Alright... photo's! A couple of pages with photos then and most of it from our own photo-shoot. And there is, the GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU Mini from ASUS and yes, it is a rather small looking bloke.

ASUS clocks the card at a 1006 MHz baseclock, a 1072 MHz Boost clock --  the memory is running reference at 6008 MHz (lots of tweaking headroom left though). Combined with these clock frequencies the card should be fairly close to GeForce GTX 680 performance levels. Obviously ASUS uses a custom design  PCB as it definitely is a little shorter than reference. Eye catching obviously is the two slot dual fan cooling combo. The design is not the most sexy but it is a fairly silent GTX 760 card, all that while showing very decent cooling numbers in terms of temperature.

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.

As stated ASUS offers this card factory clocked for you at 1006 MHz with a Boost clock of 1072 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 at roughly 1250 MHz on the boost frequency.

The card is almost 6.5 Inches in length which is like 17 cm. With this size it should be easy to position in any PC really. Obviously Mini-ITX is the hot topic here.
