GTX 960 Review Roundup

[BonSie]

Think it's best to put the 960 reviews in a single topic instead of spamming the section with it.
 
If seen some of the reviews and it's a definite improvement in performance over the 760, but the price is too high since it struggles to beat the AMD 280 variants, especially considering there 2 years older.

Tell me if you find more

[JoaoPRSousa]

Thank you.

[Humbug]

unfortunately this launch does not help the PC gaming ecosystem.

i.e it does not help gamers with small budgets obtain access to better levels of visual fidelity and performance.

Cards like the 560ti or 7850 did that... which is what you want midrange hardware to do.

TL;DR - Bleh. Keep mentioning your silence and power consumption, but what gamers really want is POWA! It's not that other similar priced GPUs sounds like airplane anyway.

It's also why I still have a 560.

I'll be sticking with my 760 for now.

Does anyone know if MFAA is Maxwell-exlusive? I assume so, but I'm not sure.

What's the point of this card ?
We had the GTX660/660Ti/670/680/770/760 all do the exact same thing.
And the R9-280X is the same price and has 3GB Vram.
And you can get 290s already for 280€.

Gonna save up a few more bucks for the 970

[Yoinkerman]

Here in Canada I can buy a 290 for less than a 960. Going to do exactly that

I'll stick with my 770 for another year or so, unless I can find one for about $150, then I'll SLI.

I have a 660 still and was planning on upgrading to the 960, but on a university student budget (i.e virtually no money) this doesn't seem like a worthy upgrade, does it? Do I go the 280(x?) route or wait and see what happens? My 660 still runs most games at 1080 well. However, I have a 144hz monitor and need a gpu that can get me closer to that framerate. I wish Nvidia would help us midrange guys better

AMD will be releasing their GPU in March/April, might want to wait for those.

And they will probably lower the prices to get rid of their stock.

[Mister Snow]

They are just sticking to this price point because of brand loyalty. Some people will go with this card no mater what AMD has to offer at the same price.

[Yoinkerman]

Ordered the 290 this morning for $289!

960s are $269-309 here.

290 will crush
