Introduction
Hello, this is the second brand new card in my life. My first card was ATI 9550![tongue.gif]()
.
The GTX760 uses GK104 with two SMXs disabled out of 8. It has the TDP of 170W and 2GB of GDDR5 memory and the card length of 24cm and pcb length of 17.5cm.
Unboxing
[attachmentid=3594734]
This is the packaging with bubble wrap.
[attachmentid=3594736]
Without bubble wrap![brows.gif]()
[attachmentid=3594738]
The back side of the packaging.
[attachmentid=3594739]
You can see whats inside here.
[attachmentid=3594741]
Whats inside the packaging? The card, dual 4D molex to 6 pins converter, manual, driver/software cd, and a DVI to VGA converter.
[attachmentid=3594744]
Lets look into the card...
[attachmentid=3594746]
The case is full of plastics. I remember that GTX400 and GTX500 series uses aluminium plate but for this time, they use plastics.
This is a reference design and I can't blame leadtek for its cheapness.
[attachmentid=3594748]
WOW. Its black PCB! I never expect its black since leadtek's card's PCB always blue in color.
This design would suit into itx case if goes for watercooling. the card is 24cm and the PCB only 17.5cm
[attachmentid=3594751]
The GTX760 uses dual 6pin which can drives up to 225W of power.
[attachmentid=3594752]
The blower fan. maximum 3600rpm. Last time i've owned a GTX470 which is 210W TDP, its fan can spin up to 5000rpm.
Anyway, the noise is acceptable at 100%, you still can talk with people behind you with normal voice.
[attachmentid=3594754]
It uses hynix memory.
[attachmentid=3594755]
Yes, its plastic and not aluminium...
[attachmentid=3594757]
It uses dual slot and features dual DVI. one DVI with audio and another don't, a HDMI and a display port.
[attachmentid=3594758]
You can see the heatsink for power here. I'll do a cooler summary next time.
[attachmentid=3594761]
A quick summary of the components of this card.
[attachmentid=3594765]
Installed into the case and starts the benchmark.
[attachmentid=3594766]
The design is pretty annoying since the plug is placed on center, especially on ITX case.
I'll leave the side case open for the card to suck fresh air to provide better cooling.
Perfomance
[attachmentid=3594769][attachmentid=3594777]
Look at the left first. Lets take a look at GTX760's stock perfomance.
For the right picture is the best overclock I could get, with stock voltage. The core frequency will stay between core clock and boost clock, due to the GPU Boost 2.0. It auto adjusts core voltage and frequency if the temperature allows. Also, due to the GPU Boost 2.0, its pointless to bump voltage because it also adjusts when the gpu reaches 80C.
Unigine Valley Benchmark - Link
[attachmentid=3595582]
Stock clock. Pretty decent, I suppose it can run DX11 games with decent smoothness.
[attachmentid=3595584]
Core frequency overclocked. Without memory overclocking. 9% of perfomance increase.
[attachmentid=3595585]
17% perfomance increase with memory and core overclocking.
Btw, these overclocks result only demonstrates the perfomance of this card and not the GTX760 core, due to the GPU Boost 2.0's auto slow down thing. The card always stuck at 78-80C with 100% fan speed.
Another thing I'll update next time, which is skyrim with famous mods enabled like skyrim HD,ENB, RLO, Climates of skyrim etc. , this card able to do it at 60fps.
Temperature
[attachmentid=3594775]
Furmark. Fan speed 100%. Take a look at fan speed and core clock. The temperature reachs 80C and the core voltage only 1.07v, and not the GPU Boost's maximum, 1.2v
[attachmentid=3594770]
This is the idle temperature. The fan only at 29% and I'm very satisfied,because last time my GTX470 with 50W idle power consume, still very loud on idle. The GTX760 only consumes 10W while idle.
Conclusion
The Leadtek GTX760 provides pretty good quality. I was expecting something like cheap pci bracket or cheap, unoverclockable ram since its very cheap compared to other brand but every part is very solid.I don't care about the bundle things, I just want the card. Even it doesn't bundle lots of things like lots of fancy packaging, It still provides important bundle things like power converter and DVI to VGA converter. But sadly, it comes with some scratches...
[attachmentid=3594751]
You can see the LEADTEK'S A (Left upper side) its scratched out of the box. Also, it doesn't come with thin plastic protection, thats why this will occur!
Thats the only part I'm not satisfied and this is not a reason for RMA-ing...
[attachmentid=3594757]
Another thing is it doesn't come with SLI finger protection and anti dust caps.
I'll buy myself since its only <RM1 I suppose...
Anyway, I'm very happy and satisfied with this purchase.
Pros :
+ Good perfomance for its price, and its enough for most game nowdays. (1080p)
+ 2GB of VRAM, more than enough for most games nowdays. (1080p)
+ Vapor chamber cooling
+ Low idle power
+ Pretty solid build
+ Includes important bundle even its very cheap
+ Black PCB!
Cons :
- The scratch!!
- Doesn't include SLI finger protector and anti dust caps for DVI and other I/Os
- Doesn't comes with backplate and doesn't come with aluminium plate for vrams cooling and etc.
- Some VRAM are placed at the back of PCB, so watercooling can't cover them.
