MSI VGA N760-TF-2GD5/OC NVIDIA

Specifications and Features

As mentioned above, the GTX 760 is replacing the 660 Ti. The 770 replaced the 680, and the 780 is in a class of its own sitting a bit below the monster, Titan. We also know that the 770 had the same core as the 680 for all intents and purposes. So does this have the same thing too? Not quite. Though it is a GK104 (GK104-225 to be exact), it has less shaders (1152) but more ROPs (32) than the 660ti, and less shaders but the same ROPs as the 670. The reference core comes in with a clock speed of 980 MHz while MSI kicks it up a notch to 1020 MHz base (boosts to an actual value of 1149 MHz with boost 2.0).  The memory bus remains 256 bit with the MSI offering coming in at the reference clock of 1502 MHz (6008 MHz DDR5).

Another item to mention is the TDP for this card drops to 170 W compared to the 230 W from the 770. I bet the Twin Frozr IV (TFIV) cooler does a good job here as well with about 60 W less heat to deal with…
