MSI 760 OC De boxing

the BF3 test, very fast FPS very smooth.

GPU temperature under load max 42 degrees. However not 100% usage, max 75% or so. very quiet, less noise than the new AC 7 pro I just installed:/

Nice one mate :D Picked up a couple of KFA2 EX's and running in SLi...quite impressed to say the least!

They are pretty impressive mate I have to say. Yes it appears to be a cut down GTX 670 on the surfact but with GPU Boost 2.0 the clocks are pushed all the harder.

Certainly seem to have a lot of headroom on mines but I'll test them out properly at the weekend and see what I can get out of them.

Very nice m I haven't even botheted to overclock mine as im happy with performance anyway. Two in sli must churn some serious fps!

Indeed they do mate...SLi has come a long way it seems since I last tried it out :p

Metro Last Light benched at 58.99fps @ 1080p with advanced PhysX on which was pretty darn impressive. Will run it later without PhysX on to get an idea of how it compares from the other benchmarks out there.

The GPU score on 3D Mark certainly surpasses Titan performance also which is also nice to see.

I only stuck around 75mhz on the core and +240 on the Mem and of course +125 for the power limit.

Played some rounds of Battlefield last night and couldn't believe how smooth it was and this is coming from an HD7970 X Edition.

So far I'm more than happy...and hey in the future you will easily be able to get another for even cheaper to SLi
 
Mine's going back tomorrow. I can't get the drivers to work at all - there seem to be three? sets for the GTX760 and they all give the same problems. BSODs, freezing and lockups, explorer crashes, and driver recovery errors.

It's a shame as I think the upgrade would be nice but I can't seem to last more than about 30 seconds in Windows without it all going wrong. :(

I don't have another system to test the card in, but if I pop my HD7850 back in and install the latest AMD drivers all is well again, so it certainly looks like driver problems or a hardware combination that I have that is irritating the card.

Gutted.

Damn, that sucks Tute...

I take it you tried driver sweeper etc? I had a few problems getting the cards to display to begin with but that was all caused by my pesky i7 3770k and its integrated graphics :rolleyes:

I just installed the latest WHQL drivers and they've been golden for me...possibly just a bad card? Shame you can't test it in another system though.

Yeah i've tried four fresh Windows installs in case it was something to do with an update but it's the same symptoms. The card itself is fine on DP until I install the drivers, then it goes wrong. Interestingly, on DVI I get green lines on the screen at bootup.

If only I had another PC to try it on, alas we have one PC and three laptops, lolz.

Sounds like it will be a bad card unfortunately from what you're describing...especially if everything is perfectly normal when you put the AMD card back in. I'm just happy I picked two and they seem to be ok together...so far :p

Some pics...as we need more in this thread :)

Both the boxes...

I must admit this is one stunning card, absolutely love the cooler and yes...it works well.

Bit blurry...had to abandon the Micro ATX cases and back to the Corsair I go...

On the other side of the shroud, does it say GeForce 600 series? Mine does lol
Click to expand...

On the interior case picture (above) it doesn't appear too.

The KFA cards do look really good. I like the somewhat aggressive approach they have taken with the cooling shroud.

I prefer my GTX780 cooler (Titan blower FTW :p), but I would have no issues going with a KFA card in the future.
 
I had a kfa2 gtx460 but I sent it back it was that loud. Hopefully they have improved the fan noise now.

But no gtx should be crashing drivers or anything of the kind. Mine is flawless all thr time, as was gtx460 on pretty much any driver set m
 
Will overclockers be stocking any 4gb 760 cards? In particular the kfa2 model as I think it might be cheaper than the evga version? I know I don't need the extra 2gb ram now but for the sake of £20-£30 more might as well go 4gb as kill zone shadow fall on ps4 uses 3gb for graphics alone
