MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G Sneak Peek
Fresh out of the delivery box the striking Red color and two large fans on the cooling solution accent the MSI Dragon on this Sweet Spot GPU.
With 3 Display Port connectors a DVI and a HDMI you won’t have any problem connection your monitor to this beauty.
Peeking at GPU-Z we again see the somewhat shockingly narrow memory path coming in at 128 Bit but with a generous 2 GB of blazing fast GDDR5.
Here’s a Comparison table of the GTX 960, 970, 980.
