NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Review Feat. MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition

Updated: June 25, 2013

Speeds and Feeds

All variations of the new GeForce GTX 760 will ship with 6 SMX units providing 1152 CUDA Cores that are the powerhouse components behind NVIDIA’s technology.

The memory subsystem of GeForce GTX 760 consists of four 64-bit memory controllers (256-bit) and comes loaded with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.

This is actually the same as almost every card in the 7 series albeit the extreme high-end bad boys like the GTX 780 with 3GB and the Titan and GTX 690 with 6.GB that also carry a very high price tag as well.

The base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 760 is 980MHz. The MSI Twin Frozr is set at 1022MHz. The typical Boost Clock speed for the reference card is 1033MHz, while the Boost on the MSI card is at 1085Mhz.

The Boost 2.0 clock speed is based on the average GeForce GTX 760 heat pattern that we see averaged around 81 Celsius under full load and limiting the headroom of the cards overclocking capabilities.

The Boost speed can vary depending on system configurations and game title. We see the GeForce GTX 760’s memory speed is set at a 6008MHz data rate.

Reference based cards will have a total memory bandwidth of 193.26GB/s and a memory clock speed of 1502MHz. Both the reference based card and the MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition card will have a memory clock speed of 1502MHz.

There is usually not too much of a variation on the basic design of the cards component list and the changes we usually see are in the company that manufactures the parts and the cooling apparatus used to cool the card down. Speeds and feeds only change in how fast one element or another is clocked on different manufactures cards.
