Do you think if I already own an Evga gtx 960 ssc that it's worth replacing with this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121899

Gamespot's review of the GTX 960.

The smaller 128-bit memory interface equates to 112.2GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. This is actually less bandwidth than the last-generation GTX 760, which featured a 256-bit interface for 192.2GB/s performance. Nvidia claims its third-generation colour compression engine and use of super-fast 7gbps GDDR5 memory will offset the difference, and judging by the performance of the 970 and 980 (which use similar compression technology), that's likely to be the case for 1080p and lower resolutions. It's also worth noting that the 960 has fewer CUDA cores and texture units compared to the 760, this time offset by the card's higher clock speed

I installed this card, last weekend, into a PC I built for my son. He and his cousin immediately took it for a spin by installing some new games they bought. The card will play any current game out on the market.

I have a GTX 770 and it works really well, although had some trouble running far cry 4 with all of the nvidia features like shadow shading etc.
