Today we looked at the EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB graphics card which comes with a hefty 153MHz factory overclock that raises GPU base frequency from 1126MHz to 1279MHz. All GTX 960 boards launched today ship with 2GB of memory, and all Nvidia board partners decided to offer a wide range of GTX 960 cards using their own custom board designs on launch day. EVGA showed four different GTX 960 cards.

EVGA is not only Nvidia partner to offer factory overclocked Geforce GTX 960 boards, with clock speeds in excess of 1300MHz. In order to offer a unique and more competitive product, EVGA decided to use the redesigned ACX 2.0+ cooler, along with a custom PCB design, 6+2 power design and 8-pin power connector. All this adds up to a very good overclocking platform. Therefore we were able to increase the clock and GTX 960 SuperSC was able to hit speeds of 1529MHz.

We did not increase voltages, but this can be done using the PrecisionX tool. Should you choose to increase the voltage, you can look forward to even higher clocks. The memory was also eager to play ball and we ended up with an effortless 450MHz overclock.

The EVGA GTX 960 SSC provides a good combination of performance, price, and power efficiency. The GeForce GTX 960 has been designed to deliver a great 1080p gaming experience with the graphics settings cranked up and FXAA, MFAA, or 4xAA enabled. The GeForce GTX 960 will even deliver playable frame rates with 4K DSR when playing MOBA games like League of Legends.

In stock form, the GeForce GTX 960 is 50% faster than the GeForce GTX 660, making it a tremendous upgrade for gamers who haven’t upgraded their card in more than two years. However, the GTX 960 pulls even further away from its predecessor once it’s overclocked. EVGA GTX 960 SSC is great card if you want factory overclocked card or the card that will follow you during additional overclocking, and stay relatively quiet even then.

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+ should be available immediately with an MSRP of €229.90 in Europe and US $209.99 (exc. VAT) in the USA.
