MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming OC review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/22/2015 03:47 PM [ 18 comment(s) ]

We review the MSI GeForce GTX Gaming OC, the card comes with a newly revised TwiNFrozr model cooler. And that makes it silent and deadly as you will not hear this product. The GTX 960 is introduced in the mainstream space, aiming to be the affordable 1080P alternative. The card has 2 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and comes factory overclocked for you. Let's check it out shall we?

Not impressed in the least. The card is castrated to the point that it can't even maintain 60fps average at the tested settings in most games. While I realize that most of the people that buy these cards will be running more realistic settings (even I don't try to run games at max settings unless forced to), some of these games are old enough that a mid-range card should be able to run at max settings at 1920x1200 and maintain 60fps average.

It is funny, though, that 400 $ 960 SLI is almost as fast as a single 550 $ 980.

960 Ti SLI will be faster and cheaper than the 980, but more power hungry, and louder.

Something I noticed is that EVERY review leaves off the R9 280 on the performance chart (but still includes 280x, 285, 7950, ect). Are you guys copying eachother's homework or was it a payoff?

Yes, GTX960 SLI is faster and cheaper than a single GTX980. The same was the case with the GTX660 SLI and GTX680. You'll still get a better overall experience with a single GTX980.

7950BE and R9 280 are close enough in performance that it doesn't really matter.

Needless to say, I'm glad I got my 970 instead of waiting. 960 wouldnt cut it at QHD.
