MSI Nvidia Gtx 960 Gaming 2 GB PCI-E Graphics Card

Ideal for moderate to high PC gaming, passive fans only run under load making it brilliant if your the type of person that will always leave your computer running but hate the idle noises of graphics card fans ect... When reading this review please bear in mind this is not the only component of my PC and you might not get the same outcome as me if your using a 10 year old processor. my current PC as is follows Intel i7 4790k 16GB DDR3 RAM GTX 960 2GB 1TB WD Caviar Black HDD 120GB Kingston SSD If your a CSGO player and wondering what frame rates you will be looking at with this card I play 1920x1080 or 1440x1080 and get around 300-400 fps even more at times depending on the map with settings turned up high, games like World of Warcraft I do not know the exact rates but they are high and stable and you will not need to worry about messing on with graphics options when playing most titles even new AAA ones as you will be able to just install the game and play. Pros -Amazing Performance and possibly get GPU Price per performance at the moment -Runs quiet and cool, even under load -Simple installation -Comes with DVI-VGA converter for people who need it Neutral -This Card is quite big and bulky but will still fit in a micro atx case but its still not small so its neither a pro or con Cons -There will be cons but I havent noticed them yet, will edit if I find any

Although the unit I purchased turned out defective, I was still able to observe how good this card is during the short time I had used it. Gaming Performance: This card is aimed at 1080p use, and it performs very well. It's 40-50% slower than the GTX 970, but it's half the price and would serve those wishing to play most newly released games on high setting. The limited bandwidth (the amount of data that can flow at any given time) means that this card may not stay the entirety of its intended life cycle. The 2GB VRAM argument also something to consider, however this card will run out of graphical grunt before it saturates above 2GB VRAM in most cases. These are things that must be considered as the GTX 970 may be a better buy with regards to longevity. Noise: This card is extremely silent. At full load, the fans spin at 800rpm, which is virtually silent. Compared with my old R9 270, which ran at 2,200rpm, this feels like a much welcome addition. When idling, the card emits no noise and the fans do not spin. For those seeking absolute silence, look no further than this card. Heat: Heat is a massive issue with graphics cards. My R9 290 used to reach 82c when at full load in my mini itx system. I'm happy to report this card in the same case reached only 63c while providing more graphical horsepower and making less noise. Drawbacks: -Limited bandwidth may hinder future games -2GB Ram may be an issue (although unlikely) - Card is very long -Coil whine may be present Conclusion: This card performs well for the price, but is exceptional in how little noise and heat it emits. If you're looking for the coolest and quiestest card available, look no further than the MSI GTX 960. This is a solid mid-range card and performs better in games than my AMD R9 270. This is not just down to more graphical power, but because of the excellent driver support from Nvidia.

Well! My baby is officially one year old this month. Just to clarify, this is a review for the Gtx 960 2gb model, as reviews appear for multiple cards under this entry. The 960 is not the performance standard for the 900 series. The 970 is widely regarded as the best balance of price and performance, but when I built my PC I could afford only a 960. I was down about this at the time, but I have to say I was wrong. The NVIDIA benchmark for my card is considerably higher than the average I've found online, so I think MSI have done a very good job with a less powerful card. The long and the short of it is: - The card looks extremely pretty in person. - You will play most games on high/ultra settings and achieve 50-60 fps, but you'll have to play new/especially demanding games on marginally lower settings. - DOOM (2016) looks AMAZING with this card and hits 60fps all day. - You won't break the bank. - At this point (July 2016) you may as well wait for the 980 to drop in price or save for a 1080/1070. Overall, I would recommend this card for anyone starting out with PC gaming on a budget, especially if (like me) you've been away from PC gaming for a while and have some older titles to catch up on. Modern classics like Bioshock Infinite (best game ever, btw) or Rome 2 Total War were beyond my reach for a long time and I have had an amazing year playing through many of them on ultra everything with my trusty 960. I'll save for a 1080 when I want to upgrade from this card (Star Citizen, anyone?), but I'm in no rush because MSI have done an outstanding job with this card. They've certainly made me a customer for life.

Bought this to replace the GT 130 in my machine, it has no instructions or the promised conversion plug, but it is not as good as the GT 130, this may be a bit faster but the quality of the graphics is not as good as the GT 130, this card is foggy and pale where as the GT 130 is sharp and bright, I deeply regret buying this and will never buy a Nvidia product again.

