1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,319 this video is brought to you by the Corsair obsidian 350d micro atx case 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,360 exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact high-performance 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,080 pcs visit Corsair.com obsidian to learn 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,640 more now NVIDIA never sends me boxes so i put the gtx 760 in an old box that i 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,920 had lying around also from NVIDIA but it was for an older card this is the third 6 00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:30,160 in the g4 700 series of cards so we've seen the 780 as well as the 770 already 7 00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:34,000 but the 760 comes in to replace the 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,719 outgoing 660 ti in that all important 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,879 250 dollar price point so there's been quite a few tweaks over the older 660 ti 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,640 it still uses that same gk104 core that 11 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,239 we've come to know and trust from the previous generation cards but there have 12 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:53,199 been a few tweaks number one is clock speeds have been increased the old 660 13 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:59,039 ti had a boost clock of 980 megahertz whereas the 760 has a base clock of 980 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:04,320 goes all the way up to 1033 megahertz and that is running at stock speeds for 15 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:07,439 this card next up is it has 32 rops that 16 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,640 is raster operators versus 24 rops what 17 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,240 those do is they are more sort of oomph 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,760 later on in the graphics rendering pipeline aiding in things like 19 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:20,960 anti-aliasing that are done close to the end of the processing of the image that 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,759 goes on okay last but not least we get a wider memory bus so we've gone from a 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,680 192-bit interface on the old card to a 256-bit interface on the new gtx 760. 22 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:40,360 that isn't to say that everything has been increased though the gtx 760 has 23 00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:44,000 1152 cuda cores versus 1 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,520 344 cuda cores in the old 660 ti so 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,479 check out our performance review where we're really going to dive into the performance of this card versus the one 26 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,920 it's replacing but some things have been upgraded and some things have been taken 27 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,280 away and we end up with a very interesting part here one other thing 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,079 about this card is that because it's a 256 bit bus card you can have a 2 gig or 29 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,520 a 4 gig configuration depending on the manufacturer versus 3 gigs max on the 30 00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:09,440 660 ti now when i talk about the card 31 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,760 physically there's not really that much to say because we've got the traditional 32 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,080 blower style shroud that we see with NVIDIA graphics cards we've got that 33 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,080 silence optimized fan with the new acoustic profile that's cool that's new 34 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,400 with 700 series as well as titan that keeps it from ramping up 35 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,440 when it's close to a threshold that it wants to maintain we've got that same 36 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,200 dual dvi HDMI and displayport output at the back that gives us NVIDIA 3d vision 37 00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:41,599 surround with three monitors and one auxiliary monitor pci express 3.0 NVIDIA 38 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:46,720 sli support up to three-way with two sli fingers on the top of the card and we've 39 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,239 got that uh pcb extension part at the 40 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,400 back here that makes the card nine inches total in length now the reason 41 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,440 they did that is that there's not enough room to have the heatsink itself over 42 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,120 the GPU and then a fan next to it unless you actually extend the card a little 43 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,840 bit so in order to maintain that blower style that's what they've done on the 44 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,800 back of the card we've got some of the RAM chips whereas the other half are on 45 00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,480 the other half of the card and that is pretty much it it's got a clean 46 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,640 aesthetic with a GeForce gtx branding present on the top as well as two six 47 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,959 pin pci express connectors and when i say all important 250 price point what 48 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,920 am i talking about i used to work at a retailer so i know that that's where 49 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,800 most people are spending their money somewhere between 149 and 249. so when 50 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,200 NVIDIA says weapon of choice they're talking about that gamer who doesn't 51 00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:38,239 have the money for a titan or gtx 680 they just want to run the latest games 52 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:39,840 at high settings at 1080p or 1920x1200 53 00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,000 and get a great experience so the example that they're using is metrolast 54 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,920 light with this card versus previous generation cards such as an older 275 55 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,920 that would have been in a similar price range now you can crank up metro last 56 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,680 light whereas with your older card you couldn't and it's all about delivering 57 00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,200 that consistent experience speaking of experience GeForce experience is of 58 00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:03,840 course supported so shadow play is coming soon meaning it uses the onboard 59 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:08,159 h.264 encoder in order to record your gameplay on the fly more on that in an 60 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,319 upcoming video for sure as well as automatic driver updates as well as 61 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,880 recommendations for what settings you can run all of your games at speaking of 62 00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,919 games we've got upcoming games that are going to be meant to be played on 63 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,080 GeForce titles so we've got ham 64 00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,320 assassins creed 4 black frag watch dogs splinter cell blacklist witcher 3 and 65 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:33,600 batman arkham origins that are all coming up optimized for g-force right 66 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:39,840 out of the gate and when it comes to performance 249 is an aggressive price 67 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,919 point when you consider that this GPU 68 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,960 at this kind of a level was not available below around 299 so with the 69 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,720 660 ti being at a higher price in the last generation of cards so we 70 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,280 are definitely seeing some trickle down in terms of the price with performance 71 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,440 being maintained or even improved versus the last gen card and compared to 72 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,199 something like a 7950 i think we're gonna find that 760 is a very 73 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,880 competitive card but hey don't take my word for it in the unboxing because i 74 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,440 haven't tested it yet i'm just unboxing it so check out our 1080p performance 75 00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,520 review of the gtx 760. don't forget to like this video as well as leave a 76 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:19,840 comment about what you think of the gtx 760 are you disappointed by NVIDIA's 77 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,360 latest card do you think it's fantastic let us know under the video we do read 78 00:05:21,680 -->
