Hey people!

What are your thoughts on:

EVGA GTX 760 4 GB

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2123/evga-gtx-760-4-gb.html

VS.

Inno3D GTX 760 HerculeZ 2000 4 GB

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2169/inno3d-gtx-760-herculez-2000-4-gb.html


1. What do you think about the manufacturer?

2. Do you think the cooler of Inno3D is better than the standard EVGA?

3. Any general thoughts?


I know Inno3D already overclocked, but not like one could not do it with the EVGA as well, right?


Thanks for your input!

Evga has best support and rep.

Inno3d has best cooler and faster card.

I would def choose 760, no doubt.

thanks for the answer.

they are both 760 btw


yeah I thought something like that.

I would probably go the better cooler = Inno3D


Looking for more opinions!

My vote none of the above.

First off I wouldn't recommend any 4GB versions of the GTX 760 or for that matter the GTX 770, for resolutions where > 2GB might come in handy you're looking at multiple GTX 780's.

For a resolution of HD 1920 x 1080 or up to 2560 x 1600 2GB of vRAM is fine.

If $260 range the EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB
If $415 range the ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB

Some benchmarks:
GTX 760 SLI (note stuttering) - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_760_sli_review,1.html

hey jaquith

I totally understand that.

but I like Skyrim heavily modded and like to have multiple monitors with multiple browser tabs open,
and that consumes some vram too.

after all the 4GB version for me is only 20 bucks more.
I think thats ok


also I have an AM3 board with no SLI,
and you cant get them anymore..
so

but thanks a lot for your recommendation!

 

[realbenny]

I'd recommend going with a GTX 770 w/ 4GB http://amzn.to/16OAqkj but if it's not in the budget then obviously you can't do it. =)

yeah I know,

its a pretty nice one. but I dont feel like spending that much..

If you're running Skyrim on multiple monitors and your MOBO doesn't have SLI support then I'd look into the HD 7970 or HD 7950 in CF (crossfire) or wait for the HD 8000 series GPU(s). Most every AMD AM3AM3+ has CF support, if you have more than one (1) PCIe slot. However, if not then you need a 'good' single GPU, but keep in mind that many AM3 CPU's bottleneck the GPU(s), so it depends on your CPU as much as your GPU(s).

thanks for the answer again

I only run skyrim on one.

on the others I have desktop mode.

I only have one pcie, and my cpu surely doesnt bottelneck.

I thought about the 7900s but decided to go 760 for price/performance
