VerdictĪccording to Nvidia, the GTX 760 is the last new GPU release for the next several months. Again, the Nvidia GTX 770 is well ahead at 44 fps, as we'd expect given the fact that this card costs around £100 more than the others. Hitman: Absolution also favoured the AMD Radeon 7950 – the GTX 760 scored 29 fps in the game's built-in benchmark test, compared to 34.5 fps for the AMD solution. In DiRT 3, the AMD Radeon 7950 turned in a score of 92 fps while the GTX 760 hit 84 fps. The AMD Radeon 7950 led the Nvidia GTX 660 in BioShock Infinite (63 fps to 57 fps), and the Nvidia GTX 770 sped past both at 71 fps. The GTX 770 hit 33 fps in both tests, but you'll want to adjust video details downwards on all these cards if you're aiming for a smooth frame rate. The GTX 760's score of 29 fps in Metro 2033 and 26 fps in Metro Last Light was slightly behind the AMD Radeon 7950's 32 fps and 27 fps, respectively. In Metro 2033 and its sequel, Metro: Last Light, AMD pulled slightly ahead. Shogun 2: Total War, on the other hand, showed some differences – the GTX 760 hit 39 fps here, slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon 7950 at 37.5 fps, but far behind the Nvidia GTX 770 at 50 fps. The AMD Radeon 7950 also hit 89 fps, which puts all three solutions in an effective three-way tie. In Civilization V's "Late Game View" benchmark test, the GTX 760 was slightly behind the newer Nvidia GTX 770 at 87 frames per second (fps) versus 89 fps. Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (4GB Black) at Amazon for £559.In Metro Last Light, the game's "SSAA" (super-sampled antialiasing) box is checked, rather than a specific level of MSAA. Multisampled antialiasing was activated when available and turned up to 8x if possible. All of our tests were run at 1,920 x 1,080 with maximum details set.
The GTX 690 performance was simulated using a pair of GTX 680s in SLI tests have demonstrated that the performance delta between the two configurations is essentially nil.
We're comparing primarily against the AMD Radeon 7950 which as we’ve just mentioned is pitched at around the same price, and the Nvidia GTX 770, at the heftier £329 price point.

The bundle is fairly modest with a speed setup guide, driver and utility DVD, SLI cable (which we’re actually using for once!) and a dual 6 pin to 8 pin power adapter.Our performance comparisons were done using an Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge CPU, 16GB of DDR3-1600, a 256GB OCZ Vector SSD, and a 27in Asus VG278HE monitor at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. The usual ROG theme is offered on the packaging and the term “Gaming Graphics Card” is used with this product: for once ASUS isn’t really targeting overclockers with this product.Īround the back we get some more details about the product with a labelled exploded diagram, similar to the slide we’ve already shown you.
ASUS were kind enough to send us a pair of these GTX 760s and they recommended taking on the GTX 780 Ti : a pair of these GTX 760 Striker Platinums costs $600 compared to the $700 of the GTX 780 Ti. More importantly for us though, is how SLI GTX 760 Striker Platinums do against a GTX 780 Ti. Looking at the raw specifications we can see exactly how the GTX 760 Striker Platinum fares against a normal GTX 760. ASUS have also upgraded the power delivery components over the standard GTX 760 reference design with their DIGI+ VRM black metallic capacitors, an 8 phase Super Alloy Power implementation and extra POSCAPs behind the GPU to filter power further.īeing an ROG product it wouldn’t be cool without some extra gadgets and trinkets so ASUS have added a colour-coded ROG logo which changes colour depending on the GPU load.

This features a full aluminium backplate, the new Direct CU II design with 10mm heat pipes and the ASUS CoolTech fan design. The stand-out difference is that your RAM gets doubled from 2GB to 4GB, but there’s also a hefty GPU overclock and a custom ROG-styled cooling solution. As you might expect it certainly will cost you a bit more than a “bog-standard” GTX 760, 20% more in fact, but you do get a fair bit more for your money. However, with the ASUS ROG Striker Platinum GTX 760 that’s exactly what ASUS did – well, kind of. It isn’t very often that the ASUS Republic of Gamers brand brings a graphics card to a fairly mainstream price point.
