GTX 760 Which One?

ttndb · Jul 10, 2013

I am working on a new computer build for gaming and photo editing. I am planning to use a GTX 760 graphics card due to cost and performance considerations. My build currently is using the Asus but I am considering the MSI and Gigabyte cards as well.

My plan is to use two 24” monitors with the computer in the future. This should be very helpful with photo editing.

My questions are:

Which one of the 760’s is best?

My goal is to have a very quiet system with good performance. Which card has the best noise to performance?

In the future I may add a second card for SLI to improve performance. Would this change which card would be best?

The EVGA has a great cooler, comes factory overclocked and has warranty which is second to none.

Yet the MSI 760 screams past it.

The quietest card while under max graphics load is the MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming.

The EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler is the loudest when under max graphics load.

Performance out of the box (i.e. factory clocks only - without any manual overclocking) would go to the EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler followed by the Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC.

The msi 760 is certainly quieter than the evga 760, but show me one review where it is faster. Do it. It isn't.

You're so funny. I love your comments.

Dude the EVGA card has a higher overclock of course it will be faster *facepalm* I guess you don't know anything about manual overclocking. Love EVGA fanboys they could make a cooler were the card is at a constant 100C and they would STILL buy it.

So you've completely ignored the OP's requirement:

My goal is to have a very quiet system with good performance. Which card has the best noise to performance?

Apparently graphics card fan noise is of a concern to the OP.

The noise difference between the MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming and the EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler is substantial. Based on human hearing perception the EVGA card's fan noise is twice as loud as the MSI card's.

I tried to watch the video but it is private.

Yes, noise is important to me. Are there any reviews that show the noise levels of the different cards?

Go for the cheapest one, buy two, and SLI them. The performance is better than a single Titan.

two standard 760's wont out preform a titan... dont give false facts.

he said buy the cheapest 760, yh i undersand that two msi oc 760 can outperform the titan on some games, but buying two of the cheapest is a terrible idea.

MSI is much quieter. This review compares sound levels of MSI and EVGA.
