Pros : Looks cool, silent, solid 1080p performance, low power consumption
Cons : A little lag in the performance while playing high-graphic intensive games
Bottomline : The GTX 960 is designed for 1080p gaming and delivers better performance with its revised Maxwell hardware. With lower power consumption and zero noise, it is so far the viable choice to enjoy all the latest games on this Full HD to WHQD card with a robust performance, however playing high graphic intensive games like Shadow of Mordor may lead to a little lag in the performance.
The GTX 960 is designed for 1080p gaming and delivers better performance while reducing the power consumption. Nvidia rearranged its stream processors to enhance the overall performance of the card. These processors are arranged into blocks called streaming multiprocessors, which are then, crammed inside larger structures called Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs). In each GPC, there are four smaller multiprocessors. This enables it to delegate tasks with more precision. This new generation card has double the number of geometry units when compared to last-generation GPUs with its own scheduling hardware. This graphics card comes with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.753 GHz.
Performance
Playing games like Thief, NFS, etc. on it is a pleasure. We found lag in the performance while playing Shadow of Mordor, which is a high graphic intensive game. You can play all the latest games on this Full HD to WHQD card with a robust performance in these resolutions.
We tested the GPU on our test bed (3.0 GHz AMD Athlon II X2 250 CPU on Gigabyte motherboard, 4 DDR3 Kingston RAM, WD 500GB SATA HDD, Phillips LED monitor running on Windows 7 OS), where it delivered awesome performance and scored P5804 on 3D Mark 11, 3655 on PC Mark Creative Accelerated 3.0, and 1431 on Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0. Using the STALKER: Call of Pripyat benchmark, it resulted with max 156.5 and min 24.7 fps scores.
