Gtx 760

[toyota]

it does not "overclock" for you. it runs at certain factory specs and the max boost clocks may vary slightly from card to card.

there is still easily at least another 15% left in the 760 so its silly not to use it. its so easy to oc the card the card too and will not get damaged as voltage is locked.

 

[jacktesterson]

um because its a different gpu. and why do you have 760 sli listed in your sig if you dont even own them?

You've kinda mentioned or allotted to this in several threads now. Why is this bothering you so much?

660 is GK106

760 is GK104 (Same as higher end SKU's such as 770/680/670

GK106 is based on a mainstream SKU and is more efficient

what are you talking about? what is bothering me? the fact that he always claims every couple of weeks to be getting a different gpu? yes that bothers me because its silly after several months. anyway he asked why 760 requires 2 6 pins and that's because its a different gpu than the smaller 660.

Please...

I had 286 back in the old days, with the "BOOST" button to overclock it. The only new thing this gen is its designed ground up to automatically overclock itself with predefined limits.

the Kepler cards are not "overclocking" for you. those are clocks that the gpu will already go to in its factory settings. those are called max boost clocks and again they can vary slighlty but not enough to matter. we know from reviews how the card performs but there is room for the card to actually be overclocked if chooses to do so.

Have you got a hard-on for me or what. You're really getting on my nerves with your trolling my posts. I'm buying 2 eVGA GTX 760 4GB for a total of $620 on layaway. I'm paying them off at $150 a month so, technically, I do own them. Not everybody's rich like you, [redacted].

Lets keep this civil guys, and back on topic. OP, 7950s are good cards, but even better considering the OC potential.

 

[brandonmatic]

Another reason to consider the GTX 760 is the amazing cooling -- especially the MSI card. I generally prefer AMD and the higher OC performance and RAM of the 7950, but I'm seriously considering an MSI 760 because of the unparalleled acoustics -- dual 100mm fans spinning at low RPMs that are virtually silent at idle and load. I only wish there was a 7950/7970 with this type of cooler.

Powercolor has dual large fans since launch on the 7950. The PCS+ ed is nice an quiet. Their recent V2 models are even better.

My GTX 760 only requires an 8pin.

Yes the Asus one has a single 8pin. What I am wondering is why a 170watt part needs an 8+6pin.

 

[Mr Expert]

Thanx for jacking my thread guy's. I think someone needs a ban.

That isn't your decision to make.

lol rich? no I just thought it was funny that you continuously claimed to be getting something different every week or so.

Some slick detective work there.

Yes, it seems odd that certain manufacturers have designed their part to accept both 8 and 6 pin at 170watt unless their card is flying higher than 170watt?

Asus has proven that you only need 8pin to run it so something strange is happening...

This card must be allot more of a power hog than people are letting in seem. Only Ultra High end cards and special edition OCing cards used 8pin power connectors in the past.

if it has a single 8 pin then that is no different than have dual 6 pins.

I was referring to the ASUS. there is really no reason to have 6 and 8 pin on the 760 as even with overclocking it will not exceed 225 watts. it would probably be close in some cases though so they feel the need to put those there to give users some confidence I guess.

Don Karnage had a new card every week. lol

I would have to advise against radeons this generation IF you do not OC. They do not offering superior value at stock clocks. The gtx760 is the best for the non overclocker, it does the overclocking for you with boost and generally run in the 1.1ghz range in games, well above its default.

Radeons are only good when you consider their massive OC potential.

They don't have massive OC potetntial. It's like an extra 5fps so no that big. People blow OCing out of proportion. The HD 7950 is the best vaule going and the GTX 760 is right there along side it. They perform the same clock for clock.

not at all. clock for clock HD 7970 > HD 7950 > GTX 770/GTX 680 > GTX 670 > GTX 760.
average OCing HD 7950 at 1.15 Ghz is faster than a golden GTX 760(1.3 Ghz).

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/07/02/msi_n760_tf_2gd5oc_gtx_760_overclocking_review/5

above average OC HD 7950(1.2 Ghz) = GTX 670(1.3 Ghz) a golden HD 7950(1.3 Ghz) trades blows against a golden GTX 770(1.3 Ghz) but on average wins more than loses.

 

[amenx]

To OP, some factory OC'd cards may have extra pin connectors vs ref cards but that doest mean they need them. 2 x 6-pin = 150w + 75w pcie slot = 225w. I doubt, even with OCing it will draw near 225w. Reason is many people have 680s (TDP= 195w) OC'd to the gills and most of these cards are 2 x 6-pins. So if they can get by, so should you with a 760. Just plug in the 2 6-pins and try it out your self, run 3Dmark for a few runs for peace of mind. Pretty sure it wont even flinch.

p.s. imo, the 8-pin connector is just for marketing purposes, to make it appear that the card can be OC'd higher than others without power issues. Its BS imo.

 

[ZGR]

The performance jump from 7850 to the GTX 760 won't be that much. Just saying.
If you want a bigger jump I'd say crossfiring your 7850. But that would mean a new PSU as well.

there you go again with with your inaccurate generalizations.

here is a 760 that was already oced from the factory and still gained another 20% when overclocked making it a whopping 25% faster than a stock 760. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_760_TF_Gaming/30.html
