Only a small number of hardcore gamers can afford to pay more than €/$250 for a graphics card. More powerful cards can deliver more eye candy, but for 1080p gaming the GTX 760 should meet the needs of most consumers. Prices start at a rather modes 220 euro and cards that fall in this this recession friendly price bracket are traditionally viewed as the weapon of choice for most gamers, the tradition continues.

The EVGA GTX 760 SC ACX starts at about 240 euro and it is a good example of how a custom design can do a lot for the card and make it more attractive. In addition to good looks, the GTX 760 SC ACX performs better compared to reference cards, thanks to a high factory overclock.  In addition, the GTX 760 SC ACX is overclocking friendly and it allowed us to increase the clock to 1162MHz with relative ease. That’s 182MHz above the reference clock.

The GTX 760 SC ACX served us well and if you are after 1080p gaming, cranking up the settings to the High in graphics-intensive games should not be a problem for this card, and the scores prove it.

The ACX cooler is a good performer, but we expected a bit less noise. The cooler is by no means too noisy and it has a lot of headroom for tweaking. If you’re not going after the highest possible clock, it will be quiet, as it keeps the card roughly 10 degrees Celsius cooler than the reference cooler.

The GeForce GTX 760 will be replacing the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in Nvidia’s lineup, but there is really no reason to replace upgrade from a GTX 660 Ti to a GTX 760. The GTX 760 is a good choice for gamers using older Geforce or Radeon cards.

The card strikes a good balance between price and performance, coupled with a powerful cooler and loads of overclocking potential hence it gets out Top Value award.
