Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| EVGA’ brand new GeForce GTX 760 SuperClocked ACX is quite a nice piece of hardware. This custom card is not only quicker than a reference GTX 760 it also features EVGA latest and greatest ACX cooler, which is an improvement over the Signature 2 cooler but not yet perfect. Last but not least, these days EVGA is the only manufacturer of NVIDIA graphics cards, that manages to put together a really appealing game bundle and furthermore there is EVGAs compelling extended warranty offer as well as their Step-up program. |

| Cooling / Noise Level | + | - | |
| GPU Temperatures were good at maximum of 77°C under heavy FurMark load with the fans revving up to 43 percent of maximum fan speed. This new ACX cooler isn't perfect when it comes to noise level, but still when comparing it to the Signature 2 cooler it's an improvement. This cooler can be categorized as audible while gaming with a maximus noise level measured at 40.5 dBA. In idle the card i sunfortunately not noiseless, it's only silent. Looking at the cooling performance part of the equation shows, that it's powerful. | - Noise level in both idle and load | ||
| Performance | + | - | |
| A closer look at overall performance shows that the
GTX 760 SuperClocked ACX is
5 % faster on average in games than a reference GTX 760. Taking a look at the clock speed shows that this card clocks at 1'215 MHz on average, when applying heavy 3D loads. At this point one can really see GPU Boost 2.0 doing it's job, since it always tries to get the maximum clock speeds out of the card, without overstepping the 80°C temperature target. A closer look at power consumption shows, that our test system, equipped with the GTX 760 SuperClocked ACX, burns 50 Watts under idle conditions and 205 Watts under load. Since we do not yet have a reference card at hand, we can't tell you wheter this is better or worse than what NVIDIA does. |

| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| Should you be looking for a graphics card in the performance segment, that features a very decent factory overclocking, quite a decent cooler and flexible options, then the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SuperClocked ACX is going to be a good choice. | - Performance Gaming | ||
| We gave the GTX 760 SuperClocked ACX from EVGA the very good 4 out of 5 stars. | |||
