just purchased this card last weekend. gtx960 4gb gddr5....04G P4 3966 KR comes with acx 2.0 cooling system , backplate , . paired it with fx 6350 @3.9 , assus 5a97 R2 mb and 750 psu. also use 27" 1080 monitor .....upgrades from gtx 660..............don't game myself but son is very impressed. runs all his games at max ( 660 @medium ) and gets 200 fp on cod modern warfare 3. this sounds good to me. oh yeah, cost was $239 plus got code for witcher 3 with it. watching him game is like watching a movie , no fluttering or lagging at all. can't tell how loud fans are as haven't had to come on yet. highest it went was 51 C and not gaming it runs about 30 C at highest. switching cards has also made computer much quieter.... not worth another $100 to buy 970 to me. first time posting so please forgive the length of this comment. thank you
