KFA2 Geforce GTX760 EX OC Review

The KFA2 GTX760 EX OC ships in an artistic box featuring some kind of mutant character wearing a gas mask. Maybe he just popped over from Metro Last Light.

The bundle includes two power converter cables, a video converter, a software disc and some KFA2 literature. We would recommend you always snag the latest drivers from Nvidia's website.

Well you couldn't say that this cooler design has been used before. It is a radical new dual slot design which looks like it could cause some damage to your fingers if handled carelessly. The PCB is black.

The card is SLi capable in 2, 3 and 4 way configurations.

If you have been paying attention then you will remember the reference GTX760 takes power from two 6 pin PCIe connectors, but the KFA2 GTX760 EX OC replaces one of the 6 pin headers with an 8 pin header. KFA2 are allowing for a slightly higher power draw with this particular design.

If you want to clean the card, you can detach the fan sections by removing some screws, shown above. This is a pretty cool idea and certainly makes it easier to get at the individual card sections.

The cooler is a substantial four heatpipe design connected to a nickel plated base. KFA2 are using high grade Hynix GDDR5 on this card. If you want to analyse the PCB in more detail, check out the high resolution gallery on the next page.

The card has two dual link DVI connectors, alongside a single HDMI and DisplayPort connector.

The KFA2 GTX760 EX OC beside Nvidia's reference GTX760 (above). One of them is very plain, the other is very sexy. You choose.

An overview of the KFA2 GTX760 EX OC. The GK104 core is built on the 28nm manufacturing process. The card has 32 ROPs, 96 TMU's and 1,152 CUDA cores. The 2GB of GDDR5 memory is connected via a 256 bit memory interface. As we mentioned earlier, the core is overclocked from 980mhz to 1,059mhz which will give it a slight edge over the reference sample. We will try overclocking it further, later in the review.
