ASUS GTX960 Strix Review

[Pogal_31]

Thank you again for the great review Tom !

As said before, I got my hands on one for my wife, here's some results.

I managed to get a monsta O.C. so easily with it, wanted to keep the voltage at stock, so been pushing notch by notch until 1400 on the core clock, and Geforce experience adds to it 100Mhz, really insane !
I tried to see the limit, well adding power and voltage didn't change anything, at 1410 core clock it crashes

The result is after 30mn with Valley Benchmark, Extreme HD.

My wife is more than happy, got min 10 more fps in her favorite games, without adding noise or heat. By the way.... She told me to give you a big kiss Tom....

Ooooh nice little card! Had completely missed this review

Total rubbish by Nvidia and a bit of a slap in the face for those who were waiting for good entry level Maxwell.

760 is faster and the same price. 280x is about the same price and murders it, and 290 can be had for £215 and will run nearly as fast as two.

Heck, you can get a second hand 670 for £80 now. So £160, for this? sorry, no dice.

Thanks for the review Tom. Things have just changed pretty severely since the launch though.

Good upgrade for people running cards from the 400/500 generation and want good performance and low power draw. I don't think people on a 760, hardly an old card, would seriously be considering getting one anyway. Don't worry about the polar bears Tom, China burns millions of tons of coal everyday.

I'm on a Radeon 5670 (Gtx 260 ish performance) and I am probably going to be upgrading to this card... so hyped!
