MSi GTX 760 Gaming or MSi GTX 760 Hawk

polod · Aug 11, 2013

guys just want to ask if it is worth it to go for Hawk edition or just stick with gaming edition from MSi gtx 760 line thanks

thasan1 · Aug 11, 2013

it is the same card so with hawk you might get a 1-2FPS increase if your lucky.so if the price seems fair just get the hawk edition, if not get the gaming one.

I dont think it matters. If you have time to wait, might as well check it out, but if you want a card now, get the gaming.

As mentioned above, it's not gonna be a significant performance boost getting the Hawk edition. If the price is $5 more than I'd get the Hawk, but if it's an extra $20 I'd get the regular MSI 760 TF/OC.

I still have yet to see the price on the Hawk. Anyone?

skilledman101-1362426 · Aug 11, 2013

No price info has been announced yet, nor when it will hit the shelves.

polod · Aug 11, 2013

the gaming edition cost i think $259 while the hawk $299 from rumors and estimation..

polod · Aug 12, 2013

well the $40 dollars difference worth it?

thasan1 · Aug 12, 2013

@polod, nope, 40$ for a 2-3 FPS increase is not worth it. go with MSI TF card instead of hawk.

polod :

I don't think it's worth it if the MSI 760 Hawk is $299. It's essentially the same price as a 670 (not 760). You can get Asus or MSI 670 at $299. I'd get the MSI 760 TF/OC $260 or the MSI 670 for $300.

I'm gonna guess the price of the Hawk will be $279. Simply cuz it doesn't make sense for MSI to sell the Hawk at same price as the 670.

polod · Aug 12, 2013

just rumors and estimation with 299 hope it doesnt reach that.. i guess i will stick with gaming edition if that happens with the price, ill just gonna wait for the release and final pricing before i will make my decision

skilledman101-1362426 · Aug 12, 2013

Is it a 4GB version of the 760? If it is, I guess it would make sense to sell at $299

polod · Aug 12, 2013

nope just a 2gb 760 hawk..

polod · Aug 12, 2013

any other 760 brand can you recommend?

polod · Aug 12, 2013

okay try to look at here if its available, if you choose between the two MSi Gaming or the Gigabyte WF Rev 2 without biased?heheheh

polod · Aug 12, 2013

okay thanks for that just gonna buy whats available here in my country either msi or gigabyte version 2

polod :

don't forget about Asus. They run fast and quiet too. I'd decide on price. Personally I like the performance, cooling, and low noise from MSI.

polod · Aug 14, 2013

asus is a little bit pricey here in Philippines and gigabyte gtx 760 is a little bit hard to find or it is not really available.. Im down to Asus, MSi, Palit, EVGA, Zotac variants of gtx 760

polod · Aug 14, 2013

MSI 760 Hawk just shown in newegg and its $289.99, i think its a little bit pricey for me ill just stick to MSi Gaming..

good choice you will only get 2-3% increas over TF so i recommend staying with which ever version you get.

Clevins · Aug 14, 2013

You would probably want to wait a little while until reviews are done, i think there might be at least 5% increase in performance, as it is said to have superior overclocking abilities. MSI wont just come out with a card if its only gonna give a 2-3% increase dont you think?

there are already a lot of reviews for this hawk 760 yes it has performance difference and great oc potential and differen pcb than the gaming 760, and that backplate is so sexy lol i just wish the gaming has a backplate too

envy14tpe · Aug 14, 2013

What are the prices? btw, in the US people aren't used to ZOTAC but I think it's the #1 selling company of GPUs.

polod · Aug 14, 2013

zotac, palit and evga are very cheap here compared to say MSi, Asus is the most expensive brand here in philippines.. really? How about there quality of there cards? Are they reliable?

thasan1 · Aug 14, 2013

@polod, Asus card's have a big heatsink so the cool comparatively better than other card's AFAIK, just buy the cheapest card you ccan find from ebga, plait zotac etc, performance inrease or decrease won't be much big.3-4 FPS increase max.
