About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2013 with a MSRP of $249. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 760 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,502 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 760 includes 1,152 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 980 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,032 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 760 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 170 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 760 has the 208th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.61% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 7,962 score and $249 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 31.98. This is the 77th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 960M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80.19 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 960M includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,097 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,176 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 960M has the 243rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.05% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
