The Maxwell architecture is NVIDIA’s greatest achievement as of late given its efficiency compared to the last generation. While it doesn’t serve as a great leap in terms of performance, many people are still convinced by the excellent performance-per-watt ratio. Both the GTX 980 and GTX 970 have been largely in-demand primarily for the efficiency but the Maxwell-based GTX GPUs also introduced some new features including NVIDIA Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI), Multi-Frame sampled AA (MFAA), and Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR). Maxwell GPUs also support Microsoft’s upcoming DirectX 12 API.
About GeForce GTX 960
The GTX 960 is, to be very concise, a GTX 980 split in half as the table below indicates. Whatever made the GTX 980 a great card has been cut in half, castrated and reduced to make the GTX 960. That means its still the same 28nm Maxwell GPU featuring the same number of transistors but bears the GM206 name whereas the GTX980 and GTX970 bear the GM204 GPU.
Model | GeForce GTX 980 | GeForce GTX 970 | GeForce GTX 960 |
GPU | GM204 | GM204 | GM206 |
CUDA cores | 2048 | 1664 | 1024 |
Texture Units | 128 | 104 | 64 |
ROP | 64 | 64 | 32 |
Memory Bus | 256-bit | 256-bit | 128-bit |
Memory Size | 4 GB GDDR5 | 4 GB GDDR5 | 2 GB GDDR5 |
Memory Bandwidth | 224 GB/s | 224 GB/s | 112 GB/s |
As indicated, the GTX 960 will feature 1024 CUDA cores running with a reference base clock of 1126Mhz and a Boost clock of 1178Mhz. At launch, only a 2GB GTX 960 is available and no word on any other memory capacity model yet. The memory runs at a reference 1753Mhz wired to a 128-bit bus. That last part may sound a bit underwhelming but thanks to delta color compression which enables the GM206 to better utilize its available memory bandwidth (148.8GB/sec effective in GTX 960 vs 144.2GB/sec in GTX 660).
The GTX 960 is aimed squarely at 1080p gamers and the launch price places the GTX 960 at the sweet spot at which most mainstream gamers currently sit with a SRP of $199. AIB partners and their custom boards are expected to hover just below $230 but still, this is lower than the GTX 760’s launch price of $250.
Features
The new Maxwell graphics cards introduces some new features to NVIDIA cards as mentioned earlier with the main highlights being VXGI and DSR amongst other things.
VXGI or Voxel Global Illumination improves 3D scenes by introducing more realistic lighting to 3D scenes by introducing voxels or volume pixels which makes light interaction of 3D objects have a more dynamic and photo-realistic feel.
DSR or Dynamic Super Resolution is another new featured, integrated via the GeForce Experience application, which add downsampling capabilities to the GTX 900 series graphics cards which lets users of other monitor sizes experience larger resolutions in their monitors without needing say a 4K UltraHD screen or a 1440p monitor. Dynamic Super Resolution works by rendering in the desired resolution and then downscaling the image and applying a filter to the native monitor resolution for an improved image quality of the scene being rendered.
In contrast to DSR, NVIDIA also introduces MFAA or Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing. This AA technique basically is a faster implementation of MSAA which should see 4xMSAA quality at the performance hit of only 2xMSAA. Implementation is in its early stages but is promising nonetheless. MFAA can be set via the GeForce Experience app.
As expected given the earlier announcements, DirectX12 is in the works and the new GTX 900 series graphics cards fully support the DX12 API alongside its many new feature offerings including better CPU utilization and overhead reduction, improved multi-core utilization and efficiency, and plenty more features for developers to use.
All of these features complement the already existing feature set that NVIDIA offers including GeForce Experience and ShadowPlay, etc.
About the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION
ZOTAC’s AMP! Edition graphics cards are the company’s top-end offering and featuring distinct designs than their mainstream counterpart. For the latest generation of graphics card, ZOTAC has actually employed a new set of cooler design for their AMP! Edition cards and they look absolutely amazing. For the GTX 960 series, the AMP edition employs a dual-fan configuration cooling the the card with its factory overclocked speeds of 1266Mhz with a 1329Mhz boost clock complemented by a 7010Mhz memory clock wired to a 128-bit wide bus.
Now if that’s looking impressive already, ZOTAC also has a special edition GTX 960 AMP! EDITION which features Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes artwork on the backplate. Yes, a backplate which not all GTX960 features. The card also runs off a single PCI-e 6-pin power cable and has a great looking cooler thrown in.

Overclocking
Overclocking any graphics card is pretty straightforward nowadays provided you know what to do and given that most companies also have their own overclocking software, makes it so much more approachable. We use the latest MSI Afterburner software for this test.
One of the main promises of the Maxwell GPUs is greater overclocking. As the stock clocks already demonstrate, we have pretty high frequencies in stock already and we’re able to flex that around more using an overclocking tool like MSI Afterburner. All of our units are retail samples off the shelves and aren’t cherry picked so our OC’s should be more comparable to what’s achievable in most cases.
Quite possibly the highest OC we’ve gotten from any GTX 960 we’ve got, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition has so much headroom to wiggle around in. We’re getting higher OC than our ASUS Strix GTX960 and GALAX GTX 960 EXOC, on base frequencies but the we would’ve wanted to see past 8000Mhz on that memory range. Still a good solid on this GPU and shows us that ZOTAC’s got some good chips under those AMP! edition cards.

