EVGA GeForce GTX760 Dual Superclocked ACX Cooler 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 Double BIOS Dual-Link DVI-I/DVI-D HDMI SLI Graphics Cards 02G-P4-3765-KR

I was a little skeptical of EVGA's ACX cooler, and NVidia's GTX 760 GPU since typically AMD has a much better value, but artificial mining inflation, and limited availability for the competition forced me to get this card. I do NOT regret this decision.I realize that this is a SuperClocked card, meaning EVGA took the GTX 760, overclocked it quite a bit, and backs it with a warranty, but the ACX cooler and GTX 760 GPU has way more potential. The reference clock speed on the GTX 760 is 1033MHz Boost, the SuperClock is 1137MHz Boost (10% increase, which is a solid overclock), but I opened up EVGA's Precision X, raised the power limit, and set a thermal limit to 75c (pretty cool, most GPU's can run 85c normally), and this card stays at a near constant Boost clock of 1203MHz! That's over 16% clock speed increase, which is a remarkable overclock, and that is without touching any offsets! I'm sure I could squeeze a bit more out it, but I don't like messing with Offsets instead of absolute numbers.With this beast, it eats up everything I throw at it at 1080p, high settings at 60FPS or more. I have yet to 100% utilize this GPU outside of torture tests and benchmarks, and it's held back by the famous 2500k running at stock clocks. I'm sure if I re-apply my 4.5GHz OC, this card will be the perfect balanced match for my system. Games I play include Battlefield 3, CoD: Black Ops II, Skyrim (heavily modded), NBA 2k14, Tomb Raider, and Batman Arkham series. The only game that fails the Ultra settings @ 60FPS mark is Skryim, but considering GPU usage is only 60-80%, it's most certainly held back by the CPU and is still around 45 FPS. I'm very impressedAs for the card itself, it's proven to have an effective cooler, but not only is the ACX cooling unit effective, it's also very attractive cooler that is pleasing to look at. I seriously had to look at the card for a good 30 minutes admiring the design and elegant aesthetics before actually installing it in my system, and I'm very sad that my case window doesn't show it off. It looks fantastic with my Black Nickel-plated Dark Knight cooler.As for the draw-backs, not pertaining to EVGA or the physical card. I find GeForce Experience really annoying, but it can be very helpful to those less savvy users to dial in their games' detail settings to get a balanced experience, though at this point for me, it's crank the eye-candy all the way up and enjoy.If you're in the market for a GPU that can play most games at 1920x1080 in high - ultra/max details, this is the GPU to get, as it lands right in that sweet spot for high-performance and value. All the EVGA touches are just bonuses. I highly recommend it.

Fan made a horrible clicking noise.

First the negative... When you advertise a REBATE... you need to honor the REBATE.The website [...] has been down... the site states "down for maintenance" ... May I ask... how long does maintenance take? So today is March 26th... I have been trying to log into the website to apply for the rebate since March 8th. No luck as of 5:06 pm Eastern time, March 26th. Rebate - $20.00, Must be postmarked 30 days from purchase. ... I have tried to post the rebate every other day... cannot! For this reason, I am assigning 1 star!Once I get the Rebate... then will change the rating.The GTX 760 - the card is terrific! Has exceeded my expectations. Would recommend the card for anyone looking for mid-priced, solid performance, card!EVGA - I know this is not your issue, but it does reflect poorly on both Amazon.com and EVGA!

**** UPDATE 2/16/2014 ****************Knocking off 1 star, crashed on two of my games (CS source and SC 2). The card is good when it works but annoying when it crashes. One more crash and I'll definitely return this 2nd card.I really WANT to love this card. I had good experience with EVGA GTX 580, never had this problem. Don't really need a very fast card, only switched to a more power-efficient 760. The 580 is still solid though.**************************************This for xxx3765-KR model of evga gtx 760 with dual BIOS and came with a free backplate(wow!)It's a nice looking card, i love the design. It's fast and can play a lot of games in high - ultra/extreme settings. But that doesn't mean fps won't dip low, like in Tomb Raider (~20+ fps). Unigine valley out-of-the box score 1700-1720. Overclocked can take you a little over 1800s. That's 1080p @ extreme. Overall, its performance is good but not impressive. At this price point, it beats a lot of other gpu cards plus it's quiet and a little power efficient, too!Now on to the cons:- Reliability. I returned 1 card to amazon due to stuttering and artifacts. Local electronics store near my area has a few 'open' boxes of this evga gtx 760.- that backplate is a must! The card is on the flimsy side- i sometimes hear rattling, but not at objectionable level- precision x software (latest version) makes card glitchy- secondary bios doesn't offer any improvement besides backup. Evga should have been clear which models has performance benefits (if there's anything at all)- included manual/instructions aren't well-thought out; should have been clear and specific to the gtx model- price is close to the cheapest gtx 770 (PNY?)It's still a good buy even if i have reliability concerns. Evga is offering 3-yr warranty anyways and this is probably the fastest gtx 760 you could get without OC-ing.

This card and brand are dead to me. The first one that I purchased flaked out after 1 week of full operation, barely even had a chance to attempt to stress the card out. It would make a high pitched whine when it started to render 3D games and would randomly crash, BSOD, and the driver would reset or the whole system would start stuttering because of the graphics card.The replacement card was DOA and would not power up. Hardly 'Superclocked' when it won't even power up.System specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/cuda1791/saved/XFHRsY
