I wish they released it here a little earlier. I could use it in my mini build :( MSI's card is damn sexy, but the big ass heat pipes are reaching out to the edge of the windowed side panel and touching it. Nothing to worry though, but gigabyte should really revamp their styling in the cards, became boring over time and they never ever changed.

Nvidia GTX 960, many are complaining its not something revolutionary. Well it shouldn't be, and wasn't promised to be as well.

Reviews and perf-per-dollar and price-per-watt wise, its a no-brainer over R9285, the one its intended and purposed to compete with.

Yes ofcourse, nvidia hasn announced it yet but they shd come within 2-3 months

Anyway the price tag for 960 is totally not justified.. there should be a drop in price because the GTX 760 beats the 960 in many tests

Hmmm,it would be great if they launched a gtx 950/950ti type gpu(priced within 10-12k) soon to replace their 750 series of cards,which is considered by some to be one of the best options in VFM segment.As you've aptly said,the performance of the gtx 960 isn't good enough to justify its steep price tag and therefore I'm somewhat disappointed with it.

Don't know it it's correct section to post it or not, but I just called golcha it, and they simply told me that Asus r9 290 DCIIOC 4GD5 (which was previously available at 22k there) is simply not available, they quoted me 30k for it, looks like gtx 970 is now ultimate heavyweight champion here, coz no contender is left to compete , anyone else know where r9 290 can be found at 22k or less?
