Very true. I must admit I'm very tempted myself, guru 3d seemed to get some very good overclocks out of them. They would make a good couple of cards to go with the Asus g sync monitor until the full fat 800 series comes out.

Just wish they were like 25 cheaper. I know its not a lot just would sweeten the deal

Exactly mate. I only bought these for the time being until the 800 series comes out.If 800 prices are high I'll stick with these until I see a great deal.

They are a little more pricey then the others only because of how good the cooler is(lower 60's in Heaven) and you have to admit the Asus Striker is a damn beautiful looking card

This build is pretty much near done.

All I need to do now is put 2nd GPU in when the replacement comes next week. Do the case lighting and do the most important part of this build. Install 4790K Cmon intel....????

Looks good, hows the 450D?

It's ok. The case is a lot tighter (smaller) then I first thought. Cable management is going to be tough and is tough.

I might only have this case until X-mas. I do like the In-Win D-Frame mini, but the problem there is it's only mini itx

It is my fav so far.

You should see them both light up. The red led and performance led's are cool as hell. Blue on idle, red on full load. The issue with my 2nd GPU was idle was green and full load was some kind of orange-ish red-ish yellow-ish? It was flicking.

Are you planning on attempting to over clock these cards at all?

I am debating whether to get something like a 780 CUII and maybe add another later in the year, or get two of these and have a play with over clocking until the full fat 800 seres gets launched. Man its difficult!

Of course I'll oc a little. I would do the latter. That's what I'm doing. My 2 Asus 4gb Strikers will hold me until next year. I'm in no hurry to upgrade now that I have these 2 beautiful gpu 's

What monitor do you use dude?

Dicehunter · 15 Jun 2014 at 11:46

You should have kept your 780's, would have lasted you a lot longer than those 760's

I use both my 1440p and my 1080p tv. I've been gaming more on my tv more so the 760's is more then enough.

I thought that too,but tbh mate selling my 780's now was.a better move to get the max price out of them before prices lower. Also I should get money out my Asus Strikers because of the beautiful custom cooler then a reference 780. I always look a head. My 760's are fine until 880's release.
