At default clock speeds, the MSI GTX960 2G Gaming OC is the only GTX960 to be outperformed by the Sapphire Dual X R9 285, but we put the blame at a poor default BIOS clock decision from MSI. We can see when we manually overclock the card that the performance increases dramatically.

Fully agree. It’s the reason I won’t buy another MSI “Gaming” card. I have to use the Gaming App or Afterburner to OC my GTX 760 Gaming card to get the clock speeds MSI advertise. This is silly. I want to install a card and forget it. I need an upgrade for my kids’ HTPC/Gaming rig but don’t want to have to select the OC every time we turn it on. You were right to test this card at the out of box clocks. MSI need to learn from this. Asus card for me next, once the GTX 960 Ti comes out! That’ll be a worthy upgrade to our GTX 650 Ti.
