Best SFF GTX760

What's the best SFF GTX760 for a Mini-ITX build?

Thanks

I would prefer EVGA GTX 750 TI if I was you
GTX 760 is based on older architecture Kepler with high power consumption ( high temp / electric bill)
GTX 750 TI is based on latest Maxwell architecture . GTX 750 TI (60W) vs GTX 760 (170W) , GTX 750 TI is best bang for buck GPU in this case
But to answer your question , Asus DirectCU mini GTX 760 should be small enough to fit most mini ITX case

How about performance? Does the 750 outperform the 760?

No but it's extremely close. I have the equivalent keplar to that card and I can run every pc game I have at 1080p high-highest settings with 45+ fps. Plus, the power usage on that card is insanely little which is good for a SFF computer. Less power equals less heat which usually equals quieter. It's a much better bang for your buck.

Thanks. I'll go the GTX750 route.

I assume 4xIR in Dolphin would be no problem then?

Does your case require a low profile card?

4x should be fine on a 750 TI.

I'm *very* pleased with my 750 Ti SC. I've never owned a 760, but the 750 performs well enough for my purposes with Dolphin and every other PC game that I play.

Cool. The HD 5200 Iris Pro does 3X in most games with the other settings at the minimums and v-sync enabled. A few games require dropping down to 2X to keep frame rates perfect. Being able to go to 4X with some of the more demanding settings would be nice.

I am not going to be using a standard case. I am actually going to the flea market today to find an old wooden radio or something to restore and build the system inside it. Size will be an issue most likely, but I will hopefully be able to use a 200mm exhaust fan in the back. Being wooden, I'll need a little more air flow to keep things cool and quiet. My plan is to slot and filter the front/bottom and have the 200mm fan pull the cool air over/under the board and out the back. Hopefully things will work out. Wink

Sorry for the small correction in this post but the gtx 750 ti does not really come perfectly close to the performance of a gtx 760.
Theoretically talking the difference should be about 50%

yet real life performance would be something along the lines of 30% difference depending on the game, app and wii emulated game as well.
as for rendering a 760 will perform almost 23% faster (tested only in blender x.x)
here some comparisons:

for an itx build gtx 750 ti with the small tdp and good performance is quite seductive ^^
