Presentation

It might come as a surprise to see yet another high-end graphics cards being launched by ASUS, but today we will be checking out the latest ASUS Republic of Gamers series graphics card which is a part of the GTX 760 lineup, the ASUS ROG GTX 760 Striker. According to ASUS, the GTX 760 Strike is all about cherry-picking GPUs in order to make sure that they all run at high factory overclock. We must note that ASUS did a great job as the clock speeds for this GTX 760 are quite impressive. With 1085 MHz GPU baseclock and 1150 MHz GPU boost clock we are looking at 105 MHz and 117 MHz overclock compared to the reference design. It appears that simply cherry-picking the GPUs for this card would have been too easy, so ASUS went ahead and created another custom design, where they have deployed their famous DIGI+ circuitry in combination with high quality components.

As you can see from the GPU-Z screen below, ASUS' ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum packs Nvidia's 28nm GK104-225 A2 GPU with 1152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs and 32 ROPs, as well as a massive factory overclock. While the reference GTX 760 sticks to 980MHz for the base GPU and 1033 MHz for the GPU Boost clock, the ASUS ROG GTX 760Striker Platinum works at 1085 MHz GPU base clock and 1150 MHz GPU Boost clocks while the 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface ended up clocked at reference 6008 MHz.

ASUS ROG Striker Platinum promises 10 percent better peformance out of the box and comes packed with features aimed at enthusiasts, overclockers as well as those looking to get best possible piece of hardware in its specific category.
