Asus STRIX Nvidia Gtx 960 1253Mhz (Boost 1317Mhz) 7200Mhz 2Gb Gddr5 128-Bit Dl-Dvi-I Hdmi Dp*3 Pci-E Graphics Card

This was bought to replace the 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6770 and I'm more than happy with the difference in performance. It is fitted to an ASUS P8H61-M LE/USB3 revision 3.0 running BIOS version 4601. The PSU is a CoolerMaster 460w unit that came with my Elite 331 Case. I checked to see if it could take the new card (along with my PC's other components) using their PSU calculator before purchasing. I'd recommend anyone else do the same. In the box you get a case sticker, VGA adaptor, instructions for fitting the card and a driver CD. The card itself in addition to being well wrapped to prevent static comes fitted with plastic covers to protect the PCI-E, SLI connection and DVI-D output. Overall I'm happy to recommend this card for upgrading or building a new system. It is well made, reasonably quiet in operation and power efficient. There is some coil noise but it isn't intrusive when you have sound from the game playing over the speakers.

Fantastic card... It's a dramatic improvement from my old Asus HD 6670 don't get me wrong that would play any game on at least low... This card is so silent even under load and can play just about any game on High/Ultra with a decent FPS. Cheap and reliable card highly recommend it! My specs Amd FX 8120 8 GB 1TB / 64GB SSD 960 GTX 750W Asus M5A99X Evo (Not R2)

Although a great graphics card, it doesn't hold up very well with the brand new AAA titles like Fallout. Yeah sure you can get medium settings with a great frame rate but even then you get lag spikes in some places. If you want a card for counter strike, Rocket league or the newly released alpha Squad then this is a perfect card. 2gb's of vram just isn't enough I'm afraid, no idea where they were going with releasing this with 2gb's would of gone for a cool 3gb's

Installed Driver - Reboot and Black Screen! Google'ed the issue and found a 35 Page Topic on NVidia's website regarding this issue, without a fix. Straight away swapped for an AMD/ATI Card and works fine!

wanted a later model, but funds wouldn`t allow it, so had to settle for this one, glad i did, can now play that games only dreamed about playing before getting this card, highly recommended, so easy to install, and fast, great card for a great price, love Asus hardware...

I'm posting this review as an ex-user of this item because I promptly returned it to Amazon. Originally I bought a EVGA SSC 960 which had coil whine (common issue with 960/970) so I returned it and picked up one of these because its length would have been better in my small form factor case...or so I thought. On first look the item is well packaged in its ASUS box which is nice so damage is highly unlikely, but other than that you don't really get much in the box other than the card itself. Its quite light in weight and the clean backplate was rather nice so those are plus points. Okay so here are the bad bits in my opinion. The fans come on much faster than my other EVGA SSC cards did and they are MUCH louder. Coil whine was horrific but that varies from card to card so I won't rate it down on that. Three star rating based on its price being the same although the cooling capacity seems limited, it reached 70c far too quickly, fans seem to have two options; off or 100%. Would not recommend if you have sensitive hearing or want a silent build.

Great size, price and performance. It fits well in my case which is small. Not too expensive. Maxed out most of my games at 1080p. Don't listen to people who say spend the extra in a 970. Keep the extra money for some games or some other PC parts

Does a brilliant job for the price. It's a really solid bit of kit and without much work I was up and running at max settings on most games. I've heard people have problems with the fan noise but I can't say I've noticed anything.

Asus è sempre una garanzia sia per prodotti top-level che di fascia medio-alta! Montata su un pc destinato a progettazione e rendering (non videogame!) e si comporta benissimo: silenziosa, efficiente e potente quanto basta per me... Prodotto eccellente e consigliatissimo, ma bisogna tenere a mente che si tratta pur sempre di una gtx960 2gb, valorizzata al massimo da Asus con un overclock in fabbrica, un'ottima dissipazione del calore e un'estetica accattivante. Scheda video adatta alla maggior parte degli utenti e anche ai molti videogiocatori che non si formalizzano su qualche parametro non al massimo; ai gamers accaniti suggerisco di passare a ben altra fascia di prezzo e di prodotto (magari rimanendo su Asus Strix che è senza dubbio il meglio che si possa trovare in commercio!). Unico neo: led bianco che non può essere spento (il mio pc è tutto su tonalità di rosso e quella lucina bianca mi disturba un po').

