they're not.
it's just the same crap perpetrated by the green eyed to make their purchase seem better.
anyone got specs on the 960's
Yes, but how are AMD's drivers?

I've had multiple BSODs in the last couple years with Forcewares, plus TDR issues with multiple driver versions...so, what's the bar for bad, on AMD's side?
I agree. Both are constantly changing, adding features, and tuning for performance across many different hardware and software configurations. They both have issues, major and minor, that some users may experience, over time. Most will have no issues, or only minor ones, but there have been plenty of problems on the Geforce side of the world (GPUs getting damaged due to not throttling correctly, anyone?), they just seem to get ignored a lot more than AMD's problems.I'm sure there are driver issues for both vendors here and there, but it seems people blow the issue WAY out of proportion.
I dunno, I don't really see a whole lot of problems with Nvidia drivers compared to AMDs back when I had my 6870. Though it's probably just bad luck on my end.I agree.

Well I got tired waiting for a 960 and just picked up a 970. GG Nvidia.
I'm on the same boat as you are, just picked up a GTX970 and be done with it. :biggrin:
Don't expect a 960. Next Nvidia graphic cards are scheduled for April and then you are going to see GTX 990, GTX 980 would become the new 770 and the 970 would become the new 760.
There will not be a 960 in the traditional sense.
Imagine the suggestion is the rather saner one that they'll instead push everything down a bit pricewise once big Maxwell arrives.
Doesn't seem super likely given how well they're selling at the current prices of course We'll find out.
Wasn't the 900 series the "big Maxwell" card? Or I'm probably stupid. The latter is likely.
No, the 750Ti was little Maxwell (GM106), both the 970 and 980 are medium (GM204) Maxwell, with the big (GM210) Maxwell chip not slated until next year sometime.
Hm, looks like the 960 will be 256bit afterall, which is a surprise.

Why would they want to release it cheaper? :twisted:Eh, they could just shrink the memory down to 3GB and lower the price a bit. I dunno if there's a game out there right now that needs 3GB (except for the Witcher 3 but that'll be released later)
