It is the same cost as an 8GB AMD 390. which performs as good at 1080P and better at all higher resolutions. I honestly don't understand why the 390 is so under-appreciated on the market. Me personally this is the exact situation where I would bypass nvidia and run a single AMD card. The 960/970 definitely aren't worth it.
The 970 is worth it, but at this point, I also would probably choose the 390 as the better card.
The 960 is decent for the people that need to keep cost down, and every penny counts, so for them it would also be worth it.
