Nvidia has officially lifted the NDA on its latest Geforce GTX 700 series graphics card, the Geforce GTX 760. Based on quite famous GK104 GPU that was behind the GTX 770 as well as some earlier GTX 600 series graphics cards, the GTX 760 packs 1152 CUDA cores, 2GB of memory and should put a lot of pressure on AMD's Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards.
As noted, the Geforce GTX 760 is based on a version of the quite famous GK104 GPU and packs 1152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs and packs 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. It is built around a shorter PCB and features a standard dual-slot blower style cooler.
The reference design works at 980MHz base and 1033MHz GPU Boost clocks while 2GB of GDDR5 memory ended up at 6.0GHz adding up to 192GB/s of memory bandwidth. It also comes with Nvidia GPU Boost 2.0 technology that should provide more sustainable GPU Boost clock states and also features 3-way and 4-way SLI support as well as two DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
While 2GB of memory sounds a bit short for today's games, Nvidia made a great move by allowing partners to come up with custom designs from day one so it is just a matter of time before we see a 4GB version as well.
With a quite surprising price of US $249.99, the GTX 760 is a real winner considering that it ends up faster and also cheaper than the GTX 660 Ti predecessor and should also put a lot of pressure on AMD's Radeon HD 7950 lineup.
