We normally test power demand direct from the VGA card input, with our Keithley Integra unit. Today however we decided to go with a more traditional approach – measuring system wide load, minus the monitor. The system we are using for this review today is detailed HERE.
The MSI GTX960 Gaming 2G OC Edition system demands 187 watts under load, a couple of watts less than the Asus GTX960 Strix OC Edition under the same conditions.

Arkane Studios and Blade might get cut after all
In recent weeks, we have heard an increasing number of worrying reports concerning Xbox and its supposed plans to hold major rounds of firing – possibly resulting in the closure of multiple studios. While nothing official has come to pass, insiders have claimed that one of the projects potentially being affected is Arkane Studios’ much-anticipated Blade.
Fully agree. It’s the reason I won’t buy another MSI “Gaming” card. I have to use the Gaming App or Afterburner to OC my GTX 760 Gaming card to get the clock speeds MSI advertise. This is silly. I want to install a card and forget it. I need an upgrade for my kids’ HTPC/Gaming rig but don’t want to have to select the OC every time we turn it on. You were right to test this card at the out of box clocks. MSI need to learn from this. Asus card for me next, once the GTX 960 Ti comes out! That’ll be a worthy upgrade to our GTX 650 Ti.
