Interesting details too, here's the source

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Final Specs Unveiled

  • GEFORCE GTX 760 2GB

Today I have something exclusive. You will learn the final specs of the GeForce GTX 760 and what are NVIDIAs plans for the near future.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Specifications

The GeForce GTX 760 is equipped with GK104 processor, a cut-down version with 1152 CUDA cores on board. As I told you earlier, this card was not made as an upgrade to GeForce 600 series, its rather an offer for GTX 560 Fermi users (providing twice the performance). The GTX 760 will be replacing the GTX 660 Ti in the current line-up. Thus, you should not be surprised that the GTX 760 will use the reference design known from GTX 670, 660 Ti, 660 and 650 Ti.

The GeForce GTX 760 is clocked at stock 980 MHz for base and 1033 MHz for boost, whereas the boost state will depend on many factors. The GTX 760 supports GPU Boost 2.0, which is temperature-driven technology, so the cooler the card, the higher the clock youll get. As it turns out, the 2GB GDDR5 memory will be a default configuration for the GTX 760, but 4GB models will also be offered by AIB partners. The memory clock was set to 1502 MHz, which gives 6 GHz effective speed. The GTX 660 Ti replacement is equipped with a wider 256-bit interface.

The new mid-range model will require a pair of 6-pin power connectors, consuming up to 170W in typical operation. Also the standard set of display outputs will be offered with the card: DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort. Card will be officially announced on June 25th. The pricing was not yet revealed. 

NVIDIA GeForce 700 Line-up for next months

The most important information for you is that NVIDIA will not be releasing any new cards for the next three months. The cards you see above will remain as a front-line for the upcoming Radeon HD 8000 series, supposedly coming in September. Therefore, if you were planning to buy a new series card then you have two options: buy what NVIDIA is offering right now or wait for a response from AMD. Either way, you have plenty of time to decide.

And yes, it also means theres no GeForce GTX 790 until fourth quarter of 2013.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Performance

While the GTX 770 was designed as a counterpart to Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, the GTX 760 will be competing with the HD 7950 Boost. The new card from NVIDIA is slightly faster than Radeon model. Detailed performance figures will be covered in my next post. So check back tomorrow and stay tuned for more leaks.

Personally I'm still not sure about the whole HD 7950 vs waiting for the GTX 760.

760 will probably be slightly better than the 7950 Boost just like the 770 is slightly better than 7970 Ghz.

i like the gtx 760 with 256-bit interface and 4 gb vram vs. gtx660ti 192-bit interface and 3 gb vram at the same price point.

so if the gtx 760 comes in at around $300-$360 (4gb version) then this is what i'll probably roll with until summer 2014.

Cool means we might see a price drop for the 600 series and AMD will probably drop their price too. Works well for me because I really need to upgrade my 460

If you don't mind buying used then check amazon (I saw a superclocked edition of the 660ti a few days ago with shipping for $230).

Back on topic the GTX 760 sounds like a great value but I'd rather pass. The volanic island/maxwell isn't super far away and I wouldn't be perfectly set on spending $300+ on a GPU that isn't that much faster than the rumored ps4's GPU. I'd rather save $100-120 and get a used 7870XT and overclock it to 7950 speeds (then you can sell the 7870xt + use the money you saved and get a Titan equivalent for at most $50-100 out of pocket).

This will be my new card. Hopefully the 4GB version won't be a lot more expensive, but I probably don't need that for 1080p anyway.

I recommend getting the ASUS version, it will probably have better cooling. I have the ASUS GTX670 4GB, and I'm very pleased with the temperature.

I am not looking to upgrade my GTX570 until atleast the GTX 8 series launches, its still pretty beast. But this is good news for those who need a new card.

This is not good news to me.  The GTX 660 Ti has more cores.  I was really hoping for a true GTX 670 refresh at the $299 price point.  This might drive me to the red team again.  Unless the GTX 760 somehow matches or surpasses the GTX 670 in performance, it's not looking good to me.

