PNY GTX 950 2GB and GTX 960 4GB XLR8 OC Gaming Review

3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today's high-performance gaming PCs. It is our most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

3DMark demonstrates that the PNY GTX 950 is a better option than the R7 370, though the PNY GTX 960 struggles to keep up with an R9 380 which is unfortunate given the similar price point.

  1. Eh, i don’t know if it’s worth buying, especially with 470 and 460 on the doorstep.

  2. Could you include a 960 standard in the comparison for completeness ?

  3. Seems off not to include the RX 480 in the result charts. Yes, the 960 is old, but it seems pointless to pretend newer cards aren’t competition.

  4. This is something I’ll address in my next graphics card review, it will include the Rx 480, GTX 1070 and more. Thanks for the feedback. I disagree that it’s pointless though, the GTX 960 (£150~175) is a different price bracket to the Rx 480.

  5. They should have RX 480 included!

  6. Anyway. We want to compere the cards.

    390 and 970 is they cheap?

  7. 200$ 960 vs 200$ 480? Even in the conclusion it should have been referenced that buyers should look that way or consider that the 1060 is coming out soon as well.

  8. Awesome, the 1060 review should be interesting. Also is there potential to review the 4gb RX480 as that has a starting price of £175? Would be interesting to see how memory affects performance.

  9. …Use google m8

  10. Yep, working on that – a Rx 480 is now with me so will be testing in due course and try to get this review’s graphs updated before 1060.

  11. In the UK (we are a UK site) Rx 480 is a £240+ card and not (yet) available in 4GB variants. However, yes I will revisit now I have an Rx 480 with me and update graphs/judgement accordingly.
