760, 770, 980, 290X, 285įirst, note that Far Cry 4 (PC) has improved substantially since our initial benchmark, which unrooted severe stuttering issues on some devices. The GeForce GTX 970 outperforms the GeForce GTX 960 by about 34% in this test. The GTX 960 sees roughly a 38% improvement over the previous-generation GTX 760 (now discontinued). Performance was smooth and uninhibited by stuttering or noticeable frame tearing. The ASUS GTX 960 Strix landed just below AMD's same-priced R9 285 ($210), which holds a 5.6% lead over the lower-TDP nVidia GPU.

V-Sync was completely disabled for this test. The native resolution of the display is 1920x1080. All case fans were set to 100% speed and automated fan control settings were disabled for purposes of test consistency and thermal stability.Ī 120Hz display was connected for purposes of ensuring frame throttles were a non-issue. 2x4GB memory modules were kept overclocked at 2133MHz. The system was kept in a constant thermal environment (21C - 22C at all times) while under test.
FPS logging was performed with FRAPS and then analyzed with FRAFS thermal and sensor monitoring was performed with GPU-Z.Īll game and synthetic benchmarks were performed three times for parity, then averaged. Tests were conducted using various games (listed below) and the synthetic 3D Mark benchmarking suite.
#NVIDIA GEFORCE 930M FAR CRY 4 DRIVERS#
The GTX 960 was tested using the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers (347.25) all AMD devices were tested with the latest Catalyst Omega driver download. This reduces overall noise (to 0dB from the GPU) and power draw, but doesn't threaten the integrity of the GPU given the light workload. We're told that the quieter Strix 960 will retail for $210, meanwhile EVGA & Zotac will both offer day-one overclocking solutions for $200.īecause the GTX 960 can run at 30W when playing some games – DOTA 2 & LoL included – some manufacturers' cards will automatically power-down fans until a more demanding task is at hand. ReferenceĪSUS' new GTX 960 Strix card will appear here on launch day, though we're not sure of the precise time. The Card We're Reviewing: ASUS' GTX 960 Strix Specs vs.
