Colorful has decided to launch a pair of GTX 760 graphics cards that are quite unique considering that they are based on the GTX 680 PCB rather than the GTX 670 one.
As you may already know, the recently launched GTX 760 is pretty much based on the GTX 670 PCB and paired up with a cooler similar to the one on the GTX 660. In order to make things a bit more interesting and to full take advantage of the pin-compatibility, Colorful decided to go for a much better GTX 680 PCB and pair it up with a reference GTX 680 blower fan. It also decided to enable all five NVVDC phases but still retained the card at reference 980MHz base, 1033MHz Boost and 6.0GHz memory clocks which means that you will get a decent overclocking headroom with this one.

The Colorful second GTX 760 card is a part of the premium offer and will be sold under the iGame GTX 760 Ymir-U name. It uses a different cooler with silver-plated aluminum heatsink combined with 8mm and 6mm heatpipes and cooled by a pair of 90mm fans. It also uses a custom PCB with 8-phase VRM and dual-BIOS option. While first BIOS makes the card to run on its reference clocks, the performance one takes it up to 1019MHz base and 1072MHz GPU Boost clocks.

As it was the case with all previous Colorful graphics cards, these will also first show up in Greater China region while Europe and the rest of the world should get them at a later date.