What are you talking about ? It says in the article that its going to be slighly faster than a 7950 boost (thus its going to be at the very worse equal the 670). The articel they did today showed it at 9% faster than the 7950 boost (sounds like 670 level to me)

I want to see how they manage to make the card that fast with 1152 Cuda cores and 6GBPS memory.  I will believe it when I see official reviews.

I don't think so. In most games the 670 is 7970 level, not 7950.

pawq4

The 7970 (non ghz) is really close in performance to the 7950 boost (most of the charts I see that rate overall performance show a 5-8% difference). I don't see how that changes anything I just said...... (being slighly faster than a 7950 boost should put you at 670 level).

Better off buying a 670, if you can find one for $300.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.  That or a 7950 boost for under 300.

This isn't a bad idea at all. The prices for used ones have come down quite a bit over the last few weeks (theres one right now thats 4GB superclocked edition for $305 on amazon).

True, but it doesn't even have to be used for it to be a better deal. I can get a 670 for $299 AUD, which is definitely less than what the 760 will launch for over here. Not bad considering the 670 has more Cuda cores.

Used GTX 670 is looking better and better.  I'm in no hurry though.  I'll wait for the 760 to be released and reviewed.

it might have more cores but the gtx760 will have a 256-bit interface, an optional 4gb of vram and is faster than both the 660ti and 7950 as well. for $300 that pretty good IMO

EVGA's lineup has been leaked, 6 different 760s!

Hopefully 4GB versions won't be too much more expensive. The ACX cooler is nice though.

There is hardly any justification of buying old cards when the new cards come out (unless you need another for SLI). The new cards are usually faster (or in the case of a refresh) are the same price as the more expensive cards on sale.

None unfortunately my GTX 580 decided to die just outside of warranty. Can't say I'm happy. Might buy a 7950 tomorrow, the overclocking potential is pretty neat.

Do you have a link?

Even if so, it will take more than a nice 3dmark score to convince me.  I need to see multiple game tests at 1080p or higher.  Also, if that's a factory overclocked model, it may be over $300.  I can get a GTX 670 in that price range and overclock it myself.  That will put it ahead again.

I'll be ok with the 760 being 5-6% slower than a GTX 670 if it's a $250-280 card.

Makes me all the more interested to see how Nvidia will go about things, now that AMD has the console market under it's thumb and a good deal of developers working with their hardware.

I've got a GTX660ti and get over 100 fps in battlefield 3 on ultra, therefore no need for anything in excess of this card for 1920x1080 gaming. i will be good for a couple of years yet

Well reviews are up. No reason to get this when you can get a 7950.  It's only slightly better than the 660 ti.

After looking at Anandtech, their numbers tell a much different story than Linus' numbers.  Linus overclocks all their video cards though, so is the 7950 just a monsterous overclocker or something?  It even beats the 770 in some games.

Few frames behind 670. Nothing worth waiting for. Though, average 760 price should be lower than average 670 price.

Hmmm. Good replacement for my GTX 560 Ti. But..... I'm on an AMD cycle. So, it's either a 7950 or 7970 for me. The 760 will have to be really good for me to break my buying pattern.

I just looked at techpowerup and it looks like a good value for the price (the MSI twin frozr edition is $260 and only 5% slower than a 7970). Most models of the 760 where able to get a 15-20% overclock which is great (I'll check more reviews out later).

Thanks for pointing that site out. That card looks like a winner. Either that or the Asus.

Not very happy about the price differences between USA and UK.

On newegg:

GTX 660 ~$200

GTX660ti ~$300

GTX 760 ~$250

 

In UK:

GTX 660 ~£150

GTX 660ti ~£220

GTX 760 ~£220

 

Not fair at all :(

I will not be getting another video card until I load up a game and it says it doesnt recognise my card and defaults to software mode

What the hell?  Why would you buy a 7950 when you can have a $250-260 card that beats it by 5-10%?
