That's BS. Cards from one series are equally good or bad at computing. The 960 does fine in its hardware limits.
@pedroarg: You also have to consider the higher clockrates of the 1050. It still will be slower than a 960. The difference between 5.2 and 6.1 is not relevant.
A 1050 does ~5K in MD5, a 960 will do >6K.
The 1050 benchmark is here. You can find an old benchmark of the 960 here, although that's with an ancient version of hashcat (1.x) and would be even faster with the new one (4.1).
