** NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 960 NOW AVAILABLE & IN STOCK!! **

think these need to be atleast £20 cheaper considering they are same performance as 2 year old gtx 670/7950 albeit the 7950 has more Vram, also they include no free games which is another downer, if I was to buy one it would have to be the asus strix one but think it needs to be £169, hope Nvidia drop the price! or add some good games.

1600mhz seems great but I reckon thats cherry picked!
 
Not to sidetrack the thread but for people looking to build budget wise, when will we be seeing reductions on the 760 range?

It was from our stock, not sent to me by Gigabyte, so definitely not and it is stock voltage. No idea how these cards will react to voltage as cannot test as such right now.

But seems 1500-1700MHz will be the OC range maybe on cores and around 8000MHz on memory.
 
i will be building a friend a budget gaming PC at the end of next month so i may grab one of these as the GPU budget was about £155 for a AMD 280 so the extra £5 - £10 more may be worth it
 
Is sticking an i7 in a 2gb card @ 1080p a fair test ? i'd love to see what these do on older machines.

And seeing as i'm using a 270x 4gb card @ 1080p is there a point in changing ?
 
If we apply the Tomshardware hierarchy as a guide and assume the 960 sits alongside the 580/670/280/285 then 3 tiers down from that, from which an upgrade means something, suggests the 960 is really for users of cards like 6950/5870/560Ti/470.
