The GTX 960 Owners Thread

Yes it's definitely not a card for those who always have to be on the bleeding edge every 6 months, it's more of a mainstream card I think, the workhorse of the range.

I don't know, we were right to pan it at launch for it's poor VFM, but at £150-160 with a £40 game it's not bad value at the minute if you game at 1080p and aren't a 144hz performance freak.

Have to agree somewhat, The Witcher 3 makes it a more appealing proposition

As much as I deride this card it keeps winking at me as an interim upgrade for my 5850, as it's the only thing I'd feel comfortable plugging into my PSU which only has two 18a 12v rails. And I'm only playing at 1680x1050.

Then I look at the reviews and see how it's unspectacular even at this low res and I think I'll not bother.

Finally got around to picking mine up from the DPD depot (miles away).

Excellent little card for the money, very impressive thermals and noise and more than enough for 1080p. Will do me for the next 12 months or so I reckon.

Nice one, if I was on 1080P this would be my choice as well. Blinding lil card. Incredible considering how cheap it is. No noise and runs cool to. Weird how underrated these are imho.

I've got a Titan X but honestly this is still prob my fav GPU when you consider cost VS performance VS power use

Hopefully one day a X60 will be good enough for 1440P, so I don't need a bleeding edge card like the Titan X any more !!

Bought myself an EVGA SSC version recently, the £15 cash back and Witcher 3 deal made the card very reasonable in my eyes. Have yet to use it much but for a card to tide me over until DX12 and Freesync etc gets into full swing I am very happy. I read that you can get another 7 percent or so more fps by oc'ing above the factory OC so will give that a go soon.

All you Titan X owners are missing out!

4gb version worth it for 1080p?

Check out the Coolteks. They make one strikingly similar to the Ncase only it costs around £90.

Problem with the Ncase is custom duties. It works out an extra £60.

No, if you are going to spend extra for a 4gb card the GTX 970 is a much better option with a lot more performance.

It's like anything, you get what you pay for.

I'm curious what this card could do in CS:GO if you downsample from 4K. Anyone able to test?
