Actually it is bad to use the CPUBoss and the GPUBoss websites. They are pretty bad and have pretty wierd comparisons. It is better to use Futuremark's webpage if you want to compare performance since you just need a quick google search to see the specs. You can check most of GPUs here: http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu?_ga=1.88951003.1324000984.1432221226

Also you can see that the 960 is below the 285 and 280x. I would only buy a 960 if I were to make a compact build since that card is small, quiet, cool and does not need a lot of energy. Buying it with a beefy cooling solution is overkill.

That is a load of bull. Looking at futuremark(3DMark) is the worst thing you can do. Benchmarks are not games and AMD has proven more than enough that their raw specs can't hold up in a lot of games despite being more powerful on paper.

In this case OP has a clear goal of which game he likes to play so the only thing he should look at are game benchmarks. And in his scenario(GTAV without AA) the 960 edges out the 280 and even the 285 slightly.

In my experience in PC building this benchmark is a pretty good STARTING point to see GPU performance and also the only one that can give a somewhat accurate representation. I aggree about your view about benchmarks but Firestrike is the most realistic one and it is not stupid as the Passmark or Ungine Valley (which only useful purpose is to check the thermal capabilities of a card). Still there are lots of videos on youtube that compare this two cards. I am sharing one that I think the OP will find useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lklKB5vA0KE

I still think the 960 is not a good card because of the 2GB RAM it posesses and also the little bus it has. I would save more for the 280x (which cost is not really that far). If he had the money he should go to a 290x or 970, or maybe he just should wait for the AMD cards xD.
