Released June, 2013
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
- 980 MHz
- 2 GB GDDR5
7.6 Out of 10
by techPowerUp!Gigabyte says their card will retail at the reference design price of $250, which is quite nice since you get a decent overclock out of the box for free, and get to enjoy the improved WindForce 3X cooler.

7.2 Out of 10
by Clever (Feb, 2013)Power usage has dropped nicely from the SLI 460's i used to eat about 700 to 800 watts, fro the wall, with my server (only eats 130) and the main rig when the system is under load, now its 470 to 500 with this one card.

Benchmarks Real world tests of GeForce GTX 760 vs 660
Passmark Industry standard benchmark for overall graphics card performance
GeForce GTX 660 | by justing6 (Jan, 2013)While attatched by an HDMI cable and powered by an external power supply, my laptop still gets a 7.9 for video and this 3DMark score.
3DMark Vantage (Texture Fill) Industry standard benchmark that tests DirectX performance
GeForce GTX 660 | by SullyI haven't even seen one hiccup and I ran it through 3dMark11, Furmark, Kombuster, and a few 6 hour gaming sessions.
Crysis: Warhead (2013) 1920x1080 - Enthusiast Quality + 4xAA
GeForce GTX 760 | by techPowerUp!Set decades after the events of Crysis 2, you wake up from a stasis pod to find long lost friend and squadmate "Psycho" who explains how C.E.L.L has virtually taken over the world by monopolizing energy production in Crysis 3.
Far Cry 3 1920 x 1080 - Ultra Quality + 4x MSAA + Enh. AtoC
GeForce GTX 760 | by techPowerUp!In a nutshell, Far Cry 3 is everything gamers missed in Far Cry 2 (after Crytek was tossed out of the franchise by Ubisoft) and even Crysis 2 (in which Crytek swaps the tropical paradise setting for grim, apocalyptic New York).
