La GeForce GTX 960M è una soluzione interessante per gli utenti più parsimoniosi che in particolare non vogliono spendere più di 1500 Euro (~$1582) per un nuovo notebook. Resterete abbastanza contenti della GTX 960M se non vi importa di dover ridurre qualche impostazione se necessario e se non volete giocare a qualsiasi gioco con anti-aliasing attivato.

Le prestazioni del chip Maxwell non sono a prova di futuro. La piccola interfaccia di memoria e i soli 2 GB di memoria video saranno un frequente fattore limitativo nel prossimo paio di anni. E' possibile notare già questo problema con la GTX 965M. Se pensate di comprare un nuovo notebook ogni 1-2 anni o - come abbiamo detto prima - se potete scendere a qualche compromesso in termini di dettagli e risoluzione, allora la GTX 960M è una buona scelta.

Dobbiamo cricare Nvidia per il prezzo. Pensiamo che sia la GTX 980M che la GTX 965M o GTX 960M, rispettivamente, siano un po' troppo costose. Basandoci su un rapporto prezzo-prestazioni ci sentiamo di raccomandare la GTX 970M agli appassionati di gaming: E' quasi il 45% più veloce della GTX 965M ma costa solo 100 Euro (~$105) di più (upgrade @P/W/U-series).
