And there is, the GeForce GTX 760 ROG Striker Platinum from ASUS and yes, it is a rather cool looking bloke.The card is using an updated revision of ther DirectCU II design, which now uses thicker direct-contact copper heatpipes for pretty good heat dissipation.

The card is using a dual-slot cooler which uses two silent 90mm fans. An aluminum radiator covers the VRM and even memory area. I know, DirectCU II is a lot of marketing, but the cooler overall brings in good temperatures whilst keeping the card silent. Thats a win-win situation in my book. The cooler has two cooling fans, four nickel-plated heat pipes with at least two 10 mm pipes (three for this model), and a PCB strengthening bracket as well that functions as backplate. ASUS applied dust-proof fan technology that accelerates heat removal to ensure top-notch graphics performance that’s highly stable. The hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades, provides multi-directional airflow.

With the GeForce GTX 760 you will receive four display connectors, you'll spot a full size Display port connector, one full size HDMI connector and two DVI connectors (dual-link). You can combine these connectors to setup a surround view (multi-monitor) setup. One card will give you more than sufficient performance to play your games on three monitors. To date we still receive this question a lot, but dual-link DVI does not mean you can hook up two monitors to one connector. Dual-link means double the signal, that way monitor resolutions over 1920x1200 can be supported or you could use a 120Hz monitor. So explained very simple, dual-link DVI supports high-resolution (above 1920x1200) or high-refresh rate (120Hz) monitors.

ASUS offers this card factory clocked for you at 1085 MHz with a Boost clock of 1150 MHz. And as our article will show later on, there's a lot of room left for tweaking as we got this little puppy running stable over 1300 MHz on the boost frequency. More on that later though.

The card is just over 11 Inches in length which is like 28.5 cm (including cooler). With this size it should be an easy fir to position in most mid-tower and bigger PCs really.
