GeForce GTX 960 vs GeForce GTX 760: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 960 vs GeForce GTX 760
The GeForce GTX 960 is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the GeForce GTX 760. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 960 currently lists from $5,250 SEK, $2,163 SEK less than the GeForce GTX 760 at $7,414 SEK. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 960 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 112%. The GeForce GTX 960 still sits about $5,051 SEK above its $199 SEK MSRP. The GeForce GTX 760 still sits about $7,195 SEK above its $219 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 120W against 170W, the GeForce GTX 960 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Maxwell architecture on a TSMC 28nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce GTX 760's memory is faster — 192 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GTX 960 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 760 (Maxwell vs Kepler), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 760 or GeForce GTX 960?
The GeForce GTX 960 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 760 if you find it at a steep discount.
