GTX 960 2 GB DDR5 graphics card

This MSI GeForce GTX 960-2G Founders Edition is a video graphics card built for desktop PCs. It carries 2 GB of DDR5 memory on a 128bit interface and connects through a PCI Express 3.0 slot. The board draws auxiliary power from a single 6pin connector.

PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth ceiling

The PCI Express 3.0 interface caps theoretical throughput for this GPU. Memory runs at 7.0 Gbps across the 128bit bus, limiting total bandwidth. Maximum display output reaches 5120x3200 resolution. These constraints define the practical performance envelope for the GTX 960 chipset.

Straightforward PCIe slot installation

Installation requires a free PCI Express 3.0 slot and a 6pin power cable from the supply. The card fits standard ATX brackets without extra brackets or adapters. Common issues include forgetting the power connector or seating the card incompletely, which prevents the system from posting. Verify compatibility with your motherboard and power supply before fitting.

Questions about this item

Will this card fit in a case with a standard PCI Express 3.0 slot and a 6-pin power connector available?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 interface and requires a single 6-pin power connector, so it will install in any compatible slot with that power lead.

What display resolutions can I run with the 2 GB DDR5 frame buffer?

The card supports a maximum digital resolution of 5120x3200, which covers 4K at 60 Hz and common ultra-wide formats within the 2 GB memory limit.

Is the memory bus wide enough for modern 1080p gaming?

The 128-bit memory interface paired with 7.0 Gbps DDR5 provides adequate bandwidth for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings in most titles.
