Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum, ASUS
has created a high-end NVIDIA based graphics cards, which comes with a
really long
feature list, including a new real/time streaming
feature for gamers. The new ASUS ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum graphics card is a great combination of performance and value and it will please mid-range gamers as well as overclockers. It is also currently the fastest GTX 760 we tested in our lab and comes with a rather high factory-overclock where the GPU clock is set at 1'150 MHz, which is 117 MHz higher than the reference design from Nvidia. ASUS also decided to use 4'096 MB instead of 2'048 MB seen on the reference design simply because a lot of gamers are currently using multi-monitor setups and when high resolution is concerned 4GB memoy is a must. The memory on the ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum is not factory-overclcoked at all, mostly due to the 4GB capacity, as higher memory capacity means lower overclocking potential. The cooler is well designed and in line with expected quality and performance for an ASUS Republic of Gamers graphics card. Overall, the new graphics card from ASUS also looks strikingly good and build quality is on a very high level, especially the Striker cooler, which recieved a black paint job and simply looks gorgeous with it. |

| The cooler of this new Striker card is definitely a highly capable model, although not the most sophisticated when compared to the competition. Nevertheless, the results gathered show that this cooler is quite enough for a decent factory-overclock on the GTX 760 GPU. When it comes to noise levels, the graphics card is, subjectively speaking, very silent in idle and can be also described as silent under load. Comparing the results with the reference temparature of the GTX 760, it is quite obvious that ASUS made an awesome cooler. Tempratures under load, when using Furemark, are 17 degrees lower when set auto (32%) and four degrees lower when set to 100%. | - Cooling performance

| Overall performance is very good since the ROG GTX
760 Striker Platinum features a rather impressive factory-overclock
for the GPU.
On average, the graphics
card is faster than
any other design and
the cooler is making sure that it never overheats. Overall, this is the fastest GTX 760
graphics card we had in our lab
and in some benchmarks we can even compare it
with the GTX 770 and the
HD7970. The factory overclock
of the GPU to 1150 MHz and 4GB
of memory is what is
definitely needed in order to
push the GTX 760 graphics
card to its highest out-of-the-box potential. A closer look at the power consumption reveals that these figures are really good too. The idle power consumption puts the system pull at 48 Watt and under load our test system needed 255 Watts, which is perfectly in-line with competition. As we said before this graphics card is overclocked to 1150MHz which, with maximum boost of 1215 MHz, requires a bit more power but it still stays within the expected range. |

| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| So far the new ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum has not been listed yet, but the communicated price is to approximately 288 Euro. Since the feature list is rather long we expected a premium of about 50 Euro compared to a reference GTX 760 with 4 Gigabyte memory and price is acutally in line but still rather steep for a GTX 760. Overall, this is a graphics card we can definitely recommend to enthusiast gamers and we are also curious to see what overclockers around the globe are going to squeeze out of this thing. | - Enthusiast | - Price | |
| The ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum from ASUS receives 4.5 out of 5 stars. | |||