FullHD (1920×1080)
Battlefield 4 is one of the hottest titles of 2013 and continues to prove itself a worthy game. Based on DICE’s Frostbite Engine 3, this game’s lush details and visuals are just stunning but can really stress any modern GPU. Level tested is the escape from Baku with wide open space and collapsing building showing what the Frostbite 3 engine can do.
The most visually intense game to ever been made. Prophet is back to take on the Ceph and Cell after a long sleep and the world isn’t what it was when before he got frozen. CryEngine 3 is behind this beautiful beast that will put a lot of systems to their knees. The opening level shows off the particle and water rendering of the engine.
The most popular game on Steam and the biggest competition in eSports; DOTA 2 is powered by the Source engine. The game is fairly light on low to medium settings but maxed out with heavy action on screen especially during clashes can really stress some systsems.
We use the built-in timedemo and benchmarking tool. DOTA2 only shows average FPS so we will be reflecting that in this test. Our timedemo features a heavy clash in the bottom lane for the maximum real-world system load the game can generate. With the recent visual update, DOTA2 has received some graphic makeover that adds a bit of hit for the system and all our date are updated to reflect this.
Batman: Arkham Origins is the prequel to the highly successful Arkham series of Batman games from RockSteady. Rocking Unreal Engine 3, the game has superb detail and puts a decent load on modern systems.

TEMPERATURE & POWER CONSUMPTION
To measure both power consumption and heat, we stress the video card and record the peak values for heat and wattage. We use default values on the cards and stress test them using a mix of Kombustor Dx11 Burn-In Test with Post-FX.
NVIDIA’s Maxwell GPUs are the pinnacle of efficiency when it comes to existing GPUs in the market right now and the 2nd-gen Maxwells baked into the GTX900 series are certainly the most impressive we’ve seen to date. The GTX 960 continues the great trend in power efficiency, bringing with it better temps and power draw.
Despite the beefy looking cooler, we’re a bit disappointed about the cooling potential of this new Zotac cooler. While it does manage to keep the card on a nice idle temperature even with the fans sitting idle, it is under load that we feel that cooler is just underperforming as the card soars past 83*C on full load. You can manually tweak the fan to 80% fan speed and one of their main point of interest is that they are absolutely quiet even at 80% fan speed which is just great but still, we want our fans to last a bit longer so a manual temperature curve should be in order if you want better cooling performance under load.
CONCLUSION
The ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition is one of the rare instances that game artwork is used on the card itself and it is a well-executed in this one also with the Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes artwork really giving the card that stand-out visual pop. Let’s break down the card further:
Performance. NVIDIA tags the GTX 960 for a sweet spot position namely the 1080p market with its 1080p@60FPS campaign. We try and fit our benchmarks to the most active games that set a benchmark for today so Battlefield 4 and DOTA2 are up in there with performance definitely well in the playable range. BF4 does hover below 60FPS with in-game settings set to Ultra with 4xMSAA enabled. A few touches down AA should improve performance overall though.
Build Quality. With the new cooler design really looking intricate we’d have expected some better cooling but the thinner fin stacks are just enough to keep the card just above 80*C. While the card can do still raise its fan speed to compensate, we’d have wanted a semi-passive temps of below 79*C to give GPU Boost more room to push the card further. Still, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition is one of the most
Functionality. The GTX 960 is a good mid-range card with power draw perfect for an everyday gaming PC and also an HTPC. That said, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition is a pretty good choice given its middling size and will some ITX chassis with ease. The low power draw also makes it a good pair for low-capacity, high-efficiency power supplies.
Bundle. Its starting to get really tiring writing off a lot of graphics card we’ve reviewed recently and shooting some points off because they don’t come with a free game. If you’re buying right now, NVIDIA is heavily promoting Witcher 3 and any qualified 9-series card purchased recently (during time of writing) are entitled to a free copy of Witcher 3. That said, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION MGS:GZ variant features a free copy of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. That’s a wicked offer to pass up and should spice up
Value. At $210, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION is competes with many of the higher-end GTX 960s out there but its MGS GZ bundle and backplate makes it an easier pick compared to the other GTX 960s we’ve looked at. If the game isn’t what you’re looking for though, the look of the card is easily a good option if you’re looking for something modest yet stands-out in a certain way. The Metal Gear Solid artwork could be worth it more for fans of the game. As an added incentive, ZOTAC offers an extended warranty period of 3 years for a total of 5 years total warranty coverage. You can read up on the specific warranty duration for more regions in ZOTAC’s warranty info page.
The GTX 960 promises good 1080p gaming and while we didn’t see consistent numbers even in NVIDIA-optimize titles like Batman: Arkham Origins, pumping up the screen to 1440p still sees lower drops vs. those we see in AMD cards in these titles so a few tweaks with GeForce Experience or the in-game details could get the card really flowing in the the 1080@60FPS range for many titles.
The power draw is really where its at and if you are really mostly gaming in the 1080p resolution or heavily focused on MOBAs with a touch of AAA games here and then, the GTX 960 is surely a top choice for you.
With an excellent game bundle and great build quality, the ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition combines solid performance with good looks for an excellent out-of-box experience for anyone looking for an affordable, factory overclocked GTX 960. Any Metal Gear Solid fan looking to add a touch of Fox in their rig might also want to check out the limited edition Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes custom artwork on the backplate. An easy card to recommend if you’re in the market for a GTX 960.

