NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Review: The New Enthusiast Kepler
by Ryan Smith on June 25, 2013 9:00 AM ESTBioshock Infinite
Bioshock Infinite is Irrational Games’ latest entry in the Bioshock franchise. Though it’s based on Unreal Engine 3 – making it our obligatory UE3 game – Irrational had added a number of effects that make the game rather GPU-intensive on its highest settings. As an added bonus it includes a built-in benchmark composed of several scenes, a rarity for UE3 engine games, so we can easily get a good representation of what Bioshock’s performance is like.
The 9th benchmark in our suite, our performance data is becoming increasingly consistent. Once more the GTX 760 surpasses the 7950B, this time by 7% at our highest 1080p settings, with both cards offering enough punch to pass 60fps. Meanwhile it’s not quite as close to the GTX 670 as it is in some other games, but nevertheless it’s another case of where the closest 600 series card is the GTX 670 and not the GTX 660 Ti.

Did the CMS eat the final page again? Everything looks fine on my end.karasaj - Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - link
The final page was missing when I first looked, after about 5 minutes it seemed cleared up :)ilkhan - Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - link
Crysis 1 was an excellent template for the kind of performance required to driver games for the next few years, and Crysis 3 looks to be much the same for 2013.I think you meant "drive" not "driver"

Indeed. Thank you. Fixed.Guspaz - Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - link
tl;dr: It's a GeForce GTX 670 for $100 less.That's not a dig on the article, it's well written, but that does seem to be what I'm reading from all the test results.

Very informative review. The GTX 760 is undoubtedly a potential buy.I wonder if my i5-2310 2.9GHz (locked CPU) would manage to handle this little beast fully overclocked?

AMD will now have to sell the 7970 for $200 and bundle 12 games with it.
