QTHREE GeForce GTX 960 4GB GDDR5
The Maxwell-based GTX 960 with 4GB of GDDR5 memory and a 1152MHz boost clock still handles 1080p gaming at 60Hz in many titles. Its dual-fan cooling solution keeps the 120W TDP card quiet and cool, while multi-monitor support via HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI adds flexibility for productivity. This card is best for budget-conscious builders needing a reliable, low-power GPU for older AAA games or a basic multi-display workstation.
