I just got a GTX960 as well, definitely recommend it as a good card for the money. Pretty much 60fps in anything that is out at the moment.
But the caveat on that is that is at 1080, 1440 it might struggle with everything on Max for some titles and you may need to turn the odd thing down a bit.

Good card, uses less power and it quieter than my 6950 it replaced.

The GTX 960 is a solid buy, it is on par or within 10% of GTX 770 in most tests which is impressive considering the 770 has more shaders/TMU's.

For those who got the 960 - how big is the physical card? That is, dimensions wise, if my case is a bit small (its a Dell XPS 8700 with an AMD R270), will the card fit in there?

Just curious.

Btw, it is a great card, i have been reading the reviews for quite some time and am quite impressed, especially with the power sipping nature of the card!

Mine was quite long (2 fans), but they did offer a short version

I got the Asus Strix version of the card. Compared to a 6950 it is only about 2/3 the length.

It is only 8.5 inches long, which is pretty short compared to the previous generation cards of the same power.
I now have a few inches of spare room I did not have before.

After having it for a while now, absolutely no complaints. I can't hear it, and I have a pretty quiet CPU fan (Noctua DH14) to begin with.

I will probably be sticking a 960 into the small computer I use with the TV if I cant get HDMI from my gaming machine to it to work reliably. Cheapest card with HDMI 2.0 on it that I can find.
