Report: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Supposed Specs Revealed
The card's GPU will be a GK104-225 part. It will feature 1152 CUDA cores, 32 ROPs, and 96 TMUs. The GPU will run at a base clock of 980 MHz and carry a boost clock of 1033 MHz. Also aboard the PCB, users will find 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, which will run at an effective speed of 6.0 GHz over a 256-bit memory interface. While 2 GB may be the default flavor for the card to come in, there will also be 4 GB versions. The report also indicates that the card will carry the GPU Boost 2.0 technology. With these specifications the card is replacing the GTX 660 Ti and not the GTX 670. Performance is expected to be slightly above that of the AMD Radeon HD 7950, though still below the Radeon HD 7970 levels.
The card will be fed its spike through two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, and the standard TDP is rated at 170 W.
According to the report, Nvidia's GTX 760 will be launched on June 25, early next week. Numerous sources indicate pricing to be around $299. Another thing to note is that after the GTX 760, according to the report, Nvidia has no new graphics cards planned for the coming months.
And theres a sapphire 7970 atm on newegg for 320$, 300$ after rebate, which is arguably the best value at the current moment.
Which is better performance wise?
the 7970 has more overclock potential and vram as well as larger memory bus. the 670 will likely offer a more stress free environment. The 7970 ghz(an overclocked 7970) is similar to the current gtx 770(OC 680 with better vram) performance wise.
Yeah, right rebranded cards with slightly tuned clock frequency are new cards totally.
Go for Nvidia .. PhysX is worth it.

plus ATI drivers today Stutter not cool
I have an HD 7950 and I don't have any problems with stuttering at all. It's only in multi-GPU setups that AMD cards start having that problem.
nvidia got locked out of the consoles,
physx barely gets used as it is.
unreal 4 engine has physics in it already
if nvidia wants to have physx as a brand, and sell rights, they are going to need to open it up, or be regulated to nvidia only. and with a version of physx going to the consoles for amd hardware, i find it hard to believe there won't be a cracked pc version.
point being, physx is under used and should not be used as a selling point on a gpu.
aside from physx, nvidia cards have lightboost for crt like gaming on some monitors, and theyll have that new game recorder that automatically records the previous 20 seconds of all games.
all that being said, i just ordered the hd 7970 off of newegg with 5 games =]
agreed ^
Of course it is. Otherwise what would the upcoming GTX 760Ti be replacing? I can't believe people seriously ever thought the GTX 760 would be the equivalent of a GTX 670. That would make no sense based on nVidia's rebadging of the GTX 600 series so far.
However, it could be nice if NVIDIA could set their products with just numbers, and add "GS, GT, GTX" to the improved versions, so we won't have to deal with Ti or Boost or "GTX 650 Ti Boost" Also, the improved GTX 660 could be something like the GTX 665. Seriously, Nvidia, you have one extra digit to play with. If you keep on refreshing the series like this, you are going to suffer at the near future when you need to replace the 900 series.
Thanks for the info . I use multi GPU
and still , physX rocks
