Nvidia 770 vs Nvidia 960

[eXyLe]

Hi all,

I'm in the market to trade up from my trusty old 560ti! 
I am unsure which route to go down, a second hand 770 or a new 960. 

They both are roughly the same price here in Australia and was wondering which option would yield better performance?
I am just upgrading to a 1440p monitor also on my 2500k rig.
Thanks!

770

the 770 will perform better since the 960 is pretty much just a 760

Thanks for the swift help guys! 
I just saw a few contradicting benchmarks but I think they must have been off...

they are extremely close in performance get the cheaper one or the one with more features, have you checked amd offering 280x may be cheaperor 290.glhf

Second hand 770s are dropping dramatically in price. 

 

I recommend them highly over a 960.

770 but you're going to a 1440p monitor...you won't be able to play everything on mid-high if you play at 1440p. 1080p is fine

770 definitely. Performance is around the same but the 960 has a bit of new tech like gameworks and DX12 support Correction: DX11 class GPUs support DX12 as well.

 

Although given a new and a second hand card, I'd choose the new card. Totally my opinion of course.

960 is a totally different architecture from 760.

960 is a totally different architecture from 760.

 

yet, it struggles to out perform it. The only way in which the 960 shines is when nvidia sabotages the 7 series drivers, as they did with the gtx 780 (outperformed by a 960...)

960 for MFAA. Any game that supports MFAA basically gets 2xMSAA for free. 

[EcoBoost]

960 performance is between the 760 and 760 Ti (if you've never heard of it, it's because it's OEM only, and a direct rebrand of the 670)

 

So 770 is better.

Thanks for the help everyone but for like 20 bucks more I got a 780 Instead

Anyway, 780 for AUD20 extra is a really good deal.
