3DMark FireStrike sees the GTX 960’s out on top with the EVGA GTX 860 claiming king of the hill but from the R9 296 to the EVGA card the divergence is only about a thousand points.
FireStrike Extreme sees a little switchup in the scores and the EVGA GTX 960 gets top marks again but the R9 285 places second and the MSI GTX 980 runs in third.
SkyDiver has the EVGA GTX 980 in the lead and the difference in the three top cards is still only about a thousand top to bottom.

The EVGA GTX 960 has that kind of quiet style of an era gone by. Instead of a Bikini cowling with flimsy plastic it sports a full cowling and under that cowling it packs a plethora of technology.
I hate it when amateur overclockers are worried about the lifespan of their card, and are afraid to adjust the voltage….
Good for you the 8800gt is still alive.. now go play doom with it
Actually we get paid to OC and to OV equipment and we do it very well making us the professional OCers. You on the other hand have no world records and don’t get paid making you the rank amateur. OCing is for when you need that boost, and yes there is a trend to 24/7 OCing and there are also reports of 24/7 overclockers experiencing twice the failure rate of equipment of moderate use overclockers. Then the Overvolters like you try and foist your burnt up trash on innocent people on Ebay. My XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog sold for $100 all these years later and the guy Running SLI 8800GT retro SLI will enjoy his vintage rig for years. Haven’t you heard bro Old is gold, well except in your case old is just trash.
Zomg. This is the best response I’ve seen on a review ever. A lengthy review and all he could do was whine about OV. As to the 8800, pretty sure there’s someone in this house playing WoW on one.
Enjoyed your review. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
