Will this strain or hurt my GPU making it run faster than usual? I do however have 2 noctua 140mm fans in the front and an intake but what do you think? Thank you! :)

Love how there are so many people willing to reply and help out on the threads.

Its hard to say. On Battlefield 4, your frame rate will depend on what game mode your playing (if online), how many players are in the server and what map you are on etc.
If you have played on the "Test range" before on bf4 you will know that the FPS you get in this is FAR greater than what you would actually get in any game mode as its a small map and there is no other players present.

I think you will be safe on medium to high settings 60fps+.

It won't 'hurt' your GPU at all, the only way you can hurt a GPU is overclocking it too much and exposing it to constant extreme temps
Is it the standard 2GB 960 or do you have 4GB of VRAM? If it's 2GB you may be better off with high. The 960 has some horsepower in it, but 2GB of VRAM can cause problems with some of today's games on higher settings.

The settings that will make the biggest difference to FPS are AA Deferred, AA post and Ambient Occlusion. So you can put the rest of the settings on ultra and those 3 on low or medium and get 60fps
