GTX 760 vs GTX 760mini...?

Hi!

So I was wondering, are they both equally powerful? GTX 760 is pretty big one, so does it lose power in mini size?
For my setup, mini version is very needed. My case is very small, and might not handle the bigger version.

I found that the mini version is a bit more expensive, but it's not a big problem. And just to make sure, does the mini have as much power consumption as the GTX 760?

If you're referring to the MSI GeForce GTX 760 GAMING ITX card , no the size doesn't reduce performance to a noticeable degree. The clock speeds are reduced slightly out of the box, and the overclocking head room is probably a little lower on the smaller card do due its size. Nothing to worry about.

I have two of them in sli and they're great, they don't get too loud unless you're really doing graphic intensive things like benchmarking. They also are good for mining if you're into gaming by day and mining by night, that is if you don't pay the power bill. The stock cooler has pretty intuitive fan that's a mix between a radial and axial fan. I've been nothing but pleased with them. Plus they come with a back plate which does dissipate some heat. I could run BF4, Titanfall, and Starcraft 2 on ultra before I got my second one too.

Plus on 3D mark I got a better score than my buddy and he has one EVGA GTX 780 and an Ivy Bridge i7k

It DOES, if you don't pay the electric bill.
If you do then yes it is not worth it.

Anything is a good miner when you don't pay the electric bill dude. "I don't like free money" -said no one ever

Thanks all! Now I just need to go and buy the card from somewhere. Sadly its about 40$ more expensive than the regular one.
