BTW, I play on 1080p and it's very unlikely that I will get a monitor with higher resolution simply because my desk is too small to accommodate anything wider than 23 inches. So, short term, 960 may be sufficient but so is my 660ti, but I'm just trying to sell my old card while it can still be sold for some meaningful amount and future proof my configuration.
Yeah makes sense. I guess I should have sold my 6950 when everyone wanted them for mining but that's pretty much over now.
I doubt I'll be getting a 1440p or 4k monitor either, partly because of the cost of the monitor but also the card to drive it. However, with VR solutions like Rift and Vive on the horizon, I'm reluctant to invest in a new card that may well be inadequate to drive those.
I think the Rift needs to run at 75fps and the Vive at 90fps, so even if they were only 1080p (which isn't really adequate for VR), many games would struggle to maintain those frame rates. Hopefully DX12 will help with that though, for games coded to take advantage of it.
