00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:23.000
welcome to my unboxing and review of the ASUS GeForce GTX 760 Mars now it might

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

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:30.359
little something like this so no this is something special with the Mars branding

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:36.280
on there we know we're getting something Rog and something a little bit different

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:39.640
so Inside the Box packed in nice soft

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:43.360
closed cell foam we get the GTX 760 Mars

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:46.480
which has a gorgeous direct cu2 style

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.079
cooler on it with Rog color scheming and

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:56.440
branding all over it and under that we get not one but two GeForce GTX 760

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

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:06.159
clocked at a base of 1,6 MHz and a boost

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:10.119
of 1072 although guys we do of course overclock the card for our performance

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:16.200
evaluation later and having a total allog together of

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:19.119
2,34 Cuda cor it also has a much better

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:25.200
power implementation with a 12 phase super alloy power Digi plus vrm system

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.040
as well as just an overall Better Built

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.400
high quality non-reference board so for example they're using their Black

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:37.520
Metallic caps which are rated at 10,000 hours of Lifetime at

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:39.920
105° C it also has a full back plate

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:42.840
unlike the reference GTX 690 which does a couple of things so you might be able

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:46.680
to argue that it helps with heat dissipation a little bit but um but what

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.119
it also does is it actually protects the components on the back and gives more

00:01:48.119 --> 00:01:54.439
rigidity to the card so that it's less likely to flex speaking of rigidity to

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

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:00.880
and on the front of the card it has almost a full unic sync that actually

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:05.039
does contri contribute to cooling because it is being actively cooled by

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:09.360
the two fans that are blowing air towards it on the top of the card we

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:14.959
find a single SLI finger this means that the card is compatible with quad SLI if

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:20.480
you're running an additional ASUS GTX 760 Mars and we find the illuminated

00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:23.920
logo so there's a beautiful Mars logo that lights up when the card is

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.400
installed in your case and powered speaking of power we've got two PCI

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:31.440
Express 8 Pin connectors if your power supply doesn't have two eight pins don't

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.200
worry they do include a dual six pin to 8 Pin adapter although if your card

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:38.920
doesn't have dual 8 pins you might not necessarily want to be running a card

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:44.720
like this because power consumption is high it actually consumes more power

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.440
than a GTX 780 Ti and as you guys will

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.519
see in our performance testing the performance is pretty similar these two

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:54.760
fans here are their dust proof design fans so this offers extended longevity

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.640
and so they'll basically just last longer without sounding terrible and the

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:04.480
full top shroud is finished in a gorgeous soft touch field with aluminum

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.720
anodized red accents that just I mean

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.519
guys let's face it this card won't

00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:16.000
perform that differently from two GTX 760 direct cu2s but what it does do is

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:20.480
it adds The Bling Bling so let's get into performance numbers what do we

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:24.280
compare something like this against well ausa's own numbers reference Titan a lot

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

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.599
the GTX 780 Ti which is cheaper and

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:37.000
better performing than Titan when it comes to gaming applications so we ran

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:43.080
our own tests and we included the r9290 as sort of our value high performance

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:45.840
option as well as NVIDIA's own GTX 780

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

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

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.280
our test Suite which hopefully we're going to have up on the screen right now

00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:03.720
it performs very similarly to a GeForce GTX 780 Ti with that said there are some

00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:08.400
caveats so number one is the fact that power consumption is going to be higher

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:12.720
than an individual card number two is the fact that you're going to have some

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:16.639
behaviors that are not as desirable as you might get from an individual

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.840
higher-end card SLI doesn't scale perfectly so there will be situations

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.440
where this card will perform extremely well and there will be other ones where

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.960
it just doesn't perform that well or where to get stability you will even

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.720
have to disable a GPU and you are effectively reducing the performance

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.919
that you can get out of it I do generally recommend that you run a

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:39.520
single more powerful card rather than running SLI until you're at the point

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.800
where you're already buying the most powerful single GPU available at which

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

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:53.320
this card has four gigs of memory on it only two gigs can be used effectively

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.680
because you have to duplicate the data that stored in the frame buffer that is

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:03.680
allocated to each GPU whereas GeForce GTX 780ti has 3 gigs of memory all of

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:09.000
which is usable and all of that even ignores the fact that like we said

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.840
before you could buy two GTX 70s which

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:16.080
would be less expensive to get about the same performance and present a much more

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:23.360
compelling value option than something like a 760 Mars so who is the Mars made

00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:26.000
for and the answer is the same person

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:32.360
that every other Mars and every other Aries series Rog card from ASUS is made

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:35.039
for someone who values the form of the

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:39.919
card someone who values The Prestige of owning one of their top tier Ro class

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:45.800
cards I mean the engineering that goes into building these cards is very very

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:47.400
admirable and they look the part so I

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.240
think that pretty much wraps things up thank you for checking out our unboxing

00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:54.759
and review of the GeForce GTX 760 Mars from ASUS don't forget to like this

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.440
video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment if you want

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:04.520
to let us know what you thought I mean what would you buy out these three

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:07.639
options 780 Ti Mar 760 or just two sort

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:09.680
of less expensive 70s and compromise

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:15.240
those additional two PCI Express slots CU this at least fits when in the form

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:18.039
factor of one card and as always don't
