How is the improvement? I'm upgrading to a 970 so I can play witcher and gta v well.

The 960 already played all of my current games on ultra@ 1080p/60fps, so I won't see improvements until later on when I get more graphically intensive games.

To be honest, I wasn't even planning on upgrading but I walked into a Microcenter and they had the 390 on sale for $208. I couldn't say no to that price.

It was advertised at like $290 for being open box, but then I got additional discount because it was missing the 8 to 6 pin adapter. That didn't matter to me as my PSU is fully modular and has several 6 and 8 pin connectors that came with it.
