"The Asus Strix GTX 960 provides excellent out of the box performance and great value for its price, while retaining the power efficiency of the Maxwell architecture." iLLGaming
ThePCEnthusiast.com: "The GeForce GTX 960 is said to be the “Sweet Spot” amongst the Maxwell-based graphics card. We have seen how to GTX 980 and GTX 970 performed (as well as the ruckus about the 970). Now let’s take a look at how this so-called sweet spot would perform. Clearly, the GTX 960 is not built for 1440p and above resolution, but it’s definitely for gamers who are still gaming at 1080p. Today, let’s take a look at the Asus STRIX GTX 960 DirectCU II OC Edition with 2GB of VRAM. At the time the GeForce GTX 960 was released, it had a retail price of $200 USD, meanwhile the STRIX GTX 960 was around $210. But I’m pretty sure its street price has gone down by now."