BACKPLATE!!!!!!!!! for backdoor protection!
uyy sakto. need this for my upgrade. 🙂
thanks b2g and zotac ph for the chance! :3
I like the backplate of this card and I think this is the most affordable GTX 960 of all. I would love have this so I can finally have a dedicated Video card. I sold my last gpu for emergency reason.
great review, very informative and nice benchies. now i wanna buy a gtx 960 to upgrade my r9 270x ahhaha..
So sexy!! I love that backplate!
Amazing budget card, perfect for 1080p gaming.
Very cool
Best for its Value + Power Efficiency!
efficient and beastly performance
Zotac’s GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition sure looks good, thanks to its sleek metal shroud and dual fan design thanks for the opportunity to have 1
What i like about this card is the ability to overclock, the build quality feels and looks packed and strong, and the raw performance! not to mention the Backplate! nice review! keep it up 🙂
i want this!!!!
Budget friendly and efficient
The “Extended Warranty” Feature seems to entice me on getting this card.
Awesome. It’s great to see that Zotac is throwing everything they had (including their kitchen sink) just so they can roll out this bang for buck card. BTW, thanks for the chance Back2Gaming and Zotac Philippines for hosting a giveaway of this beautiful monster GPU card. 🙂
The card is pretty amazing!
nice extensive review! thumbs up! 🙂
😉
Being DX12 ready is a pretty awesome feature of the card. DX12 is being anticipated and having your GPU support the upgrade is worth the price of the card.
That 2GB Metal Gear Solid <3
Cheaper than Other, Hotter than Other! Zotac is actually my first card when i started building my rig it suits me best! Thanks for the Chance 🙂
Power, efficiency, and very attractive price. Two thumbs up!
Best Feature would be the DSR or Dynamic Super Resolution, Visual Reality baby!!
It’s a cool card and stable.
Good performance at a great price!
Performance and efficiency
Running pc games with this is a piece of cake hahaha the design is cool and sleek nice VC definitely a go…if it wasnt for the tax and etc. that makes this VC so expensive on the PH market…ugh
Looks like the perfect card for 900p/1080p gaming at max settings!
Looks good with the metallic finish on the shroud and the backplate of course. Other brands (MSI) should start adding backplates on their cards. It adds appeal and protection.
Thanks Zotac!
Can’t wait to play The Witcher 3 using this card. 😀
This is a great mid-high end GPU. It consumes lesser power compared to high-end GPUs but it offers a decent gaming experience even in modern games. If paired with a decent CPU, this GPU would be enough in about 3-5 years of gaming depending on how you use it.
eto na sya!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock on Zotac and B2G!
Solid performance!
awesome review
This video card is a quiet one that run with lower power, running on the new Maxwell gpu. One of thiose cards is the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition. and also i like this card because its factory overclocked and it can do 1080p gaming while staying in a cool and quiet state, and i love its boost clock at 1329mhz. money deserves this card… absolutely great for a mid range system.
I like how you made the review easy to read/understand. It’s a great review!
Great review! Awesome bang-for-the-buck card too! No wonder it’s selling like hotcakes.
Very efficient, powerful gpu while having a reasonable price, also as of now it does include the witcher 3 + 16dlc’s code given away by gog for buying the vc and kojima’s game as well.
Great review! hope i experience using this gpu 🙂 thanks!
there is a saying that “you get what you pay for”
but on this one you’ll even get much more!
kudos for giving us a great review!
I loved Zotac GTX 960 AMP! Edition because it offers the current best price to performance range in the market. It has Maxwell Architecture and it is power efficient even on load! The benchmarks looks promising and the Zotac GTX 960 AMP! Edition stood well in it’s higher Maxwell family and predecessor graphics card. The AMP! Edition by Zotac offers a neat back plate and one of the awesome games, the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
Performance and Power Efficiency plus it has a backplate.
Simply the best looking GTX 960 out there.
I love this Videocard!
This card is pretty good. a mid-range card in terms of price with decent performance. This is one card you should aim for if you are making a 1080p build
I love the solid performance and the quiet operation
the best graphics card in the market today!
giff me
Thanks for the giveaway, I’d love to upgrade my system with this fine piece
its soo good im gonna die!
nice backplate
Awesome!!
Good Luck Everyone!!!!
Love the design, small and excellent for mini ITX builds. That backplate makes it hella sexy. Super plus to the price, for a GTX 960, it’s worth every penny.
I love the backplate, makes it look really good, but my favorite part is the OC posibilities
i like its performance 🙂
Well written review 🙂 the format choice of the website is very nice , had no problems at reading the review
I like how the fans don’t spin unless subjected to heavy loads.
Great to see that this particular Zotac card is on top of the other 960 cards. That’s some performance right there!
ZOTAC is The Best <3
Zotac Trusted 101% <3
Zotac really has gorgeous looking gpus, great review!
nice looking gpu.. hoping to get one soon
That power efficiency though. I love it! 🙂
very nice looking GPU! i hope i can have it someday!!
Backplate included, Solid performance, Quiet operation =D
Solid performance and price…nice looking too!!!
Sakto, I will be upgrading a new video card.
And it really suite my needs, mapapalitan ko narin si geforce 8400 gs ko (super vintage)
Hope I can SLI this with my Strix 960.
Simple, Elegance & Packs a Punch on any latest games out there 😀
Zuper Osum This Amp Card(ZOTAC)!!! get it? hahaha you guys \m/!
Really want to win one of these gpu.
It’s NVIDIA! nuff said 😀
Its a good gpu right next to r9 290. scary! solid performance nice
The performance of this card is so good, have been keeping an eye on this card because of it’s performance despite it’s price as a gaming video card. I really want to upgrade my current card which is a shitty GT 620 and this is definitely the sweet spot for me 🙂
Slick performance and power efficiency. Full armored look of the card at any angle and the addition of a back plate for more assurance of the cards stability. Legit brand and runs quiet even on game and still have low temps.. Small size of the card, can provide more air flow for smaller chassis. one bang for the buck GPU! wish to win this badboy so much ! 😀
FullHD (1920×1080) nice that’s what I really need
Low TDP and has a nice price to performance ratio.
I love how low the TDP are, super compact size and very powerful. It has a good looks to that will compliment to my current set up. 🙂 I love how zotac do their cards. 🙂
cool built for DX12! amazing!
i want this to make my game better. 🙂
tipid sa kuryente. we all need this kind of GPU in our country. LOL <3
GREAT REVIEW..MAKES GAMES BETTER AND LOOKS SO BADASS WITH THAT METAL GEAR GROUND ZERO EDITION!
Always looking up to this 960 brand, and then i saw this card with zotac brand its more ideal card that other cards, performance, power efficiency and surely the sweetest spot in gaming builds.
great review as always
For the price, i like that it includes a cool backplate. Medyo OC ako sa noise kaya importante sa akin ang silent gaming. Nice review bossmac. Love the details.

