Allow the new performance class: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960! Here, as offered overclocked version with an in-house triple-fan cooler design Gigabyte Factory, NVIDIA presents therefore a more than worthy Maxwell successor to the GeForce GTX 760. In the tradition of the GTX 260, GTX 460 and GTX 560 Ti, meet Californians with the GTX 960 once more the sweet spot, ie the area, which brings together the price and it offered gaming performance almost in an ideal ratio for a large part of the public.

As with the great Maxwell sisters GTX 970 and 980 (with GM204-GPU) is a special virtue in the very convincing energy efficiency because the graphics core used on the GTX 960 named GM206 also makes the most of performance per watt from each of the 1,024 shader units – called NVIDIA CUDA cores – out. Gigabyte GTX 960 at the G1 Gaming the factory increased GPU base clock is 1,241 MHz, thanks to NVIDIAs GPU Boost 2.0 is but, if necessary, all the way up to 1,304 MHz, as long as power consumption and temperature limits are not exceeded.
So this is indeed what possible does not occur and the graphics card can reach their full potential, it is important that the components on the PCB stay as cool as possible, therefore, commits Gigabyte here on their own wind force 3X cooler design with four 6 mm heatpipes, three large cooling block of aluminum fins and three large fans for up to 23 percent better airflow. In addition, the wind force 3X cooler has a LED illuminated lettering and a backplate ensures an increased stability of PCBs.
The first time ever at the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 Gaming G1 now a semi-passive version of Wind Force 3X used. This means that the three fans start below a GPU temperature of 63 degrees not only two small lateral LED light strokes and then show the passive mode on. Only if this limit is exceeded, they begin to rotate, the LED lettering set the lights. As soon as the temperature drops below 42 degrees, the fans are off again. To meet this Gigabyte GTX 960 power supply two 6-pin PCI Express connector of the power supply.
Already it can be seen how effective the Maxwell Map transferred electrical energy in gaming performance, which is output via DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0 and DVI to monitors. G-Sync-enabled Ultra-HD copies here are able to let members of unsightly tearing effects of the past, even in the 4K resolution to do so. Thanks to NVIDIA DSR feature 4K graphics are shown but still fine even at Full HD displays and Game Stream technology ensures that PC games can be streamed to a NVIDIA SHIELD device.
In addition to their gaming capability with low power consumption, the Gigabyte thrilled GeForce GTX 960 Gaming G1 with 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory operating at 3,505 (effective 7010) MHz, by many other modern features, such as Adaptive Vertical Sync, the image enhancement modes FXAA and TXAA, support for PCI Express 3.0 and DirectX 12, NVENC, VXGI or NVIDIA Shadow Play. Of course, old acquaintances such as not missing the opportunity to GPU PhysX, SLI, 3D Vision and surround.
With the latest NVIDIA drivers, its still experience with GeForce GEFORCE EXPERIENCE! The ingenious tool is integrated directly into the graphics driver, enabling both Potty Driver Updates also perfect settings for each computer on every game! Given the huge database is queried in NVIDIAs cloud data center in various configurations, so that can be a mouse click make the optimal settings.
In order to realize the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers from NVIDIA or gigabytes should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
