There are four of those smaller multiprocessors inside each GPC, which allows Nvidia to delegate tasks with more precision – and, therefore, operate more frugally. It’s an improvement over the “brute force” approach used on older cards, like the GTX 760, which had two larger multiprocessors per GPC. Maxwell’s revised GPCs don’t need as much resource-sharing hardware, either, which further cuts down power draw.Spec for spec, this RX 470 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the R7 370, by boasting 79.9 % more fps. The RX 470 has 4 GB RAM compared to the R7 370 's 2 GB video memory. MSI has used its own TwinFrozr custom cooler for the MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. The two-fan cooling system uses massive 100mm fans that ensure the underlying GPU is kept as cool as possible. These fans won’t actually spin up until temperatures hit around 65 degrees, meaning silent operation on the Windows desktop. We’ve used 3D Mark’s Fire Strike test and four Unigine Heaven benchmarks to test theoretical performance, and we’ve taken idle and load temperatures and power requirements to see which card is the coolest and most frugal.

According to Nvidia, the reference card is so efficient that when rendering less intensive games it should only produce around 30W of heat – meaning the card’s fans won’t need to spin up at all. Card Thanks to excellent performance and near-silent operation, the STRIX GTX 960 DirectCU II is an impressive card. The MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G is slightly larger, but has similar performance and is significantly cheaper, so is a better buy if you want an Nvidia GTX 960 card. However, if you have the space and power supply for it, the XFX Radeon R9 280X is far more powerful for the price. The release year of the graphics card.

The GPU is paired with 2GB of GDDR5 RAM via a 128-bit memory bus. This reduces the overall memory bandwidth compared to the 256-bit bus we see on AMD cards at this price, but the GM206 GPU is designed to use that bandwidth more efficiently than previous-generation Nvidia cards. In real world terms this bandwidth will be ample for playing most games at 1,920×1,080; it’s only when increasing resolutions beyond Full HD that memory bandwidth truly becomes a concern.
