Okay ill prob do that then

I would not sell my 960 to buy a 1060 though. Seems like a waste to me. Isn't a 960 fine for most 1080p games?

Yeah But I also have around 200$ saved to buy a new card once this one becomes obsolete. I want to buy now because by the time the next gen stuff comes out, the 960 will sell for much less.. I want to lose as least money as possible. 

Your 960 is enough for 1080@60.

Even 1 single GTX 1060 will be better than 2 960.

 

960 --> 1060 was an improvement of around 75-88% more fps (75% when comparing stock. Of course, depending which Test site did the tests, what games etc, it might be 65%, or 85%~.

 

Since Multi-GPU scales with 190% performance at BEST, and usually with 140-180%... yeah.

 

 Sell your 960 and buy a 1060.

I would only consider it if it were the 4gb version and you just happened to find one relatively cheap (>$100).  But even then the 1060 was a pretty big leap from the 960 in terms of price to performance, and it would probably still beat the 2 960s in most cases.  Single newer card is definitely better here.

Sometimes I get builder's itch
