This card meets game requirements up to DirectX 12. At least gaming tests look good, which can be seen in the next section below, but still we don’t have any noticeable changes in the average FPS.Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI Performance Reviewīased on current gaming requirements the GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI is considered one of the weakest cards and wont meet modern AAA game specs. We too think that the higher price of the new GPU doesn’t compensate for the little performance. You can see from the charts below that the GTX 960M has just 8% performance leap compared to its predecessor, which can be considered low for some. As for now, we can apply some useful results from benchmark tests and gaming tests. Other notable specs are, 2GB GDDR5 memory, 128-bit memory width, 640 CUDA cores (shading units) and memory clock of 1253MHz. Just by looking at the values we can expect some extra heat, but we will check that in our upcoming detailed review. However, we’ve got higher clock (1097MHz vs 797MHz base) and as for the boost frequency, it’s 1176MHz vs 915MHz. Unfortunately we cannot know for sure which GPU is used in the 960M, but we can assume that it uses the GM107 chip, which can be found in last year’s GTX 860M. Moving on to the “good part” where we can analyse in-depth the new GTX 960M. Also, you can expect a detailed review on the refreshed VN7 Nitro Black Edition notebook with this GPU, so stay tuned. Despite the flagship position of the Aspire VN7 Nitro Black Edition in its gaming lineup, this notebook is quite affordable for its characteristics. The GTX 960M is considered as high class or some of you may rate it as upper-mid class, since it’s placed mostly in budget gaming laptops like this one. The long awaited mobile graphics card GTX 960M from NVIDIA is here and we had the privilege to test it and see how far has the vendor come with its new GPU lineup.
