Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 960 vs Geforce GTX 760
IntroThe GeForce GTX 960 makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1127 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the Geforce GTX 760, which has a clock frequency of 980 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1502 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 1152 SPUs, 96 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Geforce GTX 760, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 960 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 760 is a lot (more or less 30%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 960. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 960 should be a bit (more or less 15%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 760, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

I was going to do some light upgrade, but now I see 960 is pure crap.
Need to get expensive 970 🙁
a 760 is not better than a 960. Do you honestly think they will release a slower card? I own a 960 and yes it does beat a 760. They are using different architecture and thus most of these stats dont mean anything. (especially the 128bit bus. It's different technology than a 760 and I can assure you it will beat a 760 no problem.
The 960 is a good mid range card even with the 2gb memory limit. It is made to run games at 1080p.
Do not compare stats here.. but rather check benchmarks.
The 960 is also not intended to be an option when upgrading from say a 660 or faster. But if you own a 650 or slower than a 960 may be the card for you.

The 760 is a beast, stats beat the 960 but no doubt it's that much better than the 760. The 960 is 128 bit card and to pay that much for that is a complete waste of money. The new gen cards are overpriced as fuk. The bandwidth of the 760 is much better and if you're looking for an excellent value for money card 760 is the way to go. You'll notice bandwidth when running demanding games at high resolution.
I own a 760 SC and would never replace it with a 960 - no way! I'm considering a 1060 ti or superclock or perhaps the next GPU after that. My 760 superclock has been a superb GPU
