GTX 960 Overview
As the gaming world is changing rapidly, the computer systems need to be up-to-date to be able to provide the necessary power for the game to run smoothly. A graphic card is an extension and it helps to generate a better output image. It helps a computer render the image on your monitor and a GTX 960 provides a discreet image. Modern games need more graphic capacity of the system.

Advantages
Advantages of GTX 960 are:
- There are 2.94 billion transistors in it which are 43% less than GTX 980.
- CUDA cores are reduced to half, taking the number down to 1024.
- TAUs and ROPs number are increased half as much with 64/32.
- The maximum boost clock is slightly lower than that of GTX 980 at 1228MHz.
- Memory bus width has been reduced to 128-bit which decreases the bandwidth to 112GB per second, which is exactly half of the GTX 980.
- The third-generation phantom cooler has been installed which makes less noise and gives better performance.
- It has an 80mm fans drawing air through perfectly built fins.
- It requires a 6 point power connector.
A GTX 960 card ensures an amazing gaming experience without any graphical difficulties.
