6gb GTX 760?

[MrVin]

I've just stumbled onto the GB-BXi5G-760. A mini pc with a GTX 760 6GB. Since when is there a 6GB 760 and does anyone know If this mini PC can be upgraded? The GTX 760 is intriguing, I would like to see more info on it. Anyone?......

There is no 6GB 760.
I see the product you are talking about, but that seems wrong. Amazon says 3GB, Gigabyte says 6, I say no.

Indeed. Looks like it is just for marketing purposes. Too bad there is no actual benchmarks of it on that site though. Unlikely it would make any difference anyway, not like you would be able to play at 4k+ with one.

I found this, http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/systems/72173-gigabyte-brix-gaming-gb-bxi5g-760/?page=2 It says something about being based on an 870M?

 

[Gam3r01]

Yeah, no benchmarks but they did say it performed close to a real 760, which is not too impressive these days.

IDK about the 760 not being impressive. People who have igpu or APU's are likely going to find the 870M to be an amazing experience.

The 870m has a shadder count which seems to be a lot higher than the 760. I'm surprised and somewhat intrigued.

I should clarify, the 760 still does well (mine is holding its own in GTA and even FO4 (on minimum settings)), im just not impressed by it anymore.
