WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.319 this video is brought to you by the Corsair obsidian 350d micro atx case 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.360 exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact high-performance 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.080 pcs visit Corsair.com obsidian to learn 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 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 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 00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:34.000 but the 760 comes in to replace the 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.719 outgoing 660 ti in that all important 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 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:44.640 it still uses that same gk104 core that 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:48.239 we've come to know and trust from the previous generation cards but there have 00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:53.199 been a few tweaks number one is clock speeds have been increased the old 660 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 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:04.320 goes all the way up to 1033 megahertz and that is running at stock speeds for 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:07.439 this card next up is it has 32 rops that 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.640 is raster operators versus 24 rops what 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.240 those do is they are more sort of oomph 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.760 later on in the graphics rendering pipeline aiding in things like 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.960 anti-aliasing that are done close to the end of the processing of the image that 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 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. 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:40.360 that isn't to say that everything has been increased though the gtx 760 has 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:44.000 1152 cuda cores versus 1 00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:45.520 344 cuda cores in the old 660 ti so 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 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:53.920 it's replacing but some things have been upgraded and some things have been taken 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.280 away and we end up with a very interesting part here one other thing 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 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.520 a 4 gig configuration depending on the manufacturer versus 3 gigs max on the 00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:09.440 660 ti now when i talk about the card 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.760 physically there's not really that much to say because we've got the traditional 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.080 blower style shroud that we see with NVIDIA graphics cards we've got that 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:22.080 silence optimized fan with the new acoustic profile that's cool that's new 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:26.400 with 700 series as well as titan that keeps it from ramping up 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 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.200 dual dvi HDMI and displayport output at the back that gives us NVIDIA 3d vision 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:41.599 surround with three monitors and one auxiliary monitor pci express 3.0 NVIDIA 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 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.239 got that uh pcb extension part at the 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.400 back here that makes the card nine inches total in length now the reason 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.440 they did that is that there's not enough room to have the heatsink itself over 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 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 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 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 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.640 aesthetic with a GeForce gtx branding present on the top as well as two six 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.959 pin pci express connectors and when i say all important 250 price point what 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 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.800 most people are spending their money somewhere between 149 and 249. so when 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:33.200 NVIDIA says weapon of choice they're talking about that gamer who doesn't 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 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.840 at high settings at 1080p or 1920x1200 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.000 and get a great experience so the example that they're using is metrolast 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:47.920 light with this card versus previous generation cards such as an older 275 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.920 that would have been in a similar price range now you can crank up metro last 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:55.680 light whereas with your older card you couldn't and it's all about delivering 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.200 that consistent experience speaking of experience GeForce experience is of 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.840 course supported so shadow play is coming soon meaning it uses the onboard 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 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.319 upcoming video for sure as well as automatic driver updates as well as 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.880 recommendations for what settings you can run all of your games at speaking of 00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.919 games we've got upcoming games that are going to be meant to be played on 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:24.080 GeForce titles so we've got ham 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:28.320 assassins creed 4 black frag watch dogs splinter cell blacklist witcher 3 and 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:33.600 batman arkham origins that are all coming up optimized for g-force right 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.840 out of the gate and when it comes to performance 249 is an aggressive price 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.919 point when you consider that this GPU 00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:46.960 at this kind of a level was not available below around 299 so with the 00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:50.720 660 ti being at a higher price in the last generation of cards so we 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.280 are definitely seeing some trickle down in terms of the price with performance 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.440 being maintained or even improved versus the last gen card and compared to 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.199 something like a 7950 i think we're gonna find that 760 is a very 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.880 competitive card but hey don't take my word for it in the unboxing because i 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.440 haven't tested it yet i'm just unboxing it so check out our 1080p performance 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 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.840 comment about what you think of the gtx 760 are you disappointed by NVIDIA's 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 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.960 those comments
