I have a computer that is 5 years old.
I upgraded with a new 4ghz skylake processor and 32gigs of ram.
I decided to keep my GTX 480 card because Pascal is around the corner and I didn't want to buy a new card only to replace it in april/may
However the black Friday special on the GTX 960s looks like I could spend 200 bucks for a incremental upgrade to tide me over until pascal comes out.
So here is the question.. Will I see an imporovement? I know it will be less electricity but I have 2 monitors and the max resolution is 1920x1080.
So I wont really be able to increase the resolution but how about all the AA/AF and other graphics settings?
Should I get the GTX 960 to tide me over or just stay with a single GTX 480 because its not worth the cost at this time? Bonus question.. Find a used GTX 480 on ebay and SLI with my original GTX 480?
Thanks for any help. I tried googling stuff but I didn't find much comparing new cards with the 480.. just 7 series stuff