nice and solid review ;3
The backplate looks awesome! Zotac pick me! haha
i like its backplate! looks beasty!
This is going to be useful for my 4K resolution!
Top Performance and nice price 🙂
This will be the pinnacle of my new gaming rig if I win this and seeing texture that it gives and also the ratings it gets but not just the ratings the performance is just breathe taking for its edition and range. Thanks for giving out a review B2G.
I love the Multi-Frame sampled AA (MFAA) and its 4k resolution! 😀
what i love about this card is the Architecture it holds and the possibilities you can achieve with it. I specially like the back plate.
It’s gonna be a welcome update to my 5 year old PC 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!
Multi-Frame sampled AA (y) too cool
I won’t need a PS4 or an Xbox One anymore. Thanks for the chance and good luck to everyone. Oh and gratz in advance to the lucky winner ^~^.
That sexy backplate 🙂
Good price to performance ratio and cool looking backplate! \m/
I want this card because it has slick design and the performance is definitely for its price range. Thanks for nice review B2G. 🙂
the price to performance ratio of this is sweet!
astig nung back plate !!!
ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Edition is the best card for me. One reason is that it has a metal shroud which help the card in cooling system. It also has a low power usage and load temperature. In addition, it comes with an easy use 1 click overclocking software “firestorm” which work best for me. And the most Important thing for me is the performance ratio because it is very affordable compare to any other brands with the same performance in the market! So thanks for the chance ZOTAC Philippines and Back2Gaming! I want to win a GTX 960 AMP! EDITION! 🙂
Nice review, very informative
this is awesome man. i like the performance im trying my luck in here 😀
Awesome card plus an amazing game too.
I hope to win this giveaway!^_^
with great power comes great responsibility, lol haha
i love the design and the price!

