In an effort to make sorting through all the results as easy as possible we have combined the results all of all the game results into an easy to digest summary format. By comparing it to similar products in all the games you will be able to easily find the game(s) you are interested in, see the improvement and decide if it is the worth the investment.MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G 51MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G 52While MSI has not fully unleashed their Gaming 2 GTX 960 video card, it still is a fantastic performer. Better still its lower price makes it a fantastic value oriented performer!

Score Card and Summary

Packaging & Accessories:8 out of 10

The packaging for the Gaming 2 is classic MSI “Gaming” series. That is to say its blend of good looks, good protection, and good information is a winning one. Unfortunately MSI really does not include much in the way of accessories, but for the price it still is darn decent.

Functionality & Aesthetics: 17 out of 20
The aesthetics are a touch on the aggressive side for our personal tastes, but there is no denying it is still an attention getting card. Mix in that excellent custom heatsink design and the end result is a lot of happy customers. The only consumer who will not be happy is smaller case owners who may have issues with the oversized dimensions.

Build Quality & Warranty: 18 out of 20
If there is any area that could be improved upon it is in the warranty department. Much like the Gaming 6 980Ti, the Gaming 2’s three warranty is the only thing ‘average’ about this video card. On the positive side, overclocking is covered by the warranty so you can push it for three worry free years.

Performance: 25 out of 30
For a 960 this card does have excellent performance, but we know there is a lot more that MSI has not unleashed – and that is a shame.

Value: 19 out of 20
This card is stuffed to the gills with value. For only six dollars you get one heck of a card compared to a reference GTX 960!

Final Score: 87 out of 100

MSI’s combination of excellent cooling potential and excellent value makes for one potent combination. If you are looking for a 960 with tons of potential the MSI Gaming 2 should be on your short list.
