Too much GAMING.

Will be interesting to see the price. With that OC potential I'd consider it in mid-budget PCs if <$200.

From the 660 Ti to the 760 and now the 960, Nvidia's been treading water in the 200-250 price bracket for years now... When are we finally going to see a real step up in performance?

 

wow im disappointed in Nvidia, my gtx 670 is much faster than this 960

 

1024 cores is a bit disappointing. I am skeptical on the 1500 overclock but if true would be nice.

Also, I love how there is no 290X listed in any of the game/graphic benchmarks but the 290X is the only AMD card listed for the power consumption.

 

I must say that I am disappointed with these benches too. Hopefully the card will be faster than the old 280x. I was thinking of replacing my 780gtx with 2 of these. Now I am not so sure. I guess we will have to see what the reviews show.

 

Nvidia gtx 560ti was the last good midRange Graphic card from Nvidia

 

Wow if those benches are true then what a gigantic fail. Not even worth releasing a new card when it's barely better than the GTX 760 and probably going to be at the same price point. If this card is anything over $149 than it's overpriced.

670 = 760 in terms of performance. The 760 gets outclassed in speed by the 960 in almost all benches so how exactly is yours much faster?

I do find it a bit of a wierd market position to see the 960 not beating at least the 770. I figured it would fit between the 770 and 780 actually.

Oh well, maybe the 960 Ti will fill that gap?

GTX 670 is about 6-7% faster than a 760.

Not worth it for the consumer but very worth it to Nvidia.

The 760 is a 294 mm2 die. This new chip should have a significantly smaller die and thus be more profitable.

a 670 is about 5%-10% faster than a 760, and i had a EVGA superclock version which is a beastly OC card, can reach 1300mhz core easily, it even beats my 770.

Right but for consumers it doesn't mean jack squat unless they pass they savings on to us ala GTX 970.

 

Going by MSRP/shaders of the 970, this would land at about 200$. Let's see where Nvidia will put it.

 

Of course Nvidia needs a $250-$270 fill in for the 960Ti. Sly.

 

Wow, such a small improvement over the 760.

Really expected more from this, it doesn't even beat the 3-year-old 7970/280X. 960Ti coming soon to fill the gap, I would imagine.

 

this is being posted again.

The 670 was an incredible card! It's the only card I kept for my backup rig it's that great, I had the asus dcu II and it's one of the quitest cards I have ever used.

 

With my GTX 760/2600K and my buddies GTX 670/2500K combo running side by side there was effectively 0 difference in FPS playing the same games. I mean sure you can split hairs and give the 670 the nod but side by side without a synthetic benchmark you couldn't tell which system had which GPU in it. The real win was the fact that I paid over $100.00 less than he did for the same (real world) performance.

I think the Nvidia strategy is going to be aggressive pricing on this much like the GTX 970, going for the sub $200.00 bracket. After which they will discontinue the 750 Ti and use the 960 Ti to fill the $200.00-$250.00 price gap. Or at least that's what I hope because right now anything else makes 0 sense if they want to compete with AMD in this price range.

 

The people in this thread are hilarious....

"Oh, it isn't "faster" than the 670..."

For all intent and purpose it is just as fast, will be cheaper, and will draw less power and produce less heat. The OC headroom on this should also be pretty decent as well.

I about died laughing out of my chair when the following was said....

Yea, the 600 series was a good card, especially at 1300 Mhz....

Maybe, just maybe, some day people will learn that FPS is not the only metric worth worrying about anymore.

The 670 released over 2 years ago for 315$ so getting the 960 with the same perf for 250$ is quite lame

 

It was $350 and even then it was hard to find one at that price, my buddy paid $360 for an EVGA card with a 1 year warranty and it was the cheapest available at the time IIRC. The one year warranty bit him in the end but I digress. If the vanilla GTX 960 comes in under $200.00 it will be acceptable I think but it won't go down as a "good" purchase for most people.

Price hasn't been announced yet...

As I said before this new information myself; I hope it is under $200 street price.

 

In other words, NVIDIA is saying hold your breaths for GTX 960 Ti.
