Much GTX 960's.... How Do Choose?..........

[Aria_Bashiri]

So um, I'm definitely buying a GTX 960 because that's all I really need for gaming, I don't play above 1080p or over 60 frames I'm going to get this and not a 970 or something more expensive that'll run me outta more cash. All I need to know now is which 960's the best of them all? From benchmarks I've found that the EVGA 960 with ACX 2.0 cooling doesn't deliver the best frame rates compared to the other cards, I saw the 3x WF Gigabyte Gaming G2 960 deliver the highest frame rates in some tests, which I like in a way, but the card is a bit too big for my liking, also there's the Asus Turbo 960 which looks really cool....But I am yet to see benchmarks from that card....So I'm not sure how good it is. I'm leaning towards an MSI card right now, the MSI GTX 960 Gaming or the GTX 960 100 ME. All I need to know now is....Which card is better? Are they basically the same? I don't see any benchmarks from the 100 ME. All I really know is that it's a limited edition card(does it come with the backplate??? The 2 gig version??? I mean that's a sexy backplate m8) and I think the 100 ME can be overclocked higher or something? I dunno.

MSI has higher defect rates based on my purchase experience..

Sorry to hear that from "star7989". May be he is one of those minorities who got defective MSI cards. But in reality, MSI is the best of the lot.

As you could see MSI tops the list when it comes to making good graphics cards. In my friends circle, most of them own MSI, some of them having it for more than three years.

Spec and performance wise both are same. Only aesthetically different. 100 ME comes with dragon engraved sexy back plate and green in color.

Update:

Both 2GB LE 100ME & 4GB LE [Red] comes with back plate.

I'm rolling with an MSI GTX 750 right now, it's never gone above 45-50c during gaming on pretty high settings, and it's only the single armour fan version. I trust MSI a lot, just wanted to know which GTX 960 was the best. Does the MSI GTX 960 Gaming come with the backplate? If not I'll get the 100 ME version.

The 2GB 960 Gaming doesn't have a backplate, the 4GB does.
The MSI 960 Gaming is possibly the best 960 in all-round performance, it's both fast and extremely quiet. The Gigabyte G1 and the 2-fan Windforce are great too, and so is the Asus 960 Strix. I wouldn't recommend the EVGA 960s because I heard they're are a bit too loud under load.
960 will be much, much faster at 1080p compared to your 750.
