Only small performance increase over previous generations
The MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2 is a very good example of what can be done with the rather mediocre stock GTX 960; and quite frankly is a very good card in its own right.4.3Your RatingUser Rating: 4.7 (1 votes)MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G – IntroductionMSI GTX 960 Gami...

As I mentioned earlier I have been extremely happy with MSI cards in the past, specifically with their Twin Frozr cooler. With the new design I was excited to see what they had improved on. For starters, the new design has a great looking fan shroud tha...