I recently assembled a PC with AMD FX-8320 and this card plus 8GB RAM and ASUS 970-D3SP mobo. I have an older Dell HD (not full HD) monitor. I'd chosen this card primarily for gaming and the results are spectacular. I'm getting 50-55fps on Ultra/Very High settings on FarCry 4, AC Unity, Crysis 3, Metro Last Light, Diablo 3 and a good many other games. I'm planning to try out GTA V and Tomb Raider soon so you can be expect this review to be updated very soon. I could go on about the awesomeness of this card but that's something others have done in detail. Rather, I'll relate a few problem I faced - THE ISSUE I faced was that the card refused to accept drivers except the basic Windows ones. I'd checked all connection carefully and reseated the card more than once. My motherboard doesn't come with integrated graphics, nor does my processor. It was obvious that the card was working but not working the way it was supposed to. Even DirectX didn't install properly, meaning no game could run. Eventually I had the card replaced. Amazon was prompt in accepting my request and delivered the replacement well on time. The moment I installed the card physically and booted the comp, voilà! Drivers mysteriously installed, DirectX moved to v 11 (on Win7 64bit) and games ran as smooth as butter. Problem solved! Yet I wonder what would have been the solution had the replacement period expired. Something to note if you have a similar problem. A second qualm I had was regarding the connectors. There is no VGA port at the back and if your monitor is old like mine, it won't have HDMI support. ASUS helpfully provides a converter but they could simply have integrated the port into the chassis itself. These aside, I have no complaints. The fan never reaches more than 60 degrees Celsius with fans at around 80% so I believe things are under control. Mind you I've not installed any but the one fan that came with my cooler master cabinet. Lastly, its extremely quiet. I may be biased because my processor stock cooler sounds like a jet engine but point is, the GPU doesn't add to the noise. Verdict ? If you've got a budget of 18K for GPU go for this card or wait till the new gen AMD R9 reaches this price bracket. Also, I'd advise you to look for periodic deals - I got mine at 15K which really is a steal.

Gestern erreichte mich die Asus Strix GTX 960 in der 2GB-Version. Nachdem ich vorsorglich den bestehenden Grafiktreiber (sowohl unter Ubuntu 14.04, als auch unter Windows 8.1) deinstallierte, baute ich die Karte ein, was auch durch ihre nicht all zu wuchtige Form (ca. 21 cm lang, 4 cm hoch) problemlos verlief. Laut Hersteller sollte man nur darauf achten, dass das Netzteil des Rechners über mindestens 400W Leistung und einen 6-poligen GPU-Stromanschluss verfügt. Beim ersten starten meines Rechners zeigte Windows noch einen Fehler an, bevor es beim zweiten Versuch sofort normal bootete. Den Treiber lud ich von der Herstellerseite (NVidia) und testete mein System nach einem Neustart. Ubuntu-Nutzer (und andere Nutzer von Linux-Distributionen) könnten Probleme mit dieser Karte haben. Nach dem Splashscreen wird nur ein schwarzer Bildschirm angezeigt (wie anfangs gesagt, NVidia-Treiber wurde vorher deinstalliert), doch half mir diese Anleitung: [...], sodass mein Rechner mit beiden Betribssystemen nun einwandfrei läuft. Bisher sah ich noch keine negativen Punkte. Mich überzeugt die Performance: aktuelle Spiele laufen mit 1080p, sehr hohen Effekteinstellungen und mehrfacher Ḱantenglättung flüssig. Zudem ist die Karte auch im Spielbetrieb nicht zu hören (vor allem im Vergleich zu meiner alten GT 640) und die GPU bleibt bei höchstens 60°C, was zeigt, dass Asus' Versprechen von "Cooler, Silent Gaming" kein Leeres ist :)

i bought this gcard as an upgrade for my 750ti. It meets almost all my needs. Its a really great GPU and with it I can run games like GTA 5,Far cry4,Watch Dogs at very high or ultra settings at 1080p. This card also runs very cool and quiet too. You can barely hear the fan and the temperature always stays below 55c even under full load. I have not yet come across a game that can't be handled well by this GPU. The only problem I found it with was that the driver CD that came with it ws not working. But you can lways download that from the internet. Final Verdict: A really great high performance middle class GPU for those who are on a limited budget.

Un consumo ridiculo y un precio decente. Es una tarjeta gama media-mediabaja. Un buffer pequeño y solo 2gb en vez de 3 que deberia tener. Tambien es verdad que si aumentas a 3gb y subes el buffer ya no costaria 200, costaria 400. En definitiva muy buena tarjeta para el precio que tiene.
