The GTX 960 also includes a H.265 capable de- and encoder as a first. The GM206 supports CUDA, 3D Vision, PhysX, GeForce Experience, Surround, GameStream, GPU Boost 2.0, Adaptive Vertical Sync / G-SYNC, SLI, DSR, MFAA and Virtual Reality latency improvements. In our benchmarks only GTA 5 and The Witcher 3 achieved below 30 fps on average (see below for detailed benchmarks).

The performance of the GTX 960 should be suffice for most games in full HD resolution.

The similar named GeForce GTX 960M for notebooks offers only 640 shader cores and a slightly lower core clock. The 970M offers more shader cores, but at a lower clock speed.

Compared to laptop graphics cards, the 960 is slightly faster than a mobile Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. On average the gaming performance is on a level with the AMD Radeon R9 280 and R9 285. The graphics memory is usually 2 or 4 GB GDDR5 (7 GHz effective clock) connected with a 128 Bit interface. The GTX960 offers 1024 shader cores, 64 TMUs and 32 ROPs (no deactivated units of the chip). It is based on the GM206 Maxwell chip that is produced in 28nm.
