Nvidia has been in the Maxwell era for a few months now , with the Nvidia GTX 970 and GTX 980 currently at the forefront of the technology. However, while their performance is top - notch, they also come at a price, as high-end users are required to dig deep into their pockets to buy them.
Nvidia, following its favorite tactic, does not forget PC gamers who are looking for a more affordable solution , which is why it is launching the most budget-friendly graphics card based on the Maxwell core, as the GTX 960 is essentially a mid-range proposal, which attempts to fill the gap between the high and the middle class . With a price tag of around 200 euros , the GTX 960 is designed to offer twice the performance compared to the previous generation of graphics cards, while greatly reducing energy consumption. As for its tech specs, the GTX 960 has 1,024 CUDA cores with a clock frequency that reaches 1.1GHz under normal conditions and 1.5GHz with boost . According to Nvidia officials, the budget-friendly GTX 960 is estimated to be 1.6 times faster than the GTX 660 and "absorbs" just 120Watts compared to the 140Watts that its predecessor required from the power supply. In fact, early measurements show the GTX 960 can comfortably reach 60fps at a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels , even in newer titles.
Combining performance and low price, the GeForce GTX 960 claims the title of the ultimate "value for money" proposition and we are confident that it will succeed in stealing the hearts of demanding PC gamers, who no longer need to spend a small fortune to enjoy their favorite games completely lag-free.
