Entry-level GTX 960 for 1080p builds

This graphics card uses the GeForce GTX 960 chip with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and draws auxiliary power from a single 6-pin connector. The factory overclock pushes the memory to 7010MHz. It suits budget systems targeting 1080p output.

Steady throughput on a 128-bit bus

The 128-bit memory interface and 7010MHz memory clock set a fixed bandwidth ceiling that does not rise under short bursts. During extended sessions the GPU settles to its base operating point, so frame times remain consistent rather than peaking then throttling. The 2GB frame buffer limits texture quality settings in modern titles at 1080p.

Compact dual-slot design with single 6-pin power

A dual-slot bracket fits standard ATX chassis without special clearance. The lone 6-pin connector means a modest power supply can deliver the required wattage without extra cables. Outputs support a maximum resolution of 4096×2160, allowing a 4K desktop or media playback even though gaming is aimed at 1080p.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the GTX 960 2GD5T OC draw when running all day?

The card uses a single 6-pin power connector and a 128-bit GDDR5 memory interface clocked at 7010 MHz, so sustained load stays within a modest thermal envelope for a mid-range GPU.

What must my system already have for this graphics card to work?

A motherboard with a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and a power supply that provides one 6-pin connector.

Will the GTX 960 2GD5T OC run alongside my older monitor and motherboard?

It supports a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 over its display outputs and fits any PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, so legacy displays and boards that meet those specs will work.
