[DanielMZXG]

I have right now R9 270, but I want something a bit more powerful:

In my country a new GTX 960 costs 300$ Minimum (so as other cards, 500$ for GTX 970 etc...)
Do you think its worth to buy this specific one?

the actual price is around $200...considering this is a flash sale, it is definitely worth it if it is a genuine product...but the seller is skeptical about the brand/manufacturer name in the discussion area...make sure u find that out and get it with full warranty...

Yes, yes its worth and more on that price. Thats a very good price for a 220~ video card. Even if its the 2gb version.

worth spending for tow cards to get SLI maybe?

Looks like a counterfeit/fake to me. The specs are way off. The Nvidia branded 960 uses a blower style cooler and will not have a vga port.

go to the actual nvidia page and match the specs vis a vis warranty...then talk to their customer support and confirm all regular artifacts...only get it when u r 100% sure...we gave u the facts and we can all speculate as we are not the buyers...u r the buyer, so go the extra mile and satisfy urself bfore making the decision...

A 960 should not have DDR3, nor be that cheap unless it's a used card.

Too odd for a real 960.

I speak Russian, the take-apart he did has some issues, the heatsink is from evga but is modified a bit, they bent fins to fit, and the power plugs don't line up properly he said, can't fit them without a screwdriver.

Specs also don't match the official nVidia specs for the 960.

The shader amount are well under a 960 and the speeds are off, he said at best it's a 950 series card,

The comment he had was basically "since the specs of the 960 can only be set by the video card maker, this is either a fake or a custom card not really a 960".
