With the specifications and details of the new GM206 GPU available in our overview, let's get down to the specifics of how Gaming looks and performs.

If you've already seen our ASUS Strix review then the most obvious difference is the size of the MSI Gaming. Rather than the GTX750Ti sized PCB, MSI have gone for a full length PCB which enables them to utilise their Gaming Twin Frozr cooler that we all love so much.

Stuffed full of heatpipes and with good fin density, the cooler should have plenty of capacity to keep the efficient little GM206 cool under even the most demanding of circumstances. We like the little MSI logo too. Obvious without dominating.

It's a little disappointing not to see a backplate included with the Gaming. It tidies things up nicely we think. Still the MSI GTX960 Gaming is hardly a bad looking card, just not quite as pretty as the Strix.
