    You mean i7 4790k or the i5 4690k? Either way a nice bump in processing capability.

    Actually it's the i5 4690K. Still, after installing the 960 card, my frame rate in Dying Light is very smooth with my current setup. Anyone know of a way to check for the fps? I wish the game has a build in benchmark program by itself.

    If you have Geforce Experience installed, then in Preferences tab click on ShadowPlay and enable FPS counter.

    Hello guys

    I posted my review of this card on my website. Even though the text is in Spanish, it includes several benchmarks and gameplay videos.

    LINK REMOVED DUE TO EXCESSIVE "PROMOTION" OF YOUR WEBSITE.

    Cheers

    Just tested Red Faction Armageddon.
    Everything on high, with 8XMSAA.
    Dips to 50 , mostly stays on 60 fps.

    Metro 2033, High settings, with DX11.
    Over 80fps when calm, 40 in combat during prologue.

    I like my 960

    Holy s that video is funny.

    I have the stubby 960 EVGA 02G-P4-2962-KR in my Elite 110 ITX build, with an i5 4460 and 8GB dual channel DDR3 1600, dual SSDs, B85 chipset.

    MSI Afterburner is set at +100 MHz GPU offset, +500 MHz memory offset, stock voltage. I have the latest drivers.

    GPU-Z control panel shows the EVGA stock OC boost of 1297, my OC boost @1397 and memory @8GHz.

    RivaOSD shows 1555 MHz running Furmark, Farcry3 and Heaven, right in line with most tests. At stock-reset settings, the "1297" clock displays about 1442 MHz. I've run at least 60 minutes so far with OSD showing 1555/8000 MHz, 58 C at 50% fan. My fan is set for 1%/*C starting at 20C. Stock is zero RPM until 60C, but this fan is very quiet from 0-40%.

    Despite TDP being below 95%, and Afterburner set to 110% with Power Priority, I can drop the GPU off 1555MHz with a conservative a fan profile. My method was very empirical, based on watching the OSD under load. It seems getting the fan to 50% by 50*C will prevent any unexplained throttling.

    $199 is too high by but I payed it anyway.This would / will slay at $149, with a price drop here and a rebate there.

    Well guys I need help here. I moved from GTX 260 to this card. Almost everything is running fine, damn FarCry 4 with Ultra setting and no issues, same for DA:I . Problem begins when I'm trying to play TERA Online . No matter what setting I use PC will crash at some point. Crashes are not related to stress for obvious reason , sometimes it dies even on character selection screen. No BSOD, no nothing , just puff and reboot.

    About 6 years. I'd suspect it in first place but hell, I can run OCCT burn test and not crash while simple character loading crashes it sometimes. And correct me if I am wrong but I think that GTX 260 was using more power than this little thing.

    Running on a 750 Ti, Tera does occasionally exit on its own but it doesn't take my whole PC with it (runnning 8.1) . It's not frequent but it is one of the less stable games I have.

    Have you tried putting the 260 back in and see if the issues go away? I agree if you had a 260 before, the 960 would draw less power.

    AF doesn't make a dent in GPU usage, you can set that to 16X in almost every case. It's the AA that'll make your card weep.

    The 960 is not bad at all in terms of performance until you take into consideration the price relative to how it does to these days games. Prices are outrageous these days relative to what the cards can do and relative to what their predecessors cost. It's not like there was some giant shift in the market that forced them to have such higher prices. It's all artificial. It should be $150 tops, but with prices being as artificial as they are we shouldn't be surprised.

    They don't come cheaper than $240 here and that's a "sale". What a joke, the $250 price range should be what a mid-high range card costs. IIRC the GTX 280 cost me $300, their highest end card was $300, the HD 6970 cost me $330, now the equivalent is $700.

    Well Gigabyte ITX version is around 180$ here and its pretty reasonable deal. Asus and MSI are overpriced with their fancy cooling which is overkill for this card.

    It seems enabling low performance dimming in Tera stopped it from killing my PC so I guess its a killer combo where poorly optimized game met poorly written driver.

    It's overclocked to 3.01 Ghz and holds up.
    I'm waiting for win10, then I'll get a new mobo and cpu.
    Don't be surprised, my Q6600 can still perform.

    My problems are solved like a miracle with the iCafe driver. No more mysterious reboots.

    Tested AVP DX 11, everything maxed out, AA and AF each 2 samples, 60fps without hitch.
    Asetto Corsa, everything maxed out, smooth, no post processing.
    Burnout Paradise, everything maxed out, with SSAO.
