Hi there guys! :3 I've been looking at some new Graphics Cards that I'd *like* to have (as an upgrade from a GT 730), but I'm not sure which is more "bang for my buck."

The GTX 960 costs around $200, and I've seen that it can run many, many games at high graphical settings. I heard, however, that 1 downside could be that the card is only a 2GB. Will this ever pose problems for a typical Gamer (hehehe see what I did there)?

The GTX 970 is another $100-$130 added on to the GTX 960's price. This one is said to run most games (except Crysis 3) on High-Max settings. However, is the extra 2GB needed?

If anyone can help me out on this decision, that'd be great!

Thanks in advance c:

If you have the money, get the GTX970.

Killertoad960 would be fine for every game on the market, at 1080p and high/max settings.

970 would max out everything at 1080p, but it only has 3.5gb of fast vram.

So basically the 960 is the better option?

No. 970 is the best option as long as you don't run multiple monitors.
