Sources and verification

Specifications for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 were checked against the linked source material. Last verified .

The original 2 GB GDDR5 configuration remains first and supplies the scalar memory aliases. NVIDIA's February 2016 linecard confirms a later 4 GB GDDR5 configuration but gives no exact variant availability date. NVIDIA publishes 112 GB/sec for the 2 GB reference card while EVGA publishes 112.16 GB/s for the cited reference-clock 4 GB card. NVIDIA publishes 120 W under Graphics Card Power (W); the structured field follows the repository NVIDIA convention and labels it TGP. Exact NVIDIA reference dimensions are 4.376 inches high, 9.5 inches long and Dual-width. Metric length and width remain absent because the reviewed first-party source does not publish them and this research does not calculate values. Dual-width is represented as two slots. Partner connectors and board dimensions can vary. The image context comes from a reviewed owner-supplied local PALIT manufacturer image and is not asserted by these specification sources.
