With a lot of big new games coming out soon I am wanting to take out the 760 and put in a 980 GTX. Should it be as simple as plug and play?

Haven't really done it myself but you shouldn't have any issues, that is in my opinion the big advantage a desktop has over the laptops, anyway i've played many next gen games and haven't got any performance issue so far

Yes, it will support a GTX 760.It will not support 2 GTX 760s in SLI. The board does not support SLI at all (although it does support crossfire), but even if it did, the 2nd PCIe 2.0 x16 slot only runs at x4 speeds, so you'd bottleneck a 2nd card anyway.

Yes it sure can, you can read about it herehttp://www.pcworld.com/article/2042937/nvidias-new-geforce-gtx-760-attacks-the-mid-range-at-250.html

Acording to passmark, GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ scores 906, while GeForce GTX 650 Ti scores 2692. Since you run the 9800GTX in SLI, i would take into account a 75% in performance, making the "total" score of the SLI 1359. Then yes, I would replace them both with a relative good performance increase (and power consumption decrease)

I just downloaded the demo and cranked up all of the settings (@2560x1600) with my GTX 780... I was getting about 200 FPS in the flight sim part. In other words, this card is about 3x more powerful than you really need--anything over 60 frames per second is wasted on most monitors. You could spend only $150-200 and get something that's more than enough for flight sims. The GTX 760 is reasonably priced, as are the older versions of the Radeon cards (ex. 7950 Boost).

Hi Jay, To answer your question, "Yes it is" as long as your GTX 760 has either an (8+8 pin), (6+8 pin) or a (6+6 pin) power socket configuration, which it should. I suspect you most likely have a dual 8 pin socket to power it, as my GTX 770 Classified ACX cooler does. My only concern is you will running that PSU close to it's max power on the graphics card alone & these 700 series cards require 600 watts minimum recommended power to run them, not counting all the other accessories you have connected to your PC rig like the motherboard, fans & drives you will be running. My recommendation is you check all the power requirements of all the parts you using in your system and add up how many watts you will need total and run a more powerful PSU than you require as not to run the PSU so hard. Better to have extra power than not enough! This will give you room for expansion to upgrade or add additional accessories later and avoid burning out a PSU running maxed out. I hope this helps you out! All the Best, Dan

It does, but not very well. For open CL I recommend an AMD card like the R9 280x or R9 290. even older cards such as the AMD 7950 would perform worlds better than the GTX 760. AMD card in general perform OpenCL tasks much faster and efficient than Nvidia cards.

Some games do like Assassins Creed 4 for example. My friend with a GTX 760 2gb (Which these cards are VERY equivalent you could say they are twins seperated at birth) can run AC 4 on high with a little lag I can run mine on Ultra with a little Anti Aliasing and I can hit 50fps no issue

Yes. Vanilla GTX 760 comes with a 6+6 power connector. However, the MSI N760 OC requires both 8+6 connectors because it is overclocked.

Yes, it has 4 6+2 pin pci-e plugs. So you could run two gtx 760's if you want.

The plugs will work on reference designed GTX 760 cards and some aftermarket cards, and the power output is high enough for any GTX 760. This PSU has 2 6-pin PCIE plugs. Just make sure that's what you have, because some redesigned 760's require a 6- and 8-pin connector, such as this one here: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-GV-N760OC-2GD-REV2-0/dp/B00DGM8B6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391732974&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+760+6%2B8+pin You cannot plug a 6-pin connector into an 8-pin slot without converting it first. It won't work. If that's your case, then you'd need this, too: http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-8-Inch-6-Pin-PCI-E-8-Pin/dp/B002SZ45BU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1391733422&sr=8-3&keywords=6+pin+to+8+pin+pcie So, be sure of what you have. EDIT: I notice that other people are comparing this card to older cards. While (in some cases) they are correct, they would NOT be correct in the scenario I portrayed.

Two 650 Ti Boosts will out perform a single 760. Its even comparable to a 670 which is slightly better than a 760.

Sorry Karen, I don't know. It worked great in my 760. I guess you can order it and send it back if it doesn't work..

You really shouldn't buy this card anymore since it is obsolete and being discontinued. If you can get a hold of the GTX 970 or 980 they are faster, more power efficient, and smaller than this card.

It should be no problem. I have the GTX780 on the computer hooked up to it right now, and I also have a GTX980 but have not tried it, but there is no reason why it would not work. One thing to note, though, is that this monitor is very limited in it's input, with a DVI input only (dual link), so in the future, if say the next gen of video cards coming out only support DisplayPort or something, you may need to buy an adapter or a new monitor.Gaming with the GTX780 on this monitor, even at full res, is great, so if you have the 980, then you will be quite happy with its performance.

Hi Marcia, Physically, there is enough space in the unit to handle the 760 Video card, though you would have to upgrade the power supply to be able to handle the added voltage and cable requirements of the new card.
