Following the official launch of the new mid-range Geforce GTX 960 graphics card, Gigabyte has announced no less than three different versions, all with factory overclock, and each targeting a specific market.
The list of Gigabyte GTX 960 graphics card lineup start with a compact GV-N960IXOC-2GD which features a dual-slot single-fan cooler and works at 1165MHz for GPU base, 1228MHz for GPU Boost and 7012MHz for 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.
Despite the fact that it features a shorter PCB and single-fan cooler, clocks on the GV-N960IXOC-2GD are still higher than reference 1127/1178/7012 MHz, but it also comes with slightly less display outputs and includes two DVI, single HDMI and single DisplayPort outputs.
It is quite obvious that Gigabyte is targeting small form-factor (SFF) PCs and HTPCs and the GV-N960IXOC-2GD might be perfect for such a system.
The next in line is the GV-N960WF2OC-2GD with a standard PCB and Gigabyte's dual-fan WindForce 2X cooler and slightly higher factory-overclock with 1216MHz for the GPU base and 1279MHz for the GPU Boost clock. The 2GB of GDDR5 memory still remained at reference 7012MHz. It also features a full line of display outputs including two DVI, one HDMI and three DisplayPort outputs, and will probably be the most popular GTX 960 in Gigabyte's range.
The last but definitely not the least is the GV-N960G1GAMING-2GD, also known as the Gigabyte GTX 960 G1.Gaming, which we had a chance to play with in our lab and publish a review yesterday. As noted in the review, the GTX 960 G1.Gaming comes with the well known Gigabyte WindForce 3X triple-fan cooler, same one we have seen on some Gigabyte's higher-end graphics cards.
