GTX 960 2GB for entry builds

This card uses the GeForce GTX 960 chipset with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128bit bus. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and draws auxiliary power from a single 8pin connector. The specification targets 1080p gaming at modest settings.

2GB GDDR5 and 7010MHz memory clock

The 2GB frame buffer and 7010MHz memory frequency provide enough headroom for older titles and light esports games at 1080p. Modern AAA releases will exhaust the memory capacity quickly, forcing texture quality down or causing stutter. Maximum output resolution is 4096×2160, though playable frame rates at that resolution are unrealistic with this VRAM.

Twin Frozr cooler and 8pin power

MSI's Twin Frozr thermal design keeps the GPU cool under typical loads while staying relatively quiet. The single 8pin power connector simplifies cabling for most mid-range power supplies. As a used unit graded 90% to 80% new, it ships without original packaging or accessories but has passed full functional testing.

Questions about this item

Will the PCI Express 3.0 16X interface work with my older motherboard that only has a PCIe 2.0 slot?

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 16X interface which is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots. It will function at the 2.0 speed when installed in an older motherboard.

How can I verify the 7010MHz memory frequency is running correctly after installation?

Use GPU monitoring software such as GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner to check the reported memory clock. It should display 7010MHz for the GDDR5 memory under load.

Does the box include the 8pin power cable or do I need to buy one separately?

The product ships without original packaging and no accessories are included. You must supply your own 8pin power connector from your power supply unit.