BossMac your review is great very nice 🙂 <3 i love nvidia 🙂 and zotac <3 sana manalo aku i got my 5770 matagal ko na to ginagamit pero sana..mapalitan na hirap walang pang upgrade 🙂 hindi na udated yung gpu ko kapos na sa power… 🙁 sarap mag laro nang witcher 3 pero hindi na kaya 🙁
First of all, I like how the card’s 2 year warranty can be extended to 5 years if you register the product. Second, It is the perfect “bang for the buck” graphics card ranging at around Php 9,800 and it also comes with a nice Metal Gear Solid V backplate. Lastly, The card has received exceptional reviews. Everybody loves a card that doesn’t disappoint reviewers. Hehe
eto na lang tlaga kulang sa build ko! 5 years and counting na tong inaamag kong sparkle gt 240 gfx card.
my rig:

1x 320gb HDD
1x 250gb HDD
650w Humax PSU
*Sparkle gt 240 1gb <—- (bottleneck) sawang sawa na ako sa pixelation at incompatibility
ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION 2GB graphics card will finally complete this.
i really just wanna experience next gen gaming for once and i know for sure this card will deliver. not to mention it is the best looking card of the all the gtx 960s out there.
sana manalo rin ako hehe. great review by the way
after a year . this is a entry level GPU i think
If you’re into serious, high-performance gaming. This card is the ACTUAL the entry-level.
I like the back plate <3
Looks pretty cool and pretty nice to replace my old graphics card 😀
Aside from GTX 980, this beast is what I’ve been waiting for. With DX12 ready, this Video Card is really bang for the buck. The review help me understand more about the capabilities of GTX Zotac 960 especially I am a bit choosy when playing a specific high-end game. The review is definitely worth my time. Thanks!

would be a great addition on my plan in making an intel based rig… 😀
Best video card with a good performance in an almost affordable price !
This card is great because it is the most budget friendly of all and this card is cool that tive me the batmobile feels. I also want to replace my gt630 in my current pc. Also thanks for the chance Back2Gaming and Zotac Philippines for hosting a giveaway.
Bang for your buck! Quality and Performance!
This looks nice
Wish to win this one!
Best choice for gtx 960 if you are on a tight budget. Thanks for the chance for this giveaway 😀
Very nice and affordable card. Plus there’s always something sexy about a card with a backplate. lol And oh, I hope to win this one. It’d be nice to have an upgrade.
Thanks for the chance ZOTAC Philippines and Back2Gaming! I want to win a GTX 960 AMP! EDITION!
#want2win
Tweet. Wish I could win this. Badly needed. Awesome hardware for an awesome guy like me.
Nice design and performance
I would really want this card. I want to win the give away! I really want a good gpu. I have been using my gt630 for about 3 years now! Cant even play a decent nex gen game !
I hope i’ll win this gpu since i’ve just started building my gaming PC, still don’t have the budget for the card, and I really want an nvidia card since most of the games developed right now are supported by nvidia *not hatin on amd* so yeah, the extra features than nvidia card have is one of the reasons that i should own it on muh new pc. Plus it has lower power consumption! Hurray for electric bill!
Hoping for the best of luck for everyone. The 960 is a very good midrange card!.. Definitely a Sweet Spot!
Graphics card that comes with high performance but very efficient. bang for the buck! 🙂
I like how Zotac GTX960 AMP!-edition is pre-overclocked which gives you a bit more performance and also is very silent making it a perfect gaming card for the user who doesn’t want a hair-dryer in their system.
Good looking card and great cooling fans. Bestbuy videocard.
Factory overclocked speeds, performance/watt ratio and backplate FTW!
Best of the best. An amazing graphics card. I am looking forward for this graphics card
Thanks for the chance ZOTAC Philippines and Back2Gaming! I want to win a GTX 960 AMP! EDITION!

It makes me wanted to have this to complete my custom custom built computer I still need a to buy a motherboard and graphics card if I win I can save more money to get a good motherboard I want to have this since I made my research on YouTube from newegg that it has great performance. ZOTAC is the number 1 When it comes to budget and it has the best performance compared to any brands

Amazing performance in an affordable price!
Amazing performance. ^_^
What makes this card, the Zotac GTX 960 Amp! Edition, so great in terms of performance, is that it’s already factory overclocked. So you are already on the safe side of its operation when gaming. Another point for the power efficiency is it’s Maxwell Architecture. One more plus is on it’s great performance-per-value price. Though, my only downside for it is on it’s total available VRAM, it only has 2GBs of it. If it had a 4GB version, that would be perfect!
This zotac GTX 960 amp edition! is kinda dream for me because im a student who don’t have enough money to afford this type of card, by the way this card would greatly be one of the best from each aspect and to those rivals of this card either red or green based from your review ( nice review sir). in my case im using 1080p monitor which this card is perfectly suited because those upcoming games and the currently high end games (gta v, witcher 3, etc.) would benefit and can be expected to run ultra settings in 1080p by this card aside from that it could run for 1440p in decent performance. About temperature and power consumption for a beast gaming card the temperature is kinda low compared to other brands in my opinion. in power consumption it only deals 173w at high load(what a nice power consumption) it pretty could run on my corsair vs650. being a student with a lot of stress playing games could benefit a stress reliever with a proper time management and gtx 960 would fill all about my expectation on most lovable games that i want. if i given a chance to have this card i will take care of it on its top form and be responsible gamer too. i would rate your review as 9/10 for being so simple but knowledgeable review more power BOSSMAC and thanks for this opportunity! and thats it no other b*llsh*t just saying what on my mind hehe!
VXGI plus DSR! ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! Those teams who create this one is making every single player in this world happy. Compliment is an honor 😉
Great perfomance at low price!
The Zotac-Freeze Technology is great cause it reduces wear on the Unit plus it makes the video card run silent when the user is idle.
It’s the future for gaming 🙂
perfect design, quiet, and great performance.
1080p gaming for less than 10K
that cooler and backplate :3
Looking forward to winning this event! :3

