![]() ![]() The reference products are set at an offset threshold of 80 degrees C, with a product of this cooling caliber, the numbers will be much lower. Performance wise the product will sit in-between a GeForce GTX 760 and a Radeon R9 280 / 7970, and that is still a respectable number. Speaking in general, I think people could have lived with the 128-bit bus if the product would have had 3 GB of graphics memory or the other way around. The 4GB models however might be the savior here. Many of you will not get by the fact that the 128-bit memory bus combined with 2 GB of graphics memory will cripple anything after 1080P. I am afraid though that Nvidia took it a step too far trying to make the product as cheap as possible. The GeForce GTX 960 is a pretty complicated piece of technology in terms of what Nvidia offers to its partners and what they made out of it. And that resolution is where 4GB models come in rather handy. Fact remains that these products perform nicely for the gamers in the 1920x1080P resolution, even at WQHD at 2560x1440, we have not been disappointed. We really like the 4 GB models, even if the effect it'll have at 1080P (game resolution of choice for this card) of course remains a little trivial. ![]() The card also has a raised power limiter, and as such we noticed it boosting on the dynamic clock frequency over 1400 MHz. The product comes factory tweaked at a boost frequency of over 1300 MHz which is impressive all by itself really. Where the reference cards operate at 70 to 80 degrees C you'll notice that this puppy shaves off up-to 25 degrees C on average under full load gaming conditions, roughly 56 degrees C is what we measured whilst being whisper silent. We absolutely like the G1 Gaming series from Gigabyte, the cards look great, perform nice thanks to the factory overclock and cooling with the WindForce coolers simply is sound. ![]()
