GTX 760 Upgrade to what 900 series?

I'm still happy with my 760. I was really impressed with the optimization of MGSV as it looks great and I can hold a solid 1080p60 on it. Not too happy to hear that GTA 5 doesn't work too well (I was waiting for a good sale to buy it), but I don't mind lowering fps below 60 if I need to. Shadow of Mordor was surprisingly smooth at 45 fps and my settings were quite high.

 

I am looking at a GPU as my next upgrade for sure but I think I'll try and wait for pascal and I personally want to move to the next tier. So instead of "1060", I would buy the "1070". I doubt they'll stick to that naming convention but you get the idea. I did consider the 970 for a while, but the price has remained stubbornly high for it so if I'm going to pay $450 (canadian) I might as well spend it on the newest generation cards. I'm quite disappointed with the 960 actually, I have seen a few (poorly optimized games) that actually had higher benchmarks on the 760 than the 960 because they rely heavily on 760's memory bandwidth. I just don't feel that the 960 was ever as powerful as it should have been. The 760 rocked 1080p in it's own generation.  

 

I wasn't intending to turn ya away from buying GTA V. It is very very fun, it just begins to studder after a while for me, and it may have been optimized, haven't played it in a bit.

You could shoot for a 380 instead. 

I would really like to stick with nvidia if possible.

Nvidia is just what I have always used. Never branched out and tried any amd cards.

760 is still a decent GPU, and its not worth to spent ur money for something like gtx 960, 970, 980 or r9 290, 390 just yet.

I would still use the 760 because it still can handle pretty much every game at the moment, unless you wanna do very high settings at more than 1080
