Mentioned by G5 in his awesome deal and just saw a big price drop today so I think I might as well post it separately. EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card 04G-P4-3967-KR — was USD$229 yesterday and now USD$179.99 + $11.27 postage to Australia = $191.26 delivered, which is around $266 AUD. Much cheaper than anything on staticICE.

If you have AmEx however you can also get 15% off $100+ purchase. So $179.99 x 0.85 + $11.27 = USD $164.27 (~AUD$228).

    Nice one.

    Would have got this if I didn't order the Sapphire R9 380 for US$209 (US$191 with AMEX) a couple of days back. I think the 380 is a slightly better card but this 960 has silent cooling…

      That's pretty much always the case with competing AMD cards huh? Came across the same thing researching before I got my 970. They offer slightly better performance at the cost of noise and heat…

      • EnALup on 23/10/2015 - 09:58

        Wear a headset while playing :). But they do work great.

        • TheContact on 23/10/2015 - 10:17

          hehe Though I was more concerned with heat output. One of the reasons I went 6700k over a 5820K.

        • EnALup on 23/10/2015 - 10:38

          @TheContact: Oh. See I have got R9 280 with i5 4th gen and 8 GB RAM. I keep an eye on when gaming to see if they are maxing out. They dont. Its the GPU which makes a lot of noise due to high temps and I can live with it till the time I am getting good display. Temp. stays at 62-67 degrees on average. I play BF4 on high settings with W10. In summers heat might be an issue if you have a small room, but I am happy with the performance as a whole for my PC.

    • PeppaCat on 23/10/2015 - 10:56

      R9 380 is much better than GTX960.

      • shuffle1 on 23/10/2015 - 11:16

        now that does makes my feel better - cos my R9 380 has shipped already now. From my reading there seemed to be a bit of debate as to whether the 380 or the 960 was the way to go… but the 380 was the general consensus it seemed.

  • mr626 on 23/10/2015 - 09:57

    Can anyone confirm what the deal is with warranty on something like this? Pretty sure EVGA do a global warranty…

    Great deal though- perfect card for 1080p gaming, especially with the 4GB Vram (for those that like playing Skyrim with 9000 mods!)

    I've been thinking of upgrading since I got a Dell 34" Ultrawide.

  • Overtime2000 on 23/10/2015 - 10:07

    great deal
    but I do think its reflective of how unpopular the GTX960 is. I just don't think its a great mid-range card at all

    • iRMonkey on 23/10/2015 - 10:13

      I assume the 970 is much better?

      • mr626 on 23/10/2015 - 10:20
        +4

        I think the big problem with the GTX960 (locally at least) is the price. Probably partly the $AUD to blame here. It really is a pretty good card, for performance, temperature, noise and power consumption at 1080p resolution its great. The GTX970 is more powerful yes, but unless you are gaming at greater than 1080P resolution you probably wouldn't notice the difference in a lot of games.

        • TilacVIP on 23/10/2015 - 11:18

          Even when the AUD was on par with the USD, we Australians were still getting in screwed with prices on hardware, hence the reason so many purchased from Amazon and the like back in those days.

          In general but more noticeably on PC hardware, we are also getting rammed from behind on price down under.

      • Maz78 on 23/10/2015 - 10:22

        Yes. I was going to go the 960 from my old 560ti. Made the jump to 970 instead.
        960 isn't really worth it IMO unless you have a very old card.

      • iRMonkey on 23/10/2015 - 10:24

        Currently got a pair of 7970s, but need to power my 3440x1440 ultrawide. Might look at GTX970.

        • XeKToReX on 23/10/2015 - 10:46
          +4

          Don't, you'll want more VRAM for that resolution and the GTX970 has issues with over 3.5GB of VRAM usage.

          You'd be better off with a R9 390/X - Even then, both of them would likely be a downgrade compared to your CF 7970's - even if they do have "only" 3GB of VRAM

        • iRMonkey on 23/10/2015 - 10:50

          The CF 7970s are struggling with anything FPS, even being GHz editions. Might need to look at the higher end cards.

        • FabMan on 23/10/2015 - 10:52

          You use Windows 10, I've had nothing but issues with my crossfire since upgrading.

