May 10, 2015 44 0 4,530 Hello im looking to get a gtx 960. I currently have an AMD Radeon HD7870 2gb but im trying to play this game called Project cars and its lags like crap. I get as low as 15 fps even just on low and medium settings. So would a gtx 960 (2gb) be a good upgrade from an Radeon HD7870 (2gb) Sort by date Sort by votes Gam3r01

Jan 12, 2013 25,412 973 115,440 That is an 18% performance increase, not what I would consider an upgrade. Look into at least a 970 class card. Upvote 0 Downvote O

May 10, 2015 44 0 4,530 yeah i thought about that but it seems I'd be looking at $500 in my country, whereas the 960 is right on my budget and apparently amd has optimization problems with the game i want to play so thats why im thinking of getting the gtx 960 as an upgrade.

Jan 12, 2013 25,412 973 115,440 What is your country of purchase? Something like a 280x, 290, 290x should be cheaper, and still be a sizable upgrade. If you want to check prices look at a 770. It is a good bit more powerful than the 960, and it still may be cheaper than a 970 in your country. Upvote 0 Downvote renz496

May 8, 2015 34 0 4,560 With $500 budget you can get GTX 970 I thought. I dont know how many percent it would increase the performance but, still it would be better than your old GPU. Its just $335 http://allcomputerhardware.tk/vga/evga-geforce-gtx-970-ssc-acx-2-0-4gb-gddr5-256bit-dvi-i-dvi-d-hdmi-dp-sli-ready-graphics-card-04g-p4-3975-kr/ Upvote 0 Downvote userDevilsCanyon
