I know it is a bias, and truthfully I love nVidia cards, but I wouldn't buy a card with that type of bandwidth limitation knowing Pascal is right around the corner for anything.

Glad you like it.

I'm pretty sure I'll be glad I passed - and I *desperately* need a new setup - have two GTX 460s in SLI.

I just upgraded to a new SSD, it came with a copy of Assassins Creed Syndicate and that brought the GTX 960 to it's knees.

Cue instant buyers remorse and I immediately purchased a GTX 970, and RMA'd the 960.

Needless to say, now I'm bringing Assassins Creed to it's knees! MWHAHAHAHA