really cool review, i really want to have this because,, i really dont have money to buy, pls be mine
ZOTAC is one of those reputable brands that’s known to market nVIDIA cards here in the Philippines. I’d be glad to finally own one of their cards. And plus, it’s also DX12 ready!
For a hard core gamer this is what you wanted to have its one of the best entry level graphics card that can give you the gaming experience need.
Ang ganda!! backplate FTW
Maraming salamat ZOTAC Philippines and Back2Gaming
Overclock you want this baby can go beyond what you expected playing a point and shoot game it will satisfy your hunger in your eyes. Great overcloking features.
This, I want. 😀
One of the best gpu in the market today!
Given the card’s conservative power specification, the GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition uses a single six-pin PCIe connector. Zotac’s maximum consumption is rated for 120W, which matches Nvidia’s reference. That’s interesting if only because this board is running at a higher clock rate, suggesting Nvidia’s spec had some headroom built in or Zotac has some hand-picked GPUs.
very well detailed review.. Bang for the buck gpu!
I like the design of this card and its performance.
The Zotac 960 AMP! Edition features a backplate that would look awesome on my rig! Compared to other GTX 960’s, Zotac has not only thought of affordability, but also performance, making this futureproof! I’d like to get one of these!!
glhf!
Absolutely amazing card!you simply cant go wrong with this one!
ganda ng aesthetics for a mid-range card (and reasonably priced too) haha sana mamaintain ang sweet spot sa 1080p in future titles 😀
Top Card
Free Game and Great Perf!
Best non ref gtx 960 in the market. Best price, design, performance and warranty.
Looks great! Cant go wrong with 960s plus the free games (Witcher- RPG Fan here since PS1 days 🙂 )
most affordable non ref gtx 960 and reliable!
The GTX 960 has the Best Value, Low energy consumption and High Performance

I really love its performance / performance (Wanted this to buy for my gaming rig) but, thanks for the chance 😀 Really want this baby
I really love its performance / specs***
Just bought this one yesterday, and met several buyers who have the same reason…to make Witcher 3 playable on their PCs. It was a wonderful experience to share our experiences with playing Witcher 3. And I thought MG Solid was free :-D. This video card gave me more bang for my hard-earned bucks, and it didn’t bleed my ATM card dry.
Highly recommended!
High Performance
Affordable Price
So cool and awesome Design 🙂
I wanna win this cool card
I recommend this to all of my friends and one of them purchased it. Didn’t expect something and she loved it and I received a big smile and appreciation she never have a smooth and good experience when she played dota 2 . She was so happy with it when she replaced her old graphics card.
Thanks ZOTAC you never failed empressing the girls with your performance with the.
Best entry level graphics card.
ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP in one of a hell graphics card i want to have one
The more I research about this model from zotac the more I want it. The price is fairly done with its features and if you based the performance and how it renders the graphics specially in gaming you couldn’t ask for more you may assume that this is an expensive graphics card for an entry level in fact its not that expensive compared to other brands. The best graphics card I would recommend an A+++
Loving the sweet spot of price and performance with the GTX 960, also with the power efficient Maxwell architecture, NVidia Sure is leading the way in GPU technology.
GPU Silence is a must for any good GPU, this where this card truly succeeds.
wooahh dulong dulo haha love you B2G
WoW. very nice v.card. good performance for high end games.
Very great giveaway, big thanks for this Chance
nvidia it meant to be played!
What i like about the gfx card is that its noise production, though the problem of recent cards are the noise which comes from the coil whines this card maintain the low level of noise which will neither disturb nor annoys the user when at full load.
Metal design and power \m/ 😀

