Thanks for the review Tom!
Reading through it now!
I've been excited for this card. If it's better/similair to the 660 Ti it might end up in my next rig

Thanks for the review Tom, quick question: on page 1 it mentions a 230 pounds price while on page 17 it's 210 pounds?
Was really hoping to see how these were compared to the 660 TI cards, oh well. Sure hope they come in at a lower price, just can't see myself going for these for a new system otherwise, much rather stay with older cards then.

Aria have a reference one on preorder for £190, not bad at that price.

Re the price issue. Our reviews are often written prior to NDAs being lifted and so we can only go on the price that retailers think the product will arrive at. It's why we have a price link at the top of the page which covers the actual cost.
But you're all intelligent people. We're sure that you can understand prices are subject to change... can't you?
However, on the off-chance that you're unable to read the price at the top, or reconcile the difference between a MSRP and actual street price, I've edited the first page to reflect the actual price.

^^ thnx, prices are indeed subject to change, just didn't expect them to change within the review itself
It has a 240 euro suggested price over here, with prices at Aria coming in at ~190 pound I am indeed expecting ~225 euro prices over here, making it a pretty nice price, still a bit below the 7950 and 660 ti's. Still, it's hard to pick a gpu solution for higher than 1080p resolutions, looking forward to 760 sli tests

I heard they just cut some of the cores off with some scissors

Yeah, the 760 is basically a slightly cut down 670 with a larger memory bandwidth.
Like the 770 was a slightly faster 680, the 760 is a slightly slower 670.
Same PCB and GPU core, all they have done is taken the the 670 and changed a few things and named it the 760.
For the price though, it's the best midrange card out at the moment, it mostly beats the 7950 and 660TI anyway. Like Tom said in the review though, if you already have a AMD or Nvidia card from this generation, then no point in getting one. But for those upgrading it's the card to get at them moment.

I was going to say I was going to like the 760 DCU2, but it has no backplate and a pretty small pcb. So it's going to be either the EVGA ACX or the MSI 760 Gaming Edition

Well priced in the US
I realize a lot of lads here live in the UK, but to those who live in the US, the pricing is really advantageous to the GTX 760. HD7870s are going for $215-245 new, and a HD7950 will be from $290-320. The 660ti (which the 760 beats) is around $300. I just ordered my GTX 760 SC from EVGA with the ACX cooler for only $259 and I've seen a lot of situations in which it will match a 7950 (only in certain games of course). Seems like a good deal, just another view guys.

Will there be a 760Ti
So I've been using a 560Ti for the last couple of years, but it's just not realistic to get "Good" frame rates running games like Far Cry 3 or Battlefield 3 whilst in 3D.
I'm seriously hoping the GTX 760Ti will be coming out, I could wait until late August time or I could just get a 760 instead of waiting for a card that's not coming
I'm not exactly loaded so I'm wondering if upgrading will be worth it at all in terms of real world performance with a GTX 760/760Ti
