NVIDIA has released the GeForce GTX 960, the company’s latest Maxwell-powered GPU. The GTX 960 offers the same performance and technologies of its big brother, the GTX 980, but at a more affordable $199 price point.
NVIDIA’s new GPU supports Maxwell’s advanced technologies like dynamic super resolution (DSR), which provides a 4K experience on a 1080p monitor, and multi-frame anti-aliasing†(MFAA), which offers high-quality anti-aliasing with improved performance. The GTX 960 is powered by 1,024 CUDA cores, while delivering 60 frames per second on full HD 1080p displays.