#pleaseletmewin
While the R9 280x has a bit more omph – I absolutely adore the efficiency and lower power requirements this card brings to the table (gotta keep those electric bills low!). This card would be perfect with my few months old intel i5 4590 (still using the integrated grahpics grr)
Good review on a really good graphics card but aside from the specs you really had me at the Metal Gear art on the card itself. Great job! 😀
Great card for lovers. Excellent value for the price and quality
ZOTAC GTX 960 great card !!!
All of this is AWESOME !!!
heh
hallelujah!
this graphics card has a great design, quality and performance
Zotac 960 AMP! Edition Has that really nice ExoArmor backplate which not only looks stylish, but also gives this card extra protection. Really efficient and the FREEZE technology really helps alot in lowering the noise when i’m not gaming.
It can run witcher 3 which is pretty pretty pretty good to mee.
Hope I win xD
Hope to win!
Price to performance ratio, surely bang for the buck ang na gpu to.
great performance!
Informative review,i like it looks like great performance!
I like it so much and i want it 🙂 thank you 🙂
In the Philippines we always agree with budget friendly and durable and great performance . The CPU may be the brain of your PC, but when it comes to gaming, the graphics card is the beating heart that pumps pixels out of your obelisk of a tower and into your monitor. Some say why not buy an expensive graphics card and then they recommended other brands luckily I found ZOTAC GTX960 on Facebook and you have to do is sign up and follow the instructions and you could win this for free. So I decided to go with the it which is my target brand I made my research and compare its functions and features to other brands and found out its an entry level graphics card which is for an expert level graphics card ZOTAC GTX960 one can still give you a taste of the best experience in gaming. On top of that A graphics card consists of dedicated video memory and a graphics processing unit that handles all sorts of calculations, like mapping textures and rendering millions of polygons and its best for point and shoot game like METAL GEAR SOLID AND WITCHER 3. I am a fan of the point and shoot game but don’t have a budget to buy one the only game I have played is dota 2. What amazing it is when you keep on studying for it you learn that the ZOTAC gtx 960 has this good behavior to save energy when you play a heavy game the fan starts to process the technology that was applied to it. it circulate the air to cool it self and the aluminum alloy to reduce the heat is an additional cooling technology. Comparison to other brands you can save a lot of money since there is a little difference to other brands you can invest other computer parts such as mother board or ram.
Conclusion:
Inexpensive
Budget friendly
Excellent gaming performance
Overclock
Fast
Long lasting
Good things to know :
Good feedback
Trusted company
Powerful hardware
Cooling technology
Entry level card
Smart technology
Durability wise
BossMac nice review by the way

Lets do this!
i want it so bad! grrr!!!
The looks of the Zotac 960 are quite catching, great game bundle that surely makes it the better choice along with the fine performance it churned out at benchmarks.. This card is surely worth your every penny…
This card looks superb! I want one for my current rig.
I like the GTX 960 for it’s solid performance for it’s affordable price
Really like to get a GTX 960
awesome STuff, i like GTX 960.
So I decided to buy a Maxwell cpu
Here’s my own review about the ZOTAC amp GTX960
ONE KEY FEATURES of the ZOTAC GTX960
1. NVIDIA Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI)
2. Multi-Frame sampled AA (MFAA),
3. Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR).
4. Maxwell GPUs also support Microsoft’s upcoming DirectX 12 API.
Since its a Maxwell-based GTX GPUs it has new features and one of them is NVIDIA Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI),
What is VXGI?
VXGI or Voxel Global Illumination improves 3D scenes by using a realistic lighting to make 3D scenes effective it introduced voxels or volume pixels which makes light interaction of 3D objects have a more dynamic contrast and photo-realistic experience.
Moving forward to the highlights of its features the Dynamic Super Resolution.
This feature makes an excellent viewing experience since it makes all monitor different sizes experience larger resolutions without needing a 4K UltraHD screen or a 1440p monitor. The Dynamic Super Resolution works by rendering in the desired resolution and then downscaling the image and applying a filter to the native monitor resolution for an improved image quality of the scene being rendered for an excellent viewing experience.
Now to the third support feature it doesn’t mean if you have good resolution means you’ll have a good time playing video games specially with high resolution games the MFAA or Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing helps you view a smoother viewing experience.
What is Anti-Aliasing?
Anti-Aliasing is a technology that removes a staircase or jaggy effect when you play a video game in real time making them appear smoother. Since resolution is made of millions of pixels it creates a jaggy or stair case effect what anti aliasing does it creates fake resolution to avoid the staircase effects specially to moving texts or moving objects.
Last but not the least is DirectX 12 API. I’m not to familiar with this feature and have no time to research but if I’m not mistaken this feature is for future advancement of newer resolution.
If Your a gamer a graphics designer or into photography and photo editing the ZOTAC gtx960 amp is highly recommended yo bring life into your game.
Cheers!
ZOTAC amp gtx960 is best for gaming and best for editing photos and videos afast smooth and powerful
This gonna be awesome.. i like the new added specs
Great Performance and Power efficiency
Great review & well written. <3 BACK2GAMING
It’s a great Video Card! One of the best gaming video cards for the next gen games 🙂

