Currently running a Radeon HD 6870. AMD's been OK even using Linux full time these days, but the AMD drivers for this older card have an issue with Bioshock Infinite on Linux (many compressed textures won't load, NPCs are all hairless flesh-colored clay dolls, etc.).
Not looking to drop a lot of money on a flagship card at this point (probably build a completely new machine in a couple years), so was looking at a GTX 960. Is that a reasonable pairing with an Intel Q9550 (Core2 Quad 2.83 GHz)? Or would that card likely always be bottlenecked by the CPU, and I should save some money by going with an older NVIDIA card?
