I am in a similar situation with a 1gb radeon 5850. I read something last night that said there may be 4gb versions coming out at the start of March. I don't know how much salt we need to take with that though. I can't find any info about the ti version at all. Not sure I can wait much longer to be honest!

4GB would be absolutely pointless on this card with 128 bit interface, as it has nowhere near the GPU power to play games where 4GB comes into use such as heavy textures or high resolutions. So you'd just be wasting your money

Am i the only one who thinks the base model of the 960 is a little overpriced? I was considering either the 960 or waiting for the ti version.
I'm currently on a 1gb msi 560ti, so it would be a big improvement.
But I have to admit I am a little put off by how much it costs for the performance you get.

Yeah its awful value for a crippled card.

Will the MSI GTX 960 fit in a Corsair Obsidian 350D with the side panel closed?

Totally, as I said in another thread they are about 30/40 quid too expensive. Especially when you consider a decent 960 is £190.... now buy two of those.... and for £20 more you could have had a 980!

Check both Corsair's website for your case and the max VGA length and then check MSI's website for the dimensions of the card.....

All depends which 980 you use to compare with, I use the EVGA SC 980 for example.

What I am looking forward to is how a pair of 960s get on going up against one of my 980s.

Had email from OCUK 960gtxx NEXT-GEN gaming. Someone got sarcastic sense of humor with those cards. Maybe next-gen gaming is that you can only play on detail setting from next gen consoles and thats if you are lucky

Got some 980s, Titans or 690s laying around for that.

Your card was one but top of the range at the time. The equivalent today would be the R9 290 or the GTX970.

Or 2 960s - £80 you could have had a 970 which is probably much better off when you think it performs about twice as good as one of these without scaling for 50% more money.

These should be £140 max IMO like the r9 270 but let's face it NVIDIA will sell but loads even at this price so why lower it?

My life does not revolve around having the biggest fastest cards like some of the guys on the forum.

I am a GTX 960 owner and proud of it.

I was only having a laugh mate. Somebody has to test these duffers out and i can't think of a better man for the job.
