How does the 760ti perform in modern titles?

5:59:07 PM EST TIP_Dante V

The Nvidia GTX 760Ti can handle games seamlessly too. It can even run up to 120 fps.

6:00:16 PM EST Faiknaym

Wow, that is amazing! Will I be able to overclock my CPU to around 8 ghz?

6:03:38 PM EST System

Uhhh, ok?

 

Technically he didn't lie to you. The 760 TI does exist (albeit as an OEM-only rebrand of the GTX 670), and since it's a 670, it does support 120 Hz monitors.

The definition of "seamlessly" can be somewhat variable. The 670/760TI won't run Far Cry 4 at 4K Ultra at 120 FPS, but it most definitely will run games like Far Cry 4 at an acceptable framerate if you adjust your settings.

 

 

So let me get this straight:

-You talk to support rep with the intention of trying to make him say something that's false.

-He doesn't say anything that's technically incorrect

-You "record" the conversation and post it to a tech forum

-You then tell everyone that what the rep has said was incredibly stupid

-Everybody succumbs to peer pressure and joins in a circlejerk around the false idea that the rep has said something that's completely untrue.

Either troll or Alienware employee.
