MSI GTX 760 Mini-ITX Gaming 2 GB

W1zzard · Jan 24, 2014

The MSI GTX 760 Mini-ITX Gaming should definitely be on your short list if you are looking to build a SFF gaming PC or compact Steam Box. It runs quieter than any other compact graphics card we ever tested, yet still has enough power to play all the latest titles at full HD, with maximized settings.

The second to last picture on "The Card" page is broken. It is showing:

There is an extra enter in there. :toast:

Also on "A Closer Look" it says:

The card requires two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. This configuration is good for up to 375 W of power draw.

Shouldn't it be one 8-Pin?

Nice. Low noise, lower power, small foot print without the awkward out jutting of the Asus mini cards. Would be good in a steambox.

these mini-itx gfx i would like to see with 4gigs of ram if you want to run 1440p for more and more games at this range of cards, even ino that a GTX770/780/Ti would be better but also more priced.

No way you can run such resolutions with a GTX 760, the GPU is too slow for that.

says the man who tested this card at 2560x1600 :toast:

Look at FPS rates in my results, not very playable. GTX 760 is for 1080p, not higher. Even if it had 4 GB it wouldn't be any faster, feel free to google around for reviews of 4 GB cards. I haven't reviewed any GTX 760 4 GB because I keep telling manufacturers it's a waste of money, so they won't send samples, because they expect a bad review.

erm isn't around 50fps in like BioShock Infinite playable?

i know that without AA it don't look as good as with AA on, but looks playable to me.

because i am thinking about getting a 1440p monitor later this year with the maskine i got now, but i don't play many new games anymore and i think that my GTX670 is doing fine.

W1zzard · Jan 30, 2014

In that game it's ok. But Bioshock Infinite uses very little VRAM anyway, so no way you'll see a difference with 4 GB. If you don't want to believe me, go buy a 4 GB card and feel good about it.

I believed games like Skyrim with ENB mod can benefit form more 4GB VRAM with 760 and CoD: Ghosts.

You're still playing Skyrim?

Technically no, but it's fun messing around with those high-res mods for eye candy and benchmarking purpose. :toast:

Way to sound snide.

Doesn't this have the same "extra width" as Asus?

W1zzard · Jan 30, 2014

Yes, I think the footprint is exactly the same

etayorius · Jan 30, 2014

How about taking a few points to all GeForce cards for not supporting MANTLE, just as you took several points a couple years back to Radeon cards which not supported PhysX.

Fair is Fair.

Fluffmeister · Jan 31, 2014

AMD are struggling to support Mantle at the moment, patience young one.

Here's the VRAM usage of CoD: Ghosts from HardwarePal

The difference is that a number of games supported PhysX. Mantle just got its first supportive game today. It's not relevant yet. Also he didn't really take points off. It was just a bullet point.

that was actually a good question and an answer since the cards almost look identical :lovetpu:

Got my MSI 760 mini, sweet! If it's "louder" than the 650 it replaced, I can't tell. It's very quiet. (Newegg has $20 off + free S/H + free AC4 right now.)
