Based on current gaming requirements the GeForce GTX 960 Galax EXOC White 2GB Edition is considered one of the weakest cards and wont meet modern AAA game specs.

Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 12 requirement.

Here is a performance review on how capable the GeForce GTX 960 Galax EXOC White 2GB Edition is at running the more popular games of 2022. Specifically looking at this PC hardware’s ability to get suitable frames per second to play on Ultra game settings and what FPS it might get on 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen res. This card runs recommended graphics requirements of 172 games from the top 1000 most demanding games being played today.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the GeForce GTX 960 Galax EXOC White 2GB Edition performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title Far Cry 6 and saw it deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 0 FPS, Medium: 0 FPS, High: 0 FPS and Ultra: 0 FPS. We proceeded to look at Back 4 Blood to see how that compared and saw that it returned a playable 28 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

Increasing resolution to 1440p is something a number of PC gamers are doing today. We tested the GeForce GTX 960 Galax EXOC White 2GB Edition at 1440p with Far Cry 6, which got a weak set of FPS results. These were, Low: 0 FPS, Medium: 0 FPS, High: 0 FPS and Ultra: 0 FPS. We then checked out Back 4 Blood which had a set of graphics results as followed, L: 56FPS, M: 44FPS, H: 30FPS, U: 21FPS. And another popular game was Grand Theft Auto VI with predictions of L: 0FPS, M: 0FPS, H: 0FPS, U: 0FPS at 1440p. Getting popular modern games to run at 1440p on the GeForce GTX 960 Galax EXOC White 2GB Edition is going to underperform if you try and run modern games.
