do i need evga precision x for my gtx 960

And even when the EVGA card was powering along at that speed it was never loud. My review card was consistently hitting between 1,417MHz and 1,430MHz. In practice with this EVGA GTX 960 SuperSC card though I never saw the GPU running at those apparently-conservative speeds. The older card’s base clock was 980MHz, but the standard GM 206 is set at 1,126MHz with a 1,178MHz boost clock. What we do have though is a much higher clock speed. The Maxwell streaming microprocessors (SM) are made up of 128 cores in each opposed to the 192 cores of the old Kepler architecture, but the more efficient new graphics tech is able to nail the same performance with fewer cores.Ĭonsidering the GTX 970 still threw in a whole extra SMM unit worth of CUDA cores into its recipe I’d hoped for a bit more oomph in my GTX 960 spec. The GK 104 chip had a full 1,152 cores across six SMX units with 96 texture units and the same 32 ROPs. Compared with the Kepler GPU Nvidia used in its GTX 760 that spec’s actually looking a little miserly.
