Exactly how much more powerful is this than an gtx 960, and also does this compare to the 10 series cards?

BradTrevAdditionally, would my i5 4460 bottleneck this card?

BradTrevIt's much more powerful, but for the price I would go for a GTX 1070 on sale. It's nearly 150% the performance of a 980ti at 1080p resolutions while gaming, but yes you would want to get an upgrade on that CPU, it will bottleneck the 980ti for a decent amount.

blackopscrazy0In the real world (synthetic benchmarks asside), the 1070 is almost identical in performance to the 980ti, especially above 1080p.

PigmonkeYIf this guy is running a GTX 960 I'd hardly expect him to be running anything higher than a 1080p setup. Be realistic please.

blackopscrazy0I am being realistic. the cards are almost identical in performance. I'm not saying that he should buy one, i'm just stating a fact.

BradTrevIt is similar to the GTX 1070 and much more powerful than the GTX 960.

BradTrevA very large amount more powerful, and CPU bottlenecks depend on what you plan to play/do with this graphics card. Most high end games at highest quality would still be GPU bound with an i5 4460, but some CPU intensive games would get bottlenecked by the i5. If you tell me what games I could give my opinion :)

blackopscrazy0Hey now, it's 1080p, yes, but it's ultrawide. So it is doing a bit more work (albeit with a decent overclock).

J-e-cCool :) Yeah, my gaming is all over the place, a lot of easy-running titles like CS:GO and overwatch. Looking through my library though, the most intensive ones look to be: GTA V, Rainbow 6 Siege, Sniper Elite III (haven't gotten four yet, waiting for a sale), and Battlefield 4. Thoughts?

BradTrevsniper elite 4 was on sale on steam a few days ago... :-( maybe you missed it... -25%

swatdoggyHaha, I did see it. Given the short campaign I usually wait until a game like that hits 30 or under. Thank you though.

BradTrevI'd say everything there except maybe Battlefield 4 and GTA V would be GPU bound with a 980 ti and i5 :) Not sure about Sniper Elite III tbh... Good luck :)
