Isn't Gigabyte more expensive than MSI?

Anyway, I have been waiting for too long. Making the plunge for MSI GTX760 Gaming 2GB DDR5 OC!!!!

Yeah, waited so long. Will post some pics when I get it.

Nice price for 4Gb. However, how does their warranty work?

Will do.

Return on them? That's nice.

However, I guess many would want the convenience of RMA-ing to local vendors without expensive shipping fees and warranty headaches....

Yeah, the prices here are

The 5 year warranty and the games are really a bonus. However, IIRC, the warranty is not transferrable......

My new card has arrived! MSI GTX760 Gaming edition!



Just starting to test the card. So far, happy with the noise and temperature.

At default fan setting, a full cycle of heavens benchmark will only cause the fan to spin up to 42% fan speed and the temperature to go up 72'c.



Tweak the fan settings with MSI afterburner to obtain better results. 74% fan speed at 62'c max temp after a full cycle.



Some benchmarks to come later.....

Rm1175 including postage.

Hmmm.... new thing for me.... power limit and power % on the graph....

In MSI afterburner, power limit is set to default at 100% but when I benchmark or run games, power % maxed out at around 73-74%....

Also found out that for GTX 600 series and above, can also have temp limit if using afterburner 3.00 and above....

Have to do more research on this....

zhen^wei. MSI cheaper compared to Gigabyte.

Yeah, finally upgraded my GTX460. Waited so long before getting this card. Hands were so itchy to try out the 500 series and 600 series cards...... I guess it was worth the wait.....

GTX460 vs GTX760.



That on ultra setting with AA at 16x QSCAA. Grid 2 is still quite smooth with AA set to low on the GTX460.

TwinFrozr is great! Most games max temp around 62'c at 70+% fan speed. Less demanding games doesn't even reach 60'c. At that speed, the fans was audible but doesn't sound like vacuum cleaners (casing just right beside my monitor).

However, this was tested at night in aircon room (closed casing).



So far, most test showed >100% improvement in FPS (upgrading from GTX460 to GTX760).

For Tomb raider, not too sure why the min FPS is lower.... maybe due to the monitoring tools as I noticed there were microstuttering on and off. As always TressFX really kills FPS on Nvidia cards.....

Don't understand what you mean. My control panel do not have this either. Are you talking about Physx setting?

On unigine? GTX670 is faster than GTX760. My AA was off as wanted to compared with previous GTX460 benchmarks. The rest of the settings were maxed.

How come your sig shows HD5670

I'm loving the temps. My GTX460 was running around 70'c at 60% fan speed after one cycle of unigine. This card is much cooler....

What's the temps on GTX670?

Haha... Leadtek lower quality brand ma....

Using MSI gaming app, 1129mhz on gaming mode. If OC mode, 1189mhz at 100-110% power. I can actually set power limit to 145% but didn't do it. Not planning to OC my card.....

Just benchmarked mine. 8xAA, Quality : Ultra, Tessellation : Extreme, 1920x1080.

Same same as yours

FPS : 30.8
Score : 775
Min FPS : 16.5
Max FPS : 71.3

Temps at 60'c with fans at 74%.

Owh... wait I try benchmarking valley.....

Errmm... I think default is silent. Not too sure as the app starts without anything selected. If I select gaming mode, stock clocks will shoot up to 100% and never downclock. Power % goes to 25% and temps rises above 40'c. Not too sure whether it will downclock or not.....

Have to do more research on what these modes actually does.

Value for money, better GTX760. I feel the 770 and 780 are overpriced too much due to lack of competition.

I think everybody will tell you that OC can damage any component, depending on how much you push it. If no OC can sometimes spoil by itself too.

Not too sure as "Gaming mode" causes the core clock to shoot directly to 1124mhz. If "OC mode", directly to 1189mhz...

Here's valley benchmark at stock clocks..... temps goes up to 62'c....



Update: Found the function of the gaming app. This is for the GTX780:



This is for GTX760 : http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/575...-gaming-series/

That's what I can't figure out. How come my card boost higher than the stock specs.....

What's the max fan speed % and max temp during benching?

This post has been edited by kmarc: Jul 25 2013, 08:37 PM

Haha..... another thing I can't figure out is why power % usually runs around 70+% during gaming and benching....

Why not adjust the fan profile? My GTX760 also have low fan setting at default. During benchmarking, only running at around 42% with temps at 72'c

After adjusting my fan profile, became 74% at 62'c

Quite happy with my MSI GTX760. Idling at 31'c at 34% fan speed in aircon room (set at 25'c).

This review also shows the advantages of MSI card : http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4608/gefor...evga-vs-inno-3d

Asus doesn't fare that well while the Inno3D ichills looks tempting!
