GTX760 in my X51

[jzlim2]

Guys,

Just letting everyone know that i just fit EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Dual FTW 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler into my x51, replacing GTX660 OEM. It works well and perhaps better than GTX670 FTW (crashed often and high temperature).

cheers

nice. What are your temps under load?

hey jzlim2, can you please post the link to your card because I have a 660 OEM and want an upgrade for the long run.

@FarSolar
my temp stays below 70 degrees unless i overclock it then it sometimes will increase up to 80s.

@Krilltaz

did you have to do anything special beforehand like change cables or anything?. i have an R2 model with a 270x but would like to get some more power for some games that are coming like witcher 3 etc.

Nah man, it's all good. If there is an 8 pin plug, just plug the 6 pin in it. Should be fine. Also make sure you have the 330W PSU. It's is th big PSU and has a ground.
170W Has to be the TDP for any GFX to work.

i never used the geforce brand before, I always heared it was better but can this card handle ultra settings on most games? I can run high now on most above 60fps without AA etc though.

DJaymo. What game do you want me to bench and il bench it tonight and take a video.

BF4 or something like that if you play it. anything thats demanding that you play that would be kool.
