    No problem buddy :)
    It's a nice choice 4gb memory and 1gb cuda cores nice base and boost clocks
    So it is twice the memory than the 2 prior gtx's we posted but is still a good card and of course budget always rules the day

    If you want register the card with evga sign in and download Precision x for free and control it if you feel the need too
    I don't use it on my evga 980 hybrid but it's there if you feel the need too
    Cheers.

    I would usually only use something like Precision x/ gpu tweak for the built in gaming mode which is an easy oc if a game might require a bit more boost.
    You can only do so much in NVidia control panel.

    Well I didn't remember but Precision x does not have a gaming mode like gpu tweak does,
    But just installing precision x did make my hybrid preform a little better,

    Did you change the setting or did you just let the program change them (auto)?

    Hi,
    I didn't change anything just installed Precision x 16's most recent version and got a slight bump :)
    I wish it was like gpu tweak with the gaming mode it is too freaking easy to activate and switch back to default mode :/
    gpu tweak is a asus utility which I use on my x99 build with the asus 980-P 20th anniversary gold
    Precision x is now on my Acer transplant where gaming isn't expected.

    I recommend you try to get the card you want directly from EVGA.

    The one you chose is out of stock, but if you`re in no hurry you can keep an eye on it for awhile.

    This one is a bit more, but in stock now.

    EVGA - Products - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW GAMING ACX 2.0+ - 04G-P4-3969-KR

    And Jack, stay with a 4 GB card.

    Thanks for the information.
    Just checked. The card is being shipped as I type.

    Edit:
    I can't ordere from EVGA. I don't use credit cards or Paypal or anything like them.

    Yea I don't buy from evga either it's usually cheaper at Newegg... anyway plus you don't have to mess with evga's horrible supply baiting
    But yes nothing like a local retailers for goods :)

    Ya it depends where you live, Newegg charges me tax, so anything expensive like a card is out of the question from them, EVGA, Corsair, Tigerdirect, etc don`t tax me.

    Micro Center is a half hour away plus bridge toll and they have diddly squat when it comes to stock, I only use them to purchase new CPU`s
