Zotac gtx 960 (non AMP!) vs MSI gtx 960 gaming OC for $20 more

dlim · Mar 3, 2015

I recently bought the zotac gtx 960 for $170 AR for my mini-itx system and am waiting for it to come in.

The MSI gtx 960 gaming OC is on sale for $190 AR.

Is the factory OC version worth the $20? Or should I just keep the non-OC version.

You can quickly and easily get it up to the OC level and save the $20. Furthermore you can reachmuch higher OC levels which the other card will most likely be restricted to also.

This factory OC thing is only really for non overclockers and a marketing tool, as the tiny little bit of OC they have performed is very easily duplicated.

Many people...

Let me guess, you're an ASUS/EVGA snob and think that these are the only true brands and everything else is made of paper and bits of chewing gum?

Personally, I don't think that the GTX 960 is worth your money. I'm not saying that it performs poorly, but it's price can't beat the R9 280 which costs around US$180 as compared to US$200. The R9 280 performs better, and has more VRAM.

I guess the only thing good about the GTX 960 is its lower power consumption

Civility please. Treat each other with respect. Stick to the facts and back up claims. No name calling. Thank you.

I believe you should stick to your 960 that you bought and overclock it to achieve the same or better results, compared to the factory OC version by MSI you mentioned.

If you've already purchased then changing to a different gtx 960 won't be worth the time and effort.

you should bring the availability vote down the responds to the tread.:http://sorry for my English,is not my native language.tank you.

Thanks for everyone who had a helpful response!

I'll stick with the non OC zotac. I was originally looking at the r9 280 and agree it's an amazing card for its price, but wanted to stick with Nvidia for my mini-itx build! :]
