I haven't been in the comments at Tom's in a while, lately I've read Eurogamer and IGN a couple times and looked at the comments which are normally filled with teens bitching at eachother over trivial things while never being impressed by anything, as if it's cool if you don't like something and demand more for less.
While Tom's will certainly never devolve to that, I get a small sense of that in these comments. The 960 is 50$ cheaper than the 760, it's 10-20% faster, uses a lot less power, and is cooler and more silent while most likely having better overclocking like the 970 and 980.
Yes some of you are just outright upset with the cards performance.
Exactly what were you expecting from this 200$ card? It beat AMD's performance at the target resolution, it beat AMD's price point, and it's more cool, quiet, and uses less power. That's what this card was meant to do.
If AMD releases a cheaper card with better performance, as I'm expecting them to do, then this 960 will drop to 160-170$. Which I'm also expecting.
We are getting GTX770 performance for nearly GTX750Ti money. That's freaking amazing!
Look at the big picture.
