judging from the hardware reviews around the net.. the 960 yields better performance than 760 as per www.guru3d.com.  is it worth to stepping up or go straight towards upgrading to 970 or stay with 760 for a while?

    All of the things I have seen show a 1-2 fps increase, so unless you are getting the 960 strictly for the power savings, I wouldn't suggest it.

    Upgrading to a 970 would be a much better choice for sure.

    Unless you're limited to a 430 watt power supply and plan to overclock the 960 it doesn't seem worth it.
