Marketing can't carry you for a decade in technology, if your product fundamentally sucks, people will eventually stop buying it. And yet for more than 10 years, Nvidia has nearly always held (sometimes significantly) higher market share than AMD. 10 years isn't caused by marketing and people need to stop pretending that it is.
    Everything in my post is true, you don't really provide a solid arguement, you just write random stuff. AMD and Nvidia have both been pretty even when it comes to graphics cards, so yes, Nvidia has not been trashing AMD. More objectively you can simply sample reviews and see for yourself. As an enthusiast myself I want to buy what provides the best performance. When it comes to CPUs, Intel wins hands down. But that's really not the case with GPUs, and the fact that you say otherwise is odd as it is simply untrue. Apple's been outselling. Several Android manufacturers for years, does that make iPhones better? Definitely not.

    You are so wrong, it pains me.

    The 960 is not worth getting because of the 2GB memory limitation. 2GB is the bare minimum as of right now for 1080p gaming. If you want a card that'll last you for a while, then you need to get the 4GB version which costs more. Then you might as well get he 280X which is significantly faster and overclocks well.

    Still remember when Nvidia 5xx users had to turn down settings in BF3 because they were maxing out on memory usage. Atm, you'd want more than 2GB if you're playing BF4/Hardline. Also those games support mantle which offers a significant performance boost for AMD cards.

    Watchdogs, although it was poorly optimized for PC, also used more than 2GB. It's better to buy a card with more memory if play anything other than FFXIV. Unless you want to run into the chance of not being able to run high-res textures in the future. Also let's not forget Nvidia screwing customers with the GTX 970.
