i have a 960 and run gta v at 60fps @ultra
so im sure a 970 could do even better assuming your cpu is good

960 is all anyone ever loving needs.

People telling me to run out and get a 980. I would have to buy a 150+ dollar power supply.

Except you can't get full speed 4GB VRAM with a 960.

But I have a 960 4GB card?

What are you talking about?

I have a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 4GB WINDFORCE 2X OC EDITION.

Bold
The bus width of the card doesn't allow for good VRAM speed

Well, my cpu is an AMD FX 6300. I looked up a few things and I've heard it bottlenecks a 970. Should I just get a 970 and upgrade my cpu to something like the AMD 8350 instead?
No it doesnt
Bottleneck is a stuffty word and the only time your getting it is if you pair 2006 tech with 2016 tech.

Whoever said that is an idiot

No it can't.

Now, my only question I think I have left is will my cpu be better off with a 970, 980, or 980ti?
