Which GTX 760? MSI, Asus, or Gigabyte(Rev2.0)

[Damon Cabal]

I'm looking between these 3 brands and am wondering which to get. I find it hard to choose between them, they seem pretty much the same.
I know that the MSI and Gigabyte cards have the highest OC out of the box compared to the asus card and i probably wont be overclocking my card.
Any help is appreciated.

I like the GB at 1085, it a sweet card, my son has one of the Asus cards and loves it

I was leaning more towards the asus and the gigabyte card. Ill most likely be going with the Gigabyte GTX 760 mainly for it having the highest clock speeds out of the box and it goes with the look of my case.
Thanks for the help 😀

I recently ran a benchmark for my EVGA GTX 760 and only scored 1091 whereas other people are scoring around 1400. My power supply is old and needs to be replaced . Could this be causing the faulty performance in unigine?

 

[Tradesman1]

Could, yes.

How can I determine if permanent damage has been done to my video card?

Also, how can I determine if my PSU has caused damage to my CPU/MOBO? This faulty PSU is scaring the crap out of me! X.X

Pick up another PSU or at least see if you can borrow one to check w/

Hey, I dont know if I can use this thread since you guys are already in a conversation. So im just gonna ask ok? Which one would be better GTX 770 from MSI, or from Asus? this question is bugging me

 

[Tradesman1]

The Asus, don't have a lot of faith in MSI or it's QC and support stinks....The Asus cards are generally always strong and have some OC headroom

Thanks

No problem, drop us an update

Also would I need a 770 card, or would a 760 do me just fine? I want to keep 60 FPS in modern games high settings

I love the 760, just currently running into component issues. My PSU is causing my rig to run all out of whack. I tested my 760 today in my friends rig and pulled a avg of 55 FPS in Hitman Absolution on ultra settings. AC3 plays around 64 FPS on max settings. Aside from that I am still running into issues when I drop the card back in my rig, now I am curious if my rig has caused permanent damage to my motherboard.

Ran the card today in my friend's rig. It ran beautifully. Now that I know the card is fine and still performs I am now drawing my attention towards the PSU. Upon putting my computer back together I investigated the ATX 12v power connector. I noticed the connector coming from the PSU actually looked a little black. The picture does not do justice to what I can see in person when I am holding the cable. The casing around two pins on the left side (1 top, 1 bottom) appears to be dark, almost black as if there was a short and the plastic got burnt by electricity. Would my computer even boot if the motherboard was damaged in this area? I am now afraid that even if I do replace the PSU, the motherboard 12v connector might have been damaged and the problem will still persist.

Yep, can't see that well but from your description would dump the PSU
