Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am very happy with this GPU. I upgraded from an AMD R7 200 series card, because of difficulty playing TSW, Elite:Dangerous and using the Oculus Rift DK2. Upon opening the box I joked that EVGA had mistakenly sent me a small motherboard instead of a GPU. It is massive compared to my old AMD R7. Installation: You will need space for this beast, look at the photo included to get an idea of the size. Once I made room I had no difficulties getting the GPU to seat in the PCI connector, I did find the power connection difficult. So difficult that I removed the GPU, and spent a few minutes trying to figure out why it would not seat, I finally finessed the power input into the socket with some force. Reseated the GPU and was good to go. The GPU comes with a CD with the Drivers on it, plus overclocking software. (It is recommended that you register the GPU before the installation since the S/N can only be found on the bottom of the GPU) Playing Elite Dangerous is like night and day. Where I struggled on low/mid graphics with the R7, the 960 plays on high settings, and putting on the Oculus Rift was stunning. I am now finally able to appreciate the power of VR, Oculus needs to hurry up with the 4k consumer version it will be a must have. The Secret World is a whole new game with the visuals maxed out, a whole new game. There is nothing worse than a gamer with a sub-par rig, and after extensive research over a few days I chose the 960 and a EVGA Supernova 750W G2 power supply to fuel the beast. I am very happy that I did. The GPU is not that noisy, if you have ever had a high speed hard drive it is comparable to that, and yet to have had any heat issues, which I felt might be a concern because the massive size. I am also much happier with NVIDIA's control center, I found AMD's Catalyst to be annoying. Not sure what else to say but, I am a happy gamer!
