About NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 X2
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 X2 is a Kepler-architecture graphics card built on the GK104 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 28 nm process with 3,540 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It was released on November 18, 2013, and is now classified as end-of-life, sitting between the GeForce 600 and GeForce 900 generations. The card holds a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, indicating it sits exactly at the median performance level. Its specification sheet lists a base clock of 1006 MHz, a boost clock of 1072 MHz, and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 192.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU is equipped with 1152 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, yielding peak theoretical rates of 2.470 TFLOPS FP32, 102.9 GTexel/s, and 25.73 GPixel/s.
Benchmark Performance
The fact pack for the GTX 760 X2 does not include any benchmark scores or a list of nearest rivals, so direct performance comparisons cannot be drawn from the data. However, the 50th percentile ranking across all GPUs provides a positional anchor: the card is exactly in the middle of the database's performance distribution, meaning it outperforms half of all recorded GPUs and falls behind the other half. This median placement is consistent with the card's mid-2013 release and its position between the GeForce 600 and GeForce 900 lines.
The raw compute and memory figures offer a basis for understanding its theoretical capabilities. The FP32 throughput of 2.470 TFLOPS is derived from 1152 shading units running at the boost clock, and it represents the card's peak single-precision compute capacity. The texture rate of 102.9 GTexel/s, driven by 96 TMUs, and the pixel rate of 25.73 GPixel/s, from 32 ROPs, are proportional to the clock and unit counts. Memory bandwidth of 192.3 GB/s is a product of the 256-bit bus and the effective 6 Gbps GDDR5 data rate, which is a common configuration for GPUs of that generation.
Without benchmark results, the percentile value is the only direct performance indicator. The absence of an average benchmark score (listed as 0) further confirms that no aggregate performance data has been recorded for this specific SKU. The card's boost clock of 1072 MHz is 66 MHz above the base, a modest dynamic range that suggests consistent sustained performance under load. The 2 GB memory capacity, while adequate for its era, may limit texture-heavy workloads at high resolutions, but the 256-bit bus mitigates some of that constraint through higher bandwidth per byte.
In summary, the data shows a GPU with balanced compute, texture, and pixel throughput, positioned at the median of the database. Without rival scores or a benchmark average, the percentile is the only quantitative comparative measure available.
Power and Cooling
The GTX 760 X2 carries a thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W, which is a significant power draw for a single-GPU card of its time. The recommended power supply unit (PSU) is 600 W, a figure that accounts for the card's consumption plus the rest of the system. The card requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, which are necessary to deliver the 250 W TDP. This connector configuration is typical for high-end GPUs from the Kepler era, and the dual-slot cooler design is sized to dissipate the heat generated by the 28 nm chip.
The 279 mm (11 inch) length of the card is a practical consideration for case compatibility; it is a full-length board that will require sufficient clearance in most mid-tower and full-tower chassis. The dual-slot footprint means the card occupies two expansion slots, reducing available space for adjacent components. The power delivery system, with two 8-pin connectors, is rated to supply up to 150 W per connector, exceeding the card's TDP requirement, which provides headroom for transient power spikes.
The 250 W TDP is a key specification for system builders. A 600 W PSU is recommended, but the actual system power draw will depend on the rest of the components. The card's end-of-life status suggests that its power efficiency is not competitive with modern GPUs, but the data does not include any efficiency metrics. The cooling solution, being dual-slot, likely uses a combination of heat pipes and fans, though specific cooler design details are not provided in the fact pack. The 28 nm process node, while mature, is less efficient than later nodes, contributing to the relatively high TDP.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The GTX 760 X2 does not include dedicated ray tracing (RT) cores or tensor cores; the fact pack lists both as null. This means the card relies on traditional rasterization and compute shaders for rendering, with no hardware-accelerated ray tracing or AI-based features. The API support, however, is notable for its time: DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.175. The DirectX 12 version is listed as "12 (11_0)", which indicates that the card supports DirectX 12 feature level 11_0, not the full DirectX 12 feature set. This is typical of Kepler GPUs, which predate full DirectX 12 support.
OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.2.175 are more modern API versions, and their presence suggests that driver updates have extended the card's compatibility beyond its original release. Vulkan 1.2.175 is a relatively recent version, indicating that the card can run applications using Vulkan's advanced features, though without RT or tensor cores, it cannot take advantage of ray tracing or DLSS-like technologies. The display outputs are three DVI ports and one mini-DisplayPort 1.2, which allows for multi-monitor setups but lacks HDMI output; adapters would be needed for HDMI connections.
The absence of RT and tensor cores is a clear limitation for modern workloads that rely on those features. The card's architecture, Kepler, was designed before ray tracing became mainstream, so it is not expected to handle such tasks. The API support, however, ensures that the card can run a wide range of DirectX 12, Vulkan, and OpenGL applications, albeit with reduced performance compared to newer GPUs. The 2 GB memory size also constrains texture and geometry complexity in modern titles.

How It Compares
The fact pack for the GTX 760 X2 does not include any nearest rivals, so no direct comparative analysis against specific competitor GPUs is possible. The percentile ranking of 50 indicates that the card sits at the median of all GPUs in the database, but without named rivals, we cannot quantify the performance delta relative to any particular product. The absence of an average benchmark score further limits the ability to place the card in a performance hierarchy. The data does provide a context through its generation: it is positioned between the GeForce 600 and GeForce 900 series, which suggests it is a mid-generation refresh. However, without specific rival data, any comparison must remain qualitative, based on the card's own specifications rather than head-to-head metrics. The card's 2.470 TFLOPS FP32 and 192.3 GB/s bandwidth are its key computed figures, but without rival numbers, we cannot state how they stack up. The 50th percentile is the only direct comparative indicator, and it places the card exactly at the midpoint of the database's performance spectrum.
