants to exchange it for a GTX960.

 

You guys think its a good trade? (would like to play GTA V decently)

That's a bit of an upgrade. Ask if he has an R9 280 or 280x though so you don't have to take a VRAM hit. If he doesn't, then take the 960

2GB VRAM is still enough.

yea I'm worried about that VRAM hit though

2gb is still fine for that tier of GPU performance, but 3gb is better :)
