The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 cards are here!
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 is powered by the new GM206 GPU. It’s based on the same Maxwell architecture behind the more powerful GTX 980 and GTX 970. However, this new GPU is targeted at the mass market graphics segment. Also, the add-in card partners have more leeway in customizing their offerings and the consumer is spoilt for shopping choices.
ASUS
The ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 960 hails from the Strix graphics cards family, and it boasts of an overclocked clock speed of 1228MHz and a boost clock of 1291MHz. By using the latest version of the ASUS GPUTweak utility, the card can be automatically overclocked further to 1253MHz, with a boost clock speed of 1317MHz. The card features a 5-phase Super Alloy power delivery system that includes SAP CAPs installed at the rear of the GPU for more stable power delivery, especially during overclocking. It is available now for S$369.
Gigabyte
The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 G1 Gaming features the Windforce 3x cooling system with an updated “silent, semi-passive” fan profile. Officially, the GM206 chip has a relatively low TDP of 120W, so as long as its temperature is below a certain threshold. For Gigabyte, it’s, once the card’s operating temperature is below 43 degrees Celsius, the cooling fans will stop to minimise operating noise. The card features a 6-phase power delivery system, and it operates with a base clock of 1241MHz, and a boost clock speed of 1304MHz.
If you aren’t a fan of the oversized Windforce 3x cooling system, there are two more cards; the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 Windforce with its Windforce 2x cooling system, or the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 that measures only 170mm in length.
MSI
The MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2G is rated to operate at 1216MHz and it can be boosted to 1279MHz. Its Twin Frozr V cooling system will keep the card running cool. In order to keep its svelte profile, the card doesn’t have a backplate, unlike the cards from ASUS and Gigabyte.
The MSI GeForce GTX 960 OC Armor 2X sports a white fan shroud with the Armor 2X cooling system. There’s also a commemorative GTX 960 Gaming 100ME to mark the company's achievement of selling over 100 million NVIDIA graphics cards. From its specifications, it appears to be identical to the MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2G, with the exception of its lime green fan shroud.
