Which begs the question, is there any sign of obvious cost-cutting on this particular model? Well, the truth is that in direct comparison with our existing 2GB SKU - MSI's Gaming 2G model - it's actually a bit of a peach. And that price-point is significant, because it's pretty much the same cost as many of the other GTX 960s on the market - cards that only feature the standard 2GB allocation. The card in question is Gigabyte's GV-N960OC-4GD and we bought it ourselves from Amazon for £160. However, in line with its AMD counterpart - the R9 380 - 4GB variants are now available, and we've finally acquired one. On launch, we lauded its power efficiency, overclocking and cutting-edge media acceleration but we had two issues: firstly, there was no clear win over the competition in terms of performance, and secondly, it was a 2GB card in a world where console-level visuals were starting to demand a 3GB minimum. We have unfinished business with Nvidia's GTX 960.
