14 DAY TRIAL // It's not exactly a super-card like AMD's Radeon R9 290X, but NVIDIA, or rather its partners, also have a new card up for sale: GeForce GTX 760 4GB, with double the amount of VRAM than usual.
Gainward and Palit are the ones that now sell, or will soon sell, the board, naturally under different names.
GeForce GTX 760 is the fourth best graphics adapter in NVIDIA's lineup, unless you don't count the Titan, in which case it's the third.
Although with the GTX 670 showing up rebranded as the GTX 760 Ti, the ranking is up for debate. But we digress.
Palit's GeForce GTX 760 4GB JetStream (model: NE5X760010G2-1042J) runs the GPU at 1072 MHz (NVIDIA reference setting is 980 MHz) and 1137 MHz in Boost state (1033 MHz reference).
Meanwhile, the VRAM is also faster, operating at 6.2 GHz instead of “just” 6 GHz. Between that and the double amount, it should be easy to run Battlefield 4 at full settings.
Really, that game seems to be having quite the effect on the video market, even though the Mantle API from AMD has nothing to do with NVIDIA at all.
The other board, from Gainward, is called GTX 760 Phantom 4 GB and is tamer, much tamer, although considering that the NVIDIA card is powerful by default, there isn't really a need for the card to be overclocked.
Anyway, the board runs at 980 MHz (1033 MHz boost state) and 6 GHz for the memory.
In both cases, the cards feature 1,152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs and a 256-bit memory interface. It all comes with the 28nm GK104 GPU (graphics processing unit).
Sadly, neither Gainward nor Palit has provided prices. The normal card costs $259 / €259 though, so something just under $300 / €300 is as good a guess as any.
