EVGA confuses me.

[connorpiper]

So, buying my 2nd GTX 760, but when I try to find the same one. EVGA gets confusing.

 

I understand there are:

 

Blower Card

Superclocked Blower Card

ACX Card

Superclocked ACX Card

 

And then there is Superclocked ACX Card w/ Double BIOS

And then there is Superclocked ACX Card w/Double BIOS and Backplate (Also comes with more stickers?!)

And then there is Superclocked ACX Card w/Double BIOS and Blackplate and Different Colored Metal? (Comes with poster)

And then there is ACX Card w/Double BIOS 

And then there is ACX Card w/o Double BIOS but with backplate

And then there is ACX Card with just a backplate

 

Basically, what I am asking is that. 

 

Why does the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130953 come with a backplate and different colored metal (Titanium Colored)?

While the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932 does not come with one and has silver metal?

 

What are the differences? (Other than Blackplate and Dual BIOS)

The price.

The price.

 

And that...

The first one comes with a backplate because it's a "Dual Superclocked ACX" card, while the other card is just a standard "Superclocked ACX"

If you're running two in SLI, get blower

I think the naming scheme is quite clear, they are just a combination of different non-essential feature which you probably won't need or use. Personally I would get the superclocked acx.

Finally someone who understands.

Still love that build.

I already have the ACX. And I have enough airflow for my GPUs.

That's the dual BIOS part.

The second card being a blower will still help. Even with good airflow, two non-reference cards will still have the problem of the hot air loop, where hot air being spit out by one of the ACX cards will be sucked into the other.

[Ryan Leech]

That's the dual BIOS part.

Yeha but it also has to do with the Backplate. The "Dual" in the name makes it a higher-tiered product so EVGA throws in the backplate.

But... But... It will look crappy...

Won't look that bad, since the reference 760 is black. Personally I actually like having two different cards. Looks less plain. And that GEFORCE GTX logo tho

You can't get a reference blower on newegg. I'll just get the Dual ACX, if it bursts into flames, you'll be the first to know.

honestly I feel like in six months I'm going to see a thread pop up "so my 760s just bursted into flames..............."

lol they don't run that hot.

Wait. I just realized that ACX cards exhaust out the back and the front. So I really don't think that hot air looping is possible. 

Where the 2nd exhaust is, the heat is blown over my bottom intake and pushed up into the H100i (Exhaust) 

[CCap]

lol they don't run that hot. 

I know lol. They'd throttle before that happens unfortunately.

the higher end cards basically are cherry picked chips and better everything from vrms to mosfets
