00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:23,000
welcome to my unboxing and review of the ASUS GeForce GTX 760 Mars now it might

2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,519
seem like a regular GTX 760 except that that one comes in a package that looks a

3
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,359
little something like this so no this is something special with the Mars branding

4
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:36,280
on there we know we're getting something Rog and something a little bit different

5
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:39,640
so Inside the Box packed in nice soft

6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:43,360
closed cell foam we get the GTX 760 Mars

7
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,480
which has a gorgeous direct cu2 style

8
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:49,079
cooler on it with Rog color scheming and

9
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:56,440
branding all over it and under that we get not one but two GeForce GTX 760

10
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:03,239
cores each of them equipped with 2 gigs of memory clocked at 6 GHz each of them

11
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:06,159
clocked at a base of 1,6 MHz and a boost

12
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:10,119
of 1072 although guys we do of course overclock the card for our performance

13
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:16,200
evaluation later and having a total allog together of

14
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,119
2,34 Cuda cor it also has a much better

15
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:25,200
power implementation with a 12 phase super alloy power Digi plus vrm system

16
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,040
as well as just an overall Better Built

17
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,400
high quality non-reference board so for example they're using their Black

18
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Metallic caps which are rated at 10,000 hours of Lifetime at

19
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,920
105° C it also has a full back plate

20
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,840
unlike the reference GTX 690 which does a couple of things so you might be able

21
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,680
to argue that it helps with heat dissipation a little bit but um but what

22
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,119
it also does is it actually protects the components on the back and gives more

23
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:54,439
rigidity to the card so that it's less likely to flex speaking of rigidity to

24
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:57,240
the card it has almost none because on the back of the card it has a back plate

25
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:00,880
and on the front of the card it has almost a full unic sync that actually

26
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,039
does contri contribute to cooling because it is being actively cooled by

27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,360
the two fans that are blowing air towards it on the top of the card we

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:14,959
find a single SLI finger this means that the card is compatible with quad SLI if

29
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:20,480
you're running an additional ASUS GTX 760 Mars and we find the illuminated

30
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:23,920
logo so there's a beautiful Mars logo that lights up when the card is

31
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,400
installed in your case and powered speaking of power we've got two PCI

32
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Express 8 Pin connectors if your power supply doesn't have two eight pins don't

33
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,200
worry they do include a dual six pin to 8 Pin adapter although if your card

34
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:38,920
doesn't have dual 8 pins you might not necessarily want to be running a card

35
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:44,720
like this because power consumption is high it actually consumes more power

36
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,440
than a GTX 780 Ti and as you guys will

37
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,519
see in our performance testing the performance is pretty similar these two

38
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,760
fans here are their dust proof design fans so this offers extended longevity

39
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,640
and so they'll basically just last longer without sounding terrible and the

40
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:04,480
full top shroud is finished in a gorgeous soft touch field with aluminum

41
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,720
anodized red accents that just I mean

42
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,519
guys let's face it this card won't

43
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:16,000
perform that differently from two GTX 760 direct cu2s but what it does do is

44
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,480
it adds The Bling Bling so let's get into performance numbers what do we

45
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:24,280
compare something like this against well ausa's own numbers reference Titan a lot

46
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:31,120
but I don't think that makes a lot of sense because Titan is significantly more expensive and has been usurped by

47
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,599
the GTX 780 Ti which is cheaper and

48
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,000
better performing than Titan when it comes to gaming applications so we ran

49
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:43,080
our own tests and we included the r9290 as sort of our value high performance

50
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:45,840
option as well as NVIDIA's own GTX 780

51
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:50,680
and 780 Ti to give us a pretty clear picture of how it Stacks up now because

52
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,920
it's priced pretty similar to a 780 Ti it shouldn't surprise you guys that in

53
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,280
our test Suite which hopefully we're going to have up on the screen right now

54
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:03,720
it performs very similarly to a GeForce GTX 780 Ti with that said there are some

55
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,400
caveats so number one is the fact that power consumption is going to be higher

56
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,720
than an individual card number two is the fact that you're going to have some

57
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,639
behaviors that are not as desirable as you might get from an individual

58
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:20,840
higher-end card SLI doesn't scale perfectly so there will be situations

59
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:24,440
where this card will perform extremely well and there will be other ones where

60
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,960
it just doesn't perform that well or where to get stability you will even

61
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,720
have to disable a GPU and you are effectively reducing the performance

62
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,919
that you can get out of it I do generally recommend that you run a

63
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,520
single more powerful card rather than running SLI until you're at the point

64
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:42,800
where you're already buying the most powerful single GPU available at which

65
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:49,120
point if you really need more performance you can add another one the other issue with SLI is that even though

66
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,320
this card has four gigs of memory on it only two gigs can be used effectively

67
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,680
because you have to duplicate the data that stored in the frame buffer that is

68
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:03,680
allocated to each GPU whereas GeForce GTX 780ti has 3 gigs of memory all of

69
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:09,000
which is usable and all of that even ignores the fact that like we said

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,840
before you could buy two GTX 70s which

71
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,080
would be less expensive to get about the same performance and present a much more

72
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:23,360
compelling value option than something like a 760 Mars so who is the Mars made

73
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:26,000
for and the answer is the same person

74
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:32,360
that every other Mars and every other Aries series Rog card from ASUS is made

75
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,039
for someone who values the form of the

76
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,919
card someone who values The Prestige of owning one of their top tier Ro class

77
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,800
cards I mean the engineering that goes into building these cards is very very

78
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:47,400
admirable and they look the part so I

79
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,240
think that pretty much wraps things up thank you for checking out our unboxing

80
00:05:48,919 --> 00:05:54,759

video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment if you want

82
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:04,520
to let us know what you thought I mean what would you buy out these three

83
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,639
options 780 Ti Mar 760 or just two sort

84
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,680
of less expensive 70s and compromise

85
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:15,240
those additional two PCI Express slots CU this at least fits when in the form

86
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:18,039
factor of one card and as always don't

87
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,039
