What is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960? The second generation of Nvidia's Maxwell hardware arrived with the high-end GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards back in September, but it's taken until now for mainstream parts to arrive. That's where the GTX 960 comes in; it's...
Overall the product is getting our recommended award, obviously I would have liked to see a bit more memory in this price class anno 2015, but perhaps that is wishful thinking. Other than that, we can recommend the for a decent 1080P gaming card at very low noise levels with terrific looks.
Personally I don't think upgrading from a GTX 760 is worth the cost, upgrading from a GTX 660 Ti probably neither. If you have a GTX 660 and some money to spend or are looking for a card to drive your new PC, GTX 960 is definitely an excellent choice. Value oriented buyers should also consider used GTX 680/770/780 class cards which should hit the market soon.
Nvidia's review guide was careful focus on 1080p gaming, and it's easy to see why. At full HD the card performs well, hitting an average of 60 FPS in most games even with detail set to maximum. Only Crysis 3 proved a real challenge, reporting an average...

Overall, while there's much to commend the GTX 960, there's a feeling that there are just one or two compromises too many to make it a must-have product for the more budget-conscious PC gaming enthusiast. It's a good effort capable of some sterling performance, but it could have been so much more.
