Though this card does boast of a better build quality than previous generation of the 60-class graphics cards, operating temperatures are a bit higher. You can easily calibrate the fans to correspond to a different load line using any of the overclocking software that manufacturer's provide and take care of this minor hiccup and get a pretty decent graphics card for the money.
This particular SKU has some element of the chassis covering the PCB from all sides and there are two fans for the cooler, both of which have blades angled to ensure higher static pressure. Despite all of this the peak load temperature was 75 degrees Celsius which is a little too much. Overall, it’s a nice thing to see midrange cards getting a lot more love. Performance wise this card is in the vicinity of every other GTX 960 and at a price of Rs. 17,490 it becomes a more attractive option.