This was my first ever gaming graphics card I ever bought a few months ago. Almost settled for the 750 Ti but thought the 960 would last a little longer. I wanted something quiet and low power. I only have a 430W PSU so this was the best I could get without replacing it. It's also very quiet and the fans don't come on that often and when they do, it's relatively quiet. I think the main issue is so called "coil whine" which you tend to hear every so often during games. I connect my PC to my 720p TV so it's not very difficult to get high frame rates in games. I've happily been playing the likes of Assassins Creed Syndicate and Witcher 3 with great frame rates. Obviously, it still holds its own when it comes to playing in 1080p. So why did I opt for the MSI card over other brands? After reading reviews, it did seem to get the best frame rates out of all the brands and it does look great on the outside. A couple of downsides is that that the card is quite long and only just managed to fit in my case so check the dimensions before hand. The card also only comes with 2GB of video memory which is a significant problem in today's games. Some games are perfectly fine when it comes to vram but games like Assassins Creed do need a lot of vram for the high textures. Otherwise, you'll get constant stutters every so often. There are a couple of issues I've had with the card which may not necessarily be its fault. Firstly is I've noticed sometimes, my PC won't display anything on my monitor when it powers up. It's like my PC isn't detecting the graphics card and switches back to the Intel graphics. I have to power it down and wait a few seconds and boot it back up again and hope that it detects it. There's also some weird thing going on with the Nvidia drivers. I've noticed it causing audio freezes every so often when I'm watching videos or playing games. Can't seem to find the cause of the issue but it started when I installed the graphics card.

Faulty on arrival. Caused plenty of problems with a new-build PC. Hopefully just a rare occurrence as I am long-time MSI customer

This card is awesome! The best for your money. It plays every game I throw at it on High settings at over 60fps, including GTA V and Battlefield. I have this paired with an AMD FX-8320 and an MSI 970 Gaming motherboard. It works a treat. It blends in with the red and black theme very well too. The MSI gaming app is awesome. You can turn on Silent mode which will ramp all the fans down and turn off the card's fans. I do not recommend doing this using a stock cooler, it caused mine to overheat and shut off. The app also with options to change the LED on the card, and also add screen filters for movies, gaming and usual.. They also have gaming mode and OC mode. The card is powered by a 6+2 pin connector (8 pin) and comes with a 6 to 8 pin converter. it also comes with a DVI to VGA converter. The card is very quiet, even when the fans hit 100%, it is no louder than my 212 EVO Cooler. Overall, the card is a steal for the money as it does whatever I want it to with ease! I did an unboxing of this card: https://youtu.be/MJE8cWSnQJE and a review video too: https://youtu.be/w66HpMaFbcY

Bought this to go with a i5 4960 and 16gb of 1866hz RAM. This card is terrible! Looks good, but that is as far as it goes, I can just about run Arma 3 on all low settings with AA off at a measly 30fps!! ALL my games stutter. You're seriously better off going with a AMD card for this price range. OR fork out an extra £70 for the 970.

Ich hab die Karte jetzt 2 Wochen drinnen und bin ziemlich überrascht von der Leistung. Hätte mir nicht so viel von der 960er erwartet. Mit einer entsprechenden CPU lassen ihr sich schon einige hübsche Bilder entlocken. Habe mein Skyrim mit 68 mods verändert und sogar dieses läuft ruckelfrei mit durchschnittlich 50 FPS. Die Karte ist für all jene geeignet die: * eine leise Karte wollen * hohe, aber nicht HÖCHSTE Anforderungen an die Grafikleistung stellen * nicht viel ausgeben wollen PRO: + leise + relativ günstig + gute Leistung + VGA/DVI Adapter dabei + Adapter von 6 auf 8 poligen Stromanschluss dabei + hübsche Optik (falls durchsichtiges Case vorhanden) + 120W Verbrauch + OC fähig Kontra: - um wenig mehr bekommt man bereits die um einiges stärkere GTX970 - nur 2Gb Grafikspeicher Fazit: Sehr zu empfehlen wenn's Geld nicht für die 970er reicht

Buena gráfica la 960 y el ensamblador perfecto, nada de ruido muy silenciosa y solo se pone en marcha si le metes caña. La compré a buen precio y tenía la duda con otros ensambladores de la 960 (asus,gigabyte) pero ha sido muy buena elección.

