How well does the gtx 960m work? can it push modern games okay? if not, what can?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I have a friend with a 950m, and it does an eh job.  He plays lighter games, so it handles FPS's like CS:GO and COD just fine around 60 fps at medium to high @ 1080.  However, it gets destroyed by more demanding games, especially at higher settings.  Stepping up to a 970m would not be a bad choice if you need something mobile (like I do, actually.  I can personally vouch for the viability of a 970m if you are willing to shell out the extra money over a 960m, or 950m).

960m is about as good as the desktop 950 (stock clocks) - Witcher 3 30-40 fps on low will be doable (a friend with an 860m Maxwell-based does it) but don't expect actual 960 levels of performance
