ASUS GTX 760 MARS Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4k)

To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.
power consumption
The card takes 255 watts under load, dropping to 14 watts when idle. Under Furmark load this rises to 339 watts.

  1. This is very impressive. always liked the GTX760 for the power to performance ratio. nice job.

  2. Very interesting, I always thought MARS cards were priced intentionally well outside the realms of normal solutions, but ASUS are making this one practical as well.

    Its a good idea, but it should maybe have a different name, not MARS.

  3. Very nice idea, I see a lot of people complaining that it is no longer a ‘MARS’ card, but they weren’t practical at all for anyone, over the top pricing etc. Maybe asus want this one to sell well, and it should actually as its a decent saving over the 780 TI, and closely matched.

  4. Why there is no comparison of gtx690, amd7990, or some SLI/crossfire?
    The Chart is not complete without these comparison….