        • iRMonkey on 23/10/2015 - 11:00

          Nah, still on Win8

        • XeKToReX on 23/10/2015 - 11:20

          @iRMonkey:

          I'm running a 295X2 on Win10 fine so maybe it's Fab's PC

          Most single GPU's under the 980/290X will struggle pretty badly at that res. It's not until you get up into the Fury/X and GTX 980Ti that you would find good performance at higher settings.

        • dogboy on 23/10/2015 - 12:51

          I have 2 * 7970s as well and they work a treat. Hard to justify upgrading at the moment to be honest.

        • FabMan on 23/10/2015 - 13:54

          @XeKToReX:

          Witcher 3 is my game of choice and I've hs nothing but issues with it, forums are filled with the same issues.

          StarCraft 2 works fine though.

      • ben1680 on 23/10/2015 - 21:10

        For gaming yes, but not for 4k streaming or h.265 decoding.
        Apparently Nvidia add some feature to this version of Maxwell core, namely HDCP 2.2 and ability to hardware decode next gen format h.265 aka HEVC.
        Older version of Maxwell core (GTX970, GTX980) doesn't support h.265/HEVC decoding (only encoding) and doesn't support HDCP 2.2 copy protection scheme, so some protected 4k content may not be able to be displayed.

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 23/10/2015 - 10:08

    I was gonna buy it for 4k@60fps via hdmi 2.0 but it only supports HEVC and not VP9. 4K@60fps Youtube is gonna struggle.

  • congo on 23/10/2015 - 10:36

    I currently have HD 7950.
    This would only be a minor upgrade?
    Not worth it?

    • Xizor on 23/10/2015 - 10:38

      I am in the exact same position and most people seem to be saying not really… better to o/c CPU or gfx a little or just hold out for now unless you really need too.

      That being said if i saw a drop in the GTX970 MSI i would be hard pressed to not buy it…

    • Thrawn on 23/10/2015 - 11:35

      7950 is comparable to GTX 960. Might even go backwards

    • Axelstrife on 23/10/2015 - 12:10

      I have the same card and it wouldn't be worth it to get this card.

      my next card will be a R9 390 maybe a GTX 970 if it's a good enough price.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/10/2015 - 10:43

    I currently use a HD7970 with a 4k screen, I have to say gaming isn't particularly smooth. Would this 960 be an upgrade for me?

    • XeKToReX on 23/10/2015 - 10:51
      +2

      Nope, not enough to waste this much money on.

      To get decent performance at medium>high settings, look at the GTX980/Ti or R9 390/X

      Your best bet would be to drop the resolution of your games to 1080p in the settings as it should scale perfectly on your monitor.

      • UNFKNBLVBL on 23/10/2015 - 11:08

        The 4GB of ram would help a bit with higher resolutions, compared to the 7970's 3GB but probably not worth the upgrade. If you are or have dropped cash on a 4K monitor you should be looking at least something like a 980 GTX or higher

      • videoman on 23/10/2015 - 11:05

        Yeah I was thinking of upgrading my hd7950 which I got from pccasegear from this deal-
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/77636

        for $299, but it doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.

        I thought I would get a much better graphics card 3 years later for a similar price but I guess I was wrong.

        • jackwoz on 23/10/2015 - 11:12

          Yep, i expect due to the AUD now, it is is quite expensive to get a graphics card worthy of upgrading. My OC GTX 670 seemed to play the Star wars beta fine, so im going to sit tight for a while yet.

    • FabMan on 23/10/2015 - 10:53

      Crossfire with another 7970? Unless you use Windows 10.

      • videoman on 23/10/2015 - 11:14

        Why not in windows 10?

        • FabMan on 23/10/2015 - 15:01

          Well, people have reported issues with the 7xxx in Crossfire with Windows 10, apparently not as bad with 2xx. But that could be the vocal minority.

      • MrMcHairyHead on 23/10/2015 - 11:24

        7970s are hard to get and really expensive now. Significantly more expensive than they were three years ago. I'm in the same position as them.

        • dogboy on 23/10/2015 - 12:52

          I had 3 of them in crossfire but one died and now not worth replacing due to the high cost. Happy with the 2 of them in crossfire - not sure why I needed 3 lol.

        • FabMan on 23/10/2015 - 14:49

          I think the bit mining craze is over, so people should be selling up. I picked up an OC 7950 for $140, I was happy with that.