GTX650では新しいゲームほど画質を低く設定しなければならず、最近のゲームはアンチエイリアスのない古いゲームのようなギザギザグラフィックでプレイしていました。 しかしこの製品に交換し、大概どんなゲームも中設定+α程度の画質でプレイできるようになり、非常に満足しています。 私のPCではケースファンの音がそこそこ大きいので高負荷OCでもGPUファンの音はほとんどわかりません。 この値段なら後で追加購入してSLI構成にするのもアリかなと思っています。 見た目もMSIカラーで同社製マザーZ87-G45にも違和感なく装着できました。 ロゴが光るというのは知っていましたが思っていたより明るくて驚きました。 しかしそれも気に入ってます(笑) 全体的に非常に満足いく製品でした。 実際測ってないのでわかりませんが、省電力らしいので760の人も買い換える価値は十分にあると思います。 拙いレビューですが皆様のご参考になれば幸いです。 一応PCの構成を i7-4770k Z87-G45 CFD製DDR3メモリ8GB✕2 剛力短2 700W

Cette carte graphique est nikel pour les configurations moyen de gamme (voir début de haut de gamme).Elle permet au jour d'aujourd'hui de faire tourner tout les jeux en 1080p, la plus par en 60 FPS en élevé (voir ultra). La carte est arrivé intact, très bien emballé, dans le temps,... Avantage (selon moi) : - Performante - silencieuse - très peu gourmande !! (une bonne alimentation de 480W suffit pour alimenter le "monstre) - Chauffe très peu, très silencieuse (les ventilateurs sont très souvent éteins !) - SLI possible - Beau design, par "énormément grosse" (même si...) - Logiciel (GeForce expérience, Shadow Play,...) - Pas mal de connectique, accessoire fourni (DVI vers VGA,...) Malgré tout ces points fort, elle à quelque défaut ! (selon moi) : - Puissante mais chez la concurrence (AMD) on arrive à avoir un peu plus performant pour le même prix ! - même si sa taille reste correct, il faut quand même signaler qu'elle est assez imposante ! - 2 Go GDDR5 "seulement" (contre au moins 4 Go chez AMD pour le même prix) Encore une fois, malgré quelque défaut un peu regrettable, je pense qu'il ne faut pas trop réfléchir pour investir dans cette carte : Vous voulez des performances, facile à configurer sans vous ruiner ? FONCER !! (Si vous avez 30-'à euros de plus, je vous conseille de partir sur la GTX 960 mais avec 4Go GDDR5 pour un peu plus de performance).

Ho visto molte recensioni tecniche di altri acquirenti percio' per i dettagli vi rimando al link del costruttore, basta inserire in un motore di ricerca il nome del costruttore MSI e modello scheda e versione 2gb in quanto non posso inserire link esterni, nel sito potete trovare tutte le specifiche che vi servono. Le mie impressioni dopo un uso di 3 anni SONO "nessun problema... MOLTO AFFIDABILE.." Mi interessava testare l'affidabilità e devo dire che MSI vale i soldi che spendete in piu'. la qualità dei componenti e la costruzioni sono ottimi, condensatori di alta qualità e COMPONENTI MILITARY CLASS come riportano i dati ufficiali. Riporto sotto alcuni dati sulla qualità dei componenti utilizzati, un fattore che ha influenzato la mia scelta su MSI (a parità di modello di scheda) Uno dei fattori determinanti per ottenere le migliori prestazioni, è l'utilizzo di componenti di altissima qualità. Per questo motivo MSI utilizza per le proprie schede grafiche GAMING solo componenti di classe militare certificati MIL-STD-810G, in grado di resistere anche nelle peggiori condizioni. Hi-c CAP è un condensatore davvero piccolo, ma super efficiente. Oltre ad assicurare abbastanza spazio intorno al socket della CPU per il montaggio di ventole dalle grandi dimensioni, fornisce un'efficienza energetica del 93% in più. Grazie agli Hi-c CAP le schede madri MSI sono le migliori schede disponibili sul mercato.SUPER FERRITE CHOKES Super Ferrite Chokes utilizzano il core in Ferrite, il quale è super permeabile. Ciò permette ai Super Ferrite Chokes di eseguire operazioni a temperature inferiori ai 35° Celsius, con il 30% di capacità di corrente in più ed un miglioramento del 20% di efficienza energetica, consentendo maggiore stabilità e miglior overclock. SOLID CAP Con la progettazione del core in alluminio, i Solid CAP sono implementati nelle schede madri di fascia alta ed offrono un minor ESR ( Equivalent Series Resistance) assicurando un ciclo di vita di oltre 10 anni. la scheda ha affiancato un fx 6300 con 8 gb da ram, configurazione datata che pero' permette di giocare con la maggior parte dei giochi di ultima generazione con livelli adeguati di dettaglio, Una cosa che mi ha colpito è la TEMPERATURA ESTREMAMENTE BASSA della scheda anche sotto sforzo ed anche l'estrema silenziosità ed efficacia delle ventole. (mai superati i 55 C) Buono il sofrware di gestione a corredo. Con qualsiasi gioco ho una ottima fluidità e nessun problema, DOPO 3 ANNI nessun problema... MOLTO AFFIDABILE...
