Asus has put together an undeniably good product once again. The Geforce GTX 960 STRIX OC is one of the coolest running graphics cards money can buy today, and by extension it's also one of the quietest. The already overclocked GPU and memory perform very...
Abstract: Intro Last month Nvidia introduced the GeForce GTX 960, a new mid-range graphics card that features a level of performance more than sufficient to run all modern games at good quality on Full HD and a remarkably low power consumption. Since then, we've t...
The four tested GeForce GTX 960 maps clearly show that the different manufacturers clearly take a different path. One makes his map as large as possible, while others just prefer a smaller card. Something for everyone.For those who want to overclock a lot...
Abstract: As much as NVIDIA and AMD would like to have the fastest, highest spec graphics card around the number of consumers able to afford luxuries such as that are limited. Its the lower price points where the large groups of consumers sit and as far as gamers g...

Firstly we would like to apologise for the lack of AMD based tests, the reason behind this, as I'm sure everyone can relate too, is general wear and tear. Our R9 285 had to be returned to AMD and our R9 280X wouldn't allow us to boot. When we receive thes...

Gamers awaiting an affordable GeForce graphics card based on the latest Maxwell architecture will have been anticipating a future-proof x60-series part that raises the bar for mid-range performance.If that sounds like you, the GeForce GTX 960, priced ...
ASUS have done a fine job with the GTX 960. It certainly looks the part thanks to the Direct CU II cooler and discreet STRIX theme. The packaging is nothing to write home about but it protects the card well, ensuring it should reach you in perfect conditi...
The ASUS GTX 960 Strix OC Edition did well in our tests, since it comes with a rather decent factory overclock and features a more than appropriately dimensioned DirectCU II Strix dual fan cooler In combination with the cooler, the noise levels produced...
AMD's competing mid-range line-up is confusing to say the least, with the R9 280 3GB, R9 280X 3GB and R9 285 2GB all offering slightly different specs as well as price and performance figures that overlap one another depending on the game tested and the e...

So what traits actually qualifies a graphics card to be in a “sweet spot”? Is it based solely on the price to performance ratio? Is it about efficiency? Is it even about features and design? Well I think for a graphics card to hit the spot properly, i...
