At just $199 NVIDIA's new GTX 960 is looking to provide a perfect combination of performance, efficiency and value for a highly competitive market segment. Its benchmark numbers are good, but are they enough?

Read more here: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru.../68544-nvidia-gtx-960-performance-review.html

On a side note, anyone who thinks we're biased against AMD needs to read this conclusion. :ph34r:

Apologies for some of the missing info as well (I intended to do 1440P testing as well) but an SSD failure required a complete redo of all the benchmarks starting the day before yesterday. Ugh!

128bit memory!!!
Why.....

Nice review like always.

128-bit memory interface was obviously added to save die space but with NVIDIA's new memory compression routines, it isn't all THAT bad. Just not great. ;)

Did everyone notice the price of the Canadian dollar? Seeing a ~30% difference between the US and Canadian prices will become the new norm.

Ha Ha, NCIX prices are between $250 and $300 so this card is not worth it. At $200 it would be totally a deal.

$200 USD is $247 CAD (without any bank charges / tax or commission).. so if there are ones at that price it's worth it.. Assuming the performance is worth the price.

Seen a few reviews that show the min frames dropping quite low... Think the 128 bit bus was a mistake myself.. should have went 192 and 3GB IMO. (then again that will probably be the 960Ti)
 
I was waiting on Sky's review (per usual) as I hoped it would include some info on the 960ti versions. I eventually want to get into higher than 1080p gaming and this card clearly falls short of it given Sky's review.

Ah well, start putting more $$$ aside as I wait for Sky to review the 960ti and then the R300 (rumored to be march/april lifting of NDA).

I've never heard of a 960Ti.*

However, it would make sense that NVIDIA would have something to bridge the gap between the GTX 960 and GTX 970. Heck the $250 to $275 price point is wide open!
