The MSI GTX960 Gaming 2G OC ships in a instantly recognisable box featuring their Dragon logo. Some details are highlighted on the front of the box – including the Twin Frozr V cooler.
The rear of the box highlights some of the technology behind the design, which we will detail shortly.
Inside the box are some power and video converters, a software disc and literature on the product.
The MSI GTX960 Gaming 2G OC is built on a black PCB and features two fans which are surrounded by a red and black shroud.
Its a very attractive looking graphics card – similar to other models in the MSI range we have reviewed before. The thick heatpipes are visible spanning most of the length of the PCB.
The I/O panel is equipped with a single DVI connector, three DisplayPort connectors and a single HDMI connector.
Nvidia's reference GTX960 design takes power from a single 6 pin power connector, but MSI have opted for a higher spec 8 pin connector. Normally the reason for this is to provide stability under heavily overclocked situations.
The solution is SLI capable, with one connector available for dual card configurations.
The cooler is comprised of three thick nickel plated copper heatpipes which run into rack of aluminum fins on either side. This is not a direct touch design however.
