Abstract: Intro Last month Nvidia introduced the GeForce GTX 960, a new mid-range graphics card that features a level of performance more than sufficient to run all modern games at good quality on Full HD and a remarkably low power consumption. Since then, we've t...
The four tested GeForce GTX 960 maps clearly show that the different manufacturers clearly take a different path. One makes his map as large as possible, while others just prefer a smaller card. Something for everyone.For those who want to overclock a lot...
The ASUS GTX 960 Strix OC Edition did well in our tests, since it comes with a rather decent factory overclock and features a more than appropriately dimensioned DirectCU II Strix dual fan cooler In combination with the cooler, the noise levels produced...
AMD's competing mid-range line-up is confusing to say the least, with the R9 280 3GB, R9 280X 3GB and R9 285 2GB all offering slightly different specs as well as price and performance figures that overlap one another depending on the game tested and the e...
Top of the range cooling solution, Silent operation, when running passively, Amazingly low power consumption, A very short card compared to some of its rivals, Competitive price vs performance ratio,
Poor ‘next generation’ performance, hopefully to be ironed out with new drivers, “If you’re in the market for something that can offer some awesome gaming performance, but you’re on a budget, look no further than the Asus STRIX GeForce GTX 960, “, Asus ST
Firstly we would like to apologise for the lack of AMD based tests, the reason behind this, as I'm sure everyone can relate too, is general wear and tear. Our R9 285 had to be returned to AMD and our R9 280X wouldn't allow us to boot. When we receive thes...
The perfect LAN graphics card, Power consumption is currently untouchable, Great looking design, DirectCU II semipassive cooler, Brilliant price, Tons of “Maxwell” features included
« Overclocking
So what traits actually qualifies a graphics card to be in a “sweet spot”? Is it based solely on the price to performance ratio? Is it about efficiency? Is it even about features and design? Well I think for a graphics card to hit the spot properly, i...
Maxwell architecture is very efficient, Very well built, very quiet under load, silent when idle, low power consumption, overclocks quite well
Comparable frame rate performance to an overclocked R9 285.
Nvidia's mid range GTX960 has been some time coming – almost a year after Maxwell was introduced with the GTX750ti. The GTX960 specifically targets the gaming audience with a budget restriction of £200. For many this is the gaming ‘sweet spot'.Pricing inf...
Abstract: As much as NVIDIA and AMD would like to have the fastest, highest spec graphics card around the number of consumers able to afford luxuries such as that are limited. Its the lower price points where the large groups of consumers sit and as far as gamers g...
Well suited to 1080p gaming, Runs very cool and very quiet, Class-leading energy efficiency, Overclocked on core and memory, Can be pushed further, Flexible display outputs
DirectCU II comes at a premium, 2GB frame buffer not future proof, Not much quicker than GTX 760
Gamers awaiting an affordable GeForce graphics card based on the latest Maxwell architecture will have been anticipating a future-proof x60-series part that raises the bar for mid-range performance.If that sounds like you, the GeForce GTX 960, priced ...
ASUS have done a fine job with the GTX 960. It certainly looks the part thanks to the Direct CU II cooler and discreet STRIX theme. The packaging is nothing to write home about but it protects the card well, ensuring it should reach you in perfect conditi...
