GTX 960 SSC

Hey everyone! I was looking to add an additional 960 to my set up (2Gb model) for sli and the only ones I can find are severely over priced! I'm seeing them go for as much as $400 usd! Do I have a rare card or something? I bought it after the 10 series came out simply because I couldn't afford a 1070 and the 1060 wasn't out yet. So can someone enlighten me in why my video card is so expensive now? I paid $199.99 for it on Amazon. 

Edit

To add, I have a i5 2500k with a Z77 extreme 4 motherboard and 16gb of ram. I feel that if I jump up to a 1060 or 1070 it will be bottlenecked by the cpu. What about a 1050 ti?

I think it's because it's out of stock, and no one sells is because of no sense for it. (even 1050 costs 100$, but in perfomance it's only 0-10% worse.)

You can buy 2 New gtx 1050s, have nearly the same perfomance, and still have old GTX 960 which you can sell for 50-100$ maybe.
Or first sell your gtx 960 and make gtx 1050ti sili, which will be much better

Sorry for my bad English, I believe you understanded me

It's probably due to bitcoin miners or something. Put yours up for $400 and see if someone bites, then buy yourself a 1070 or VEGA equivalent. :D

Sell it and buy a single better GPU.. 2GB Vram is not enough and the 960 is a slow card.

Because most sellers on Amazon are fucking retarded pieces of monkey shit, selling even GTX 1050Tis for $300+.

All of the games I play are on 1080p medium to high. Always get 60 fps. Mind you it's not a reference card. 

I have a custom built custom BIOS 1050Ti (in sig), and I play everything on Ultra, even at 4320x900 (native, no bezel correction). I bought it (non-custom) in May for $160 before the miner craze hit and fucked the market over.

 

Prices on new 1050Tis are not going to go down.

You dont need to get another 960 SSC. Any 960 2GB will work. If I were you I will just sell the 960 and look for a 980. They start at around $250.

Found a 1050 ti for under 200 on amazon? Would this be considered an upgrade? I know it's got double the Vram but gpuboss states the 960 is better.

1050ti is an upgrade performance wise from a 960, but not a worthy one.
