Galax GTX 960 Models $79 to $99 New

[Leyawiin]

They're clearing them out at their US web store. 2GB and 4GB models for only $79 to $99. Wow. That's about as good as you can do for a budget GPU. Must be getting ready for the GTX 1050

That really is cheap for that powerful of a card. Ive been running with a 660 for years now which has been sufficiently powerful or else I would upgrade.

I've bought from their store - it takes about four days to get your order and they send it FedEx ground so there is a shipping charge like $14-$17, but no sales tax unless you live in Illinois. Even with the shipping they come in way under any other GTX 960 and well under the cheapest GTX 950 or RX 460 which a GTX 960 will spank.

I jumped on the deal. $112.43 shipped is a great price for a GTX 960 4GB.
Going to throw it in my second computer. My main computer already is running a GTX 1070.

Thanks OP!

Very nice, for the price. I went for 2 of the 4GB mini gamer cards, shipping only increased by $0.30 or so over one. Was looking at the 1060's for an upgrade, but the 6GB versions are expensive, and the 3GB version seems limited. At less than half the price of a 3GB 1060, these guys definitely give you a bang for the buck. Now I need to craigslist some older cards I suddenly have...

Is this deal for overseas only? I added the GTX 960 EXOC 4GB BLACK EDITION to my cart and it went good but when I went to checkout I got an error saying "There is no shipping option for the address you entered. Please go back and check the address.".

What are we expecting the price of the 1050 to be? I want to jump on this but I might want to wait if the 1050 is in the mid-low $100s.

 

[Leyawiin]

If the GTX 950 was any indication at launch probably $150-$160.

Received a shipping confirmation email for my GTX 960 4GB EXOC. Coming from Illinois to Oregon - be here next Friday.

Seriously? I live in Illinois and couldn't place an order because of the error I posted above.

Dunno - I ordered two cards early today before they sold out and it went off without a hitch. They went from five models to zero in less than two days.

1050 for $119 and 1050Ti for $149.

For those who missed this deal, don't worry. It's better to wait 3-4 months and buy a GTX1060 3GB / RX 480 4GB for $160 than to buy a GTX960 4GB for $110 (I saw 960 4GB going for $95 + $15 or so shipping). The performance delta between GTX960 and RX 480/1060 is gigantic, almost 80%. Without any special sale, the 1060 3GB is already $190.

Buying a GTX960 for $100-110 now means spending yet another $100+ later on just to get to GTX1060/RX 480's level of performance. Ironically, it's simply better to buy a $180-200 card upfront and just enjoy it over the next 2-2.5 years. This is almost reminiscent of PC gamers who bought GTX960 at launch and now upgraded to RX 480/GTX1060. Back then they could have just purchased a GTX970/R9 290 in the first place and skipped RX 480/1060 entirely. I have the exact same advice for 1050/1050Ti and RX 460 -- all 3 cards are worth skipping completely for RX 470/480/1060. The sub-$150 desktop dGPU market is simply dying - the value is no longer there.

Only RS could come along and crap on the best deal I've seen on a budget card in a while. Not everyone wants to shell out $180-$200 for a card nor does everyone want to wait "three to four months" for some claim that the GTX 1060 3GB and RX 480 4GB "might" be $160 (which I find unlikely given how early in the product cycle they are). For many (as in the ones who scooped this deal up almost instantly) a $90-$110 card (with shipping) that's 15% to 20% faster than an RX 460 is fine... even with the GTX 1050 coming. Also, given the typical Nvidia tax at launch I find it hard to believe they'll go for $119 initially.

As far as the GTX 1050 Ti goes, its expected to have GTX 960 performance, only without a power connector. So in my case where I got the GTX 960 EXOC 4GB for $98 shipped (no tax) and it performs as well as Nvidia's new $150 card exactly how did I (or anyone who ordered) go wrong? Its preposterous to insinuate we somehow did because of what I imagine is a bias you've had against this card since launch. That may have been the case @ $199.99 back then but its beyond silly when we're talking about the same 2GB card @ $79.99 plus shipping today.
