My Graphics Card Upgrade

Hi, i am new to this forum, so if this topic is not in the right place, please let me know where it belongs.

 

So fairly recently i have began to realise that my graphics card(Gigabyte GTX 960 2gb) is not exactly powerful enough for my liking, so i have been looking at some graphics cards that potentially could be considered a decent upgrade, and i have discovered the GTX Titan X, and i began asking myself, is the Titan X, really considered an upgrade or just a waste of money, i do want to play ALL my games at their highest quality at the highest framerate possible.

 

If the GTX Titan X, is a good and decent upgrade can you tell me what company is best(Gigabyte, EVGA, NVIDIA, ETC)

 

I wont note all my games so here is a link to my steam

http://steamcommunity.com/id/IDGam3r/games/?tab=all

i also have a few non steam games, which are

ATV Quad Kings

ATV Fury

The Godfather

Monaco Grand Prix: Racing Simulation 2

Klingon Honour Guard

Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit

Star Trek Bridge Commander

Star Trek Away Team

Racing Simulation 3

Formula Challenge

Chessmaster 10th Edition

Star Trek Armada

Star Trek Armada 2

Star Trek Elite Force(And it's expansion pack)

A gtx980ti is considered to be the goto upgrade for people who don't really want to spend the money on a titan x, but want very similar performance in gaming.

And once they release these cards in the market, I'd expect a price drop in the ones out now.

I was looking at a GTX 980 TI, but when i watched this video it made me think "Hmm, the Framerate the Titan X provides is very, very tempting"
