Comparable frame rate performance to an overclocked R9 285.
With Nvidia finally expanding their Maxwell product line into the more budget friendly cards like the GTX 960 I was excited to see if it would be as power efficient as the GTX 980 and GTX 970. No big surprises here, the GTX 960 Strix was fast in all of ...

With the GTX 960, NVIDIA introduces a new player to the mid-range GPU market at a very appealing $199 price point. The new Maxwell GM206 GPU at the heart of the GTX 960 features 1024 CUDA cores, 2048MB of GDDR5 RAM running on a 128-bit interface, and 120W...
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 960 is an easy card to sum up, something I'm thankful for considering I only just received our sample late on Monday (I just have to live in eastern Canada, don't I?). When I evaluated AMD's Radeon R9 285 in September , prior to NV...
Back plate adds rigidity, value, and style, Outstanding performance for such a low price, Features HDMI 2.0 and Display port 1.2 for appropriate 4k support, Low power consumption and temperatures, Features ASUS 0dB technology, 5K display support, 2Way SLI

I think Maxwell has done it again with a completely new chip, build from the ground up to provide enthusiasts with the perfect balance between budget, efficiency, and performance. It is clear that the GeForce GTX 960 is a worthy competitor in the budget s...
All said and done, ASUS is offerring a truly great GeFGorce GTX 960 with the Strix model. It ticks all the right boxes when it comes to factory overclock, aesthetics, noise and temperatures. Realistically though, and I'll write this nit in all our GTX 96...

We tested with similar settings used for all of the cards, but NVIDIA is quick to point out that its new MFAA mode offers image quality similar to 4X MSAA, but with performance more in-line with 2X MSAA. NVIDIA likes MFAA so much, it's enabling it by defa...
There are several factors that make the STRIX GTX 960 an enticing choice for anyone looking to upgrade their graphics performance. Low power consumption, low noise, and a cooler that's capable of keeping the card cool under all operating scenarios are j...

The new member of the Maxwell family is covering the middle segment of the gaming area and it is the direct competitor of AMD's Radeon R9 285. From the tests I've run the 2 cards are offering the same performance at the same price range. GTX 960 is more e...
