MSI GTX 960 2G Cyclone identity

This graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 chipset with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and draws auxiliary power from a single 6pin connector. The unit suits builds that need a basic display output for older titles or multi-monitor desktop work.

2GB GDDR5 capacity and 128bit bus

The 2GB frame buffer and 128bit memory interface provide enough headroom for medium texture settings at 4096x2160. Memory runs at 7010MHz, which keeps bandwidth adequate for entry-level 3D loads. Demands beyond modest texture detail or higher shader complexity will exhaust the available video memory quickly.

Cyclone cooler and 6pin power

The Cyclone thermal solution uses a compact shroud and fan assembly that fits standard dual-slot spacing in most chassis. A single 6pin power connector limits total board draw, so the card works with modest power supplies without extra cabling. No original packaging or accessories are included with this unit.

Questions about this item

Will the GTX 960 fit and run on my older motherboard that only has a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot?

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface so it will install directly into that slot and operate at the full 3.0 link speed.

How can I confirm the GTX 960 is running at its 7010MHz memory frequency after installation?

Open a monitoring tool such as GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner and check the memory clock reading; it should report 7010MHz when the card is under load.

Does the Cyclone card come with the 6-pin power adapter or do I need to buy one separately?

The product ships without original packaging or accessories so a 6-pin PCIe power cable from your power supply is required and not included.
