Is this msi gtx 760 worth getting?

thepcgamer099 · Dec 17, 2013

Should i get this graphics card http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Nvidia-DDR5-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00DMUN4JO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2C8DHQWYRWCIY&coliid=I3QOVEJ8NYIFL5
or is the quality too bad. i thought that i should this graphics card because its cheaper but i cant help thinking the quality might not be as good so should i instead buy this http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Nvidia-GeForce-Superclocked-Graphics/dp/B00DMB6C4C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1387313570&sr=8-6&keywords=gtx+760
thanks

Yes, i recommend it, and regret not getting it. It is the ultimate performance/price card you can currently get that hits the sweetspot for 1080p gamers.
I recommend not getting the stock cooler, but a second hand made(made by a company other than nvidia, and EVGA

I recommend this one, it is probbly the best

They both have reference coolers which will likely be noisy.
I recommend this one for £200.11

I updated. I picked wrong recommendation. This is the one i recommend

SethS :

so i shouldn't get the msi or evga (why not)? but i should get the gigabyte one instead (why is is because there is more fans/coolers on the gigabyte card??????

thepcgamer099 · Dec 17, 2013

jay2577 :

will this be a silent gpu then like you said? and is this as good as the evga? also will this stay cool because of all of the fans on the card?

SethS · Dec 17, 2013

thepcgamer099 :

yes, it offers way better cooling/quieter, but also it comes factory overclocking. Stock card typically are slower/louder/and hotter.

thepcgamer099 · Dec 17, 2013

SethS :

by factory overclocking do you mean it would better for overclocking? (as i will be doing light overclocking to reach around 4.00Ghz-my cpu is intel i5 4670k is at around 3.6ghz when at default). And so its not worth saving £20 as the original msi gpu i found wouldn't be as good (it would be louder, hotter, not as fast as the one you found)

jay2577 · Dec 17, 2013

This is better than the EVGA and i have used Msi twin forzr cards before and they are so quiet. It will also run cooler than the EVGA.
I recently bought a new graphics card on sale and regret not buying the another Msi twin frozr as i can now hear my card.

thepcgamer099 :

by running cooler does this mean that overclocking would be less risky and easier or can't this gpu be overclocked?

no, it is overclocked IN THE FACTORY by the manufacturers. That means, core clock and boost clock is higher.
BTW 4.00ghz refers to cpu's; gpu's work in mhz,like 7010mhz boost, 6960mhz core.(example)

jay2577 · Dec 17, 2013

Yes as SethS says it is already overclocked. This takes all the risk out of it as the factory overclock will be covered by the warranty. If you buy a non overclocked version and overclock it yourself you will void the warranty
