Category : NVIDIA
Published by Hiwa Pouri on 17.04.14
Today, ASUS lifted the NDA for their brand new Striker graphics cards. The GTX 760 sits on a custom PCB and there is also a highly capable cooler. Additionally you get a factory-overclock which deserves the attribute impressive. Overall we're curious to see what this card will pumping out in terms of performance.

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.

The card
|   
|
ASUS equipped the new ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum graphics card with its own dual-slot, dual-fan cooler. It features CoolTech fan technology, which combines axial and radial approach in one single fan in order to move more air over the heatsink at the same noise level and apart from that increase cooling efficiency. The first, or precisely, the right side fan is the standard one which provides directional airflow which is combined with the second, left side hybrid fan. The fans are in charge of cooling the hefty heatsink which features one 10mm direct-contact copper heatpipe and two 6mm, and should, according to ASUS, provide up to 30 percent cooler operation compared to reference cooled graphics cards. The ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum also comes with an aluminum back plate which should keep the backside cool as well as provide more structural ridgidity to the entire graphics card. In order to make the looks even more special, there the cards name plate features a backlight that shimmers in different colors depending on GPU load.
The ASUS ROG GTX 760 Striker
Platinum graphics card, or to be precise our sample of
it, allowed a maximum stable overclock of 1319 MHz
for the GPU and 1651 MHz on the memory side. We
used Furemark V1.11.0 Geeks3D benchmark with 15 minutes duration. With these
clocks we had to feed the GPU with 1.21 Volts and the memory ran at stock
voltages.
The custom PCB features ASUS' DIGI+ 8-phase with Black Metallic Capacitors, concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs, in order to ensure high stability. The custom PCB is not the only feature on the new GTX 760 Striker as it also comes with the ROG color-coded LED LOGO which shows GPUs load level as well as the ASUS' ROG Edition GPU Tweak which gives you precise control over GPU clock frequency, VRM and the cooler.

The memory chips used on the GTX 760 Striker are made by SKhynix and carry the model number H5GQ2H24AFR. They are specified to run at 1502 MHz (6008 MHz effective) which is a default frequency and there is no overclocking on the memory part, simply because ASUS used 4096MB of memory instead of 2048 MB, as the higher capacity memory usually mean lower overclocking possibility.

Delivery
The ASUS ROG GTX 760 graphics card ships well bolstered in a foam made mold. Bundled with the graphics card are the user guide, the driver CD and two power converter (2x6-Pin-PCIe to 1x8-Pin-PCIe). The bundle is actually quite poor for such a special edition graphics card and we would have love to see a few addtional goodies.

Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum, ASUS
has created a high-end NVIDIA based graphics cards, which comes with a
really long
feature list, including a new real/time streaming
feature for gamers. The new ASUS ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum graphics card is a great combination of performance and value and it will please mid-range gamers as well as overclockers. It is also currently the fastest GTX 760 we tested in our lab and comes with a rather high factory-overclock where the GPU clock is set at 1'150 MHz, which is 117 MHz higher than the reference design from Nvidia. ASUS also decided to use 4'096 MB instead of 2'048 MB seen on the reference design simply because a lot of gamers are currently using multi-monitor setups and when high resolution is concerned 4GB memoy is a must. The memory on the ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum is not factory-overclcoked at all, mostly due to the 4GB capacity, as higher memory capacity means lower overclocking potential. The cooler is well designed and in line with expected quality and performance for an ASUS Republic of Gamers graphics card. Overall, the new graphics card from ASUS also looks strikingly good and build quality is on a very high level, especially the Striker cooler, which recieved a black paint job and simply looks gorgeous with it. |

| Cooling / Noise Level | + | - | |
| The cooler of this new Striker card is definitely a highly capable model, although not the most sophisticated when compared to the competition. Nevertheless, the results gathered show that this cooler is quite enough for a decent factory-overclock on the GTX 760 GPU. When it comes to noise levels, the graphics card is, subjectively speaking, very silent in idle and can be also described as silent under load. Comparing the results with the reference temparature of the GTX 760, it is quite obvious that ASUS made an awesome cooler. Tempratures under load, when using Furemark, are 17 degrees lower when set auto (32%) and four degrees lower when set to 100%. | - Cooling performance

| Performance | + | - | |
| Overall performance is very good since the ROG GTX
760 Striker Platinum features a rather impressive factory-overclock
for the GPU.
On average, the graphics
card is faster than
any other design and
the cooler is making sure that it never overheats. Overall, this is the fastest GTX 760
graphics card we had in our lab
and in some benchmarks we can even compare it
with the GTX 770 and the
HD7970. The factory overclock
of the GPU to 1150 MHz and 4GB
of memory is what is
definitely needed in order to
push the GTX 760 graphics
card to its highest out-of-the-box potential. A closer look at the power consumption reveals that these figures are really good too. The idle power consumption puts the system pull at 48 Watt and under load our test system needed 255 Watts, which is perfectly in-line with competition. As we said before this graphics card is overclocked to 1150MHz which, with maximum boost of 1215 MHz, requires a bit more power but it still stays within the expected range. |

| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| So far the new ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum has not been listed yet, but the communicated price is to approximately 288 Euro. Since the feature list is rather long we expected a premium of about 50 Euro compared to a reference GTX 760 with 4 Gigabyte memory and price is acutally in line but still rather steep for a GTX 760. Overall, this is a graphics card we can definitely recommend to enthusiast gamers and we are also curious to see what overclockers around the globe are going to squeeze out of this thing. | - Enthusiast | - Price | |
| The ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum from ASUS receives 4.5 out of 5 stars. | |||
