Conclusion
Zotac’s GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition looks like a tunable card thanks to it aggressive cooler. From its beefy sink, high-quality materials, almost best-in-class stock clock rates and affordable price tag, this card has the makings of a winner.
While the company's Firestorm utility could still use some work, Zotac's hardware is what matters most to us. There are other overclocking tools out there, so don't worry too much about the bundled utility that seems a little half-baked.
We already know that Nvidia's GPU is both fast and efficient, even if the overclock we achieved wasn't particularly impressive. Unfortunately for Zotac, the competition's take on GM206 sells at a similar price, yet operates more quietly at lower temperatures. Other cards can pull more power for overclocking, too. You could do a lot worse than a Zotac GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition, but you could also do better.
