Is it worth the $20 extra?

lilrex · Jul 25, 2013

I was all set to buy this 760 when new egg posted this new version. I compared them and spotted the differences. But i am by no means an expert on Nvidia features so i am unsure if this is worth the extra money. Take a look and tell me what you think please.

If you are overclocking, yes. Also iirc the expensive one is quieter as well. Also, the cheaper one is out of stock on newegg.

Hakumisoso Terror :

Lol, yes it just went out of stock a few hours ago. Thank you for your input

i would get the one with acx cooler plus you get a free game?

It will be a little cooler and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay quieter. Well worth it in my opinion.

Are the long list of features going to give me any noticeable improvement on my games?

lilrex :

cooler temps, some fps improvement maybe not much on the FTW edition of a 760, if $20 more for a better card, free $60 game is a bad thing then im lost

RaisingTheBarHD :

Im definitely going to buy it, i was just curious. I dont know what CUDA core technology does for my games is all/

Free game plus better cooler, I would say it's worth it. Those turbine style coolers vent the heat out of your case but they suck so much it's not worth it. I have seen stock coolers throttle the GPU because they couldn't cool even under stock frequencies.

So between these 2 cards, im not seeing a whole lot of spec difference. Im thinking its smarter to go with the 760. am i right?

oh, while on the topic of Nivida, I use a tri monitor setup in 1080p. Can i attach all 3 to the single 760 or will i need to use active display adapters like Radeon?

lilrex :

if your running a triple monitor setup then I would definitely go with the 770, get as much GPU power that your budget will allow. I believe you can hook up all three monitors to a single GPU, will need one to be a HDMI or something because there are only two DVI ports.

I was reading on the Gigabyte website b/c newegg post their version of the 4 GB 760 and they had this listed in the display section. 4096 X 2160(via a single HDMI connector and not supported with two DVI connectors)

What does this mean? can i not have 2 DVI's + HDMI?

I think it's saying thats the max single monitor resolution. Unless you have a monitor running over that resolution I believe you will be fine. Just see if there is any youtube videos of people running a triple monitor setup with your video card, if so then it's possible.

Thank you, I am going to go with this edition of the 760 instead. Im not a huge fan of splinter cell anyway
