Not too many 960 threads, guess not a popular card for $200 128-bit performance presumably / 970 stealing the gaming show / or Radeon 285 and 290. But it was a huge upgrade for my htpc from a mini 650Ti. Got the evga 960 sc 4gb mini for $200. It was on sale at Newegg. Wish it had been more like $175 like some of the other larger cards on sale, but it fit the job (small psu / small case). TPU suggests twice as fast on average, but I'm pretty sure the minimum framerate increase is better than that. The 650Ti would chug really hard sometimes even on low settings, whereas the 960 is smoother on better settings (blah TF2). It almost didn't fit -- I didn't realize the 960 mini is approx 1" longer than the 650Ti mini. Curiously, evga only lists a 2gb mini model now, at the same price ...