This is one of the best entry level card a well built card.
Cool new cooler fan + backplate = <3
i really want ittt
It’s foking Awesome!
nice core clock!
woah a good card with an awesome performance
Things to know about ZOTAC GTX 960 amp edition.
The GTX 960 series AMP edition hard ware specification has a dual-fan cooling system to prolonged the card with its factory overclocked speeds on top of that it has two times power efficiency. Plated with metal gear solid design to highlight the boring plain design most 960 doesnt have any back plate but this time they armored the card for battle for every day used.
Hope to win and get this card..thanks ZOTAC and back2 gaming.
The ZOTAC GTX 960 is built for those who would like to over clock and for those people who don’t do over clock. Over clocking motherboard and overclocking graphics card is a perfect match.
Thank you back2gaming and ZOTAC and BOSSMAC for making this possible.
This card, in my opinion, is the best price:performance ratio on the market as of this day. You can game on 1080p with most AAA title games with it easily. That’s what I like the best about this card. Oh, and that awesome-sauce back plate as well!
Thanks for back2gaming for giving us folks the chance to obtain this card!
well defined review, ZOTAC GTX 960 specs are awesome. hope to win this 🙂
That back-plate is pretty slick looking and the fans add to the aesthetics, as far as the performance, this thing is a beast.
Hey this card is awesome
wow is nice videocard is great performance i want to win this i want to play high end games like nba 2k15, dota 2 high settings, grand theft auto V and more….
thanks zotac and b2g to chance to win this i want to play high end games ^_^
Incredible card cheaper than any brand smarter than any brand cooler than any brand highly recommended.
Sana ako na manalo pang birthday lang sa june 3.
Great specifications made to last long good bundle for games plated with metal gear solid design amazing resolution beautiful design made to all who likes playing video games factory over clock.
This is one awesome giveaway, hope to win.. thanks for the chance.
What I love about the 960 AMP is that it could be my very first dedicated GPU. The only gaming experiences that I’ve had were on my old laptop’s GeForce G102M and my PC’s integrated HD 4400. So, it’s either this or just buy one of those old and cheap GT 730s. Love the curves on this version of the 960 btw. Thanks for this chance Zotac & Back2gaming.
salamat sa chance manalo ako ^_^
The review by BOSSMAC on ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION 2GB graphics card are the best review you ever seen specially the high light its primary features and hardware specifications.
When you look at the negative sides and positive sides this you’ll see it is worth of an investment all though the bundle game is not an issue since it is sold with an affordable price better having two games than no games and the primary point here is that the gpu and not the free bundles.
This card have been tested in the factory to extremely whether conditions and been stress out to extremely heat so in regards to cooling condition the fan of the card and cooling system is good to last long. User and marketing people just exaggerated things so that you will buy more expensive cards.
Check the list below this review is coming from BossMac.
POSITIVES
Solid performance
Quiet operation
Backplate included
Passive mode
Nice idle power draw
Single 6-pin PCI-e power only
Price
NEGATIVES
Excellent game bundle right now
Cooling could be better
I hope I win pang birthday gift lang sa akin this june3.
Nicely done with the review this gpu is good enough and should recommended for people who can’t afford to invest for great graphics card.
eto pala sinasabi mong review boss…..
Give me a chance to play witcher 3 pleasee 🙂
Astig!!
What I like the best besides the performance is the thermal output of it and the power consumption. I like that AMD is powerful and everything but I really don’t like how much power their cards want and the heat it gives. This card can manage high performance at a lower heat and with less power @ a great cost for people with a tight budget….talk about amazing!
I hope I win this graphics card this is one of the best gpu in the market. Performance and well built.
The best thing about this graphics card is that it can play the Witcher 3. We all know that The Witcher 3 is a pretty big game. If this graphics card can play this game. No need to question this graphics card. 10/10 for me
Just saw this and wanted to share. I really want to win this para pang birthday gift lang sa akin.
The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 AMP! Edition focuses on performance, function, and style. The new FREEZE technology disables the dual 90mm IceStorm cooler when idle to lower noise and extend the life of the fans while the metal gunmetal ExoArmor front shroud and wraparound backplate, help to minimize vibrations and enhance durability
Best value and it is a high-performance graphics card designed with gamers in mind. Powered by the next-generation NVIDIA Maxwell architecture ,the card delivers incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.
I want to win a ZOTAC GTX 960 AMP! EDITION from @Back2Gaming !– http://wp.me/pHDlS-b06
Thanks for the chance ZOTAC Philippines and Back2Gaming! I want to win GTX 960 AMP! EDITION!
bang for bucks card!!! great review, master!!!
GTX 960 or R9 380?
Depends on your primary concern:
Performance: R9 380
Efficiency/Longevity: GTX 960
To be specific, the GTX 960 from ZOTAC is offered with extended warranty up to 5 years, that’s a heck of long time. Performance margin between the R9 380 and GTX 960 is relatively small and will ultimately depend on what games you play. If you’re mostly on AAA games that are NVIDIA optimized, GTX 960 which is pretty much every game out right now.
I currently have the 4gb variant of this graphics card and I must say your review just gave me confidence in my cards ability. 🙂
