A Closer Look


The Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC uses a triple 80mm fan cooler and a glossy piano black finish that is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. This is Gigabyte’s trademark WindForce 3X 450W capable VGA cooling solution.

The PCB may irritate some people as Gigabyte have opted for a blue PCB when nowadays most people seem to prefer black, very dark brown or even white. The graphics card measures in at 12cm tall and 27.5cm long as well as taking up two PCI slots in thickness.

Underneath that plastic shroud we find three 8mm copper direct contact heatpipes feeding into two separate dense aluminium heatsink stacks. There is also a separate heatsink underneath to cool the VRM circuitry.

At the top we find a pair of SLI fingers for up to 3 way SLI, a very nice addition for such a budget orientated graphics card. The card draws power from a single 6 pin PCIe and a single 8 pin PCIe.

Underneath that shroud you can see the density of the aluminium heatsinks used as well as the part number which is GV-N760OC-2GD REV:1.0

The other side reveals a rather dense clustering of capacitors around the VRM area.

Here more closely we can see that the second heatsink is slightly raised up to allow for the VRM heatsink underneath it to fit.

At the end of the unit we can see the three heatpipes passing out of the heatsink, they are all capped.

The connectors are Display Port, HDMI, Dual Link DVI and Single Link DVI.

A TechPowerUp GPU-Z profile points out the key details such as 2048MB of VRAM and clock speeds of 1085/1502(6008)/1150MHz core/memory/boost.
