A Closer Look


The Gainward GTX 760 Phantom has an extremely unique aesthetic from the heatsink being on the outside. This gives an industrial, yet surprisingly sleek, looking design.

The back of the graphics card reveals a dark brown PCB and actually a  short PCB compared to the size of the graphics card. It also appears to be a reference PCB that is smaller than the default Nvidia GTX 760 PCB. The graphics card measures in at 247mm which is about 9.75 inches.

Beneath the heatsink you can see a pair of 80mm fans. These are removable and they are “push” fans, in other words, they move air out from the inside of the card into your case.

The cooler is actually quite “chunky” taking up 2.5 PCI slots, which effectively means it takes up 3 so SLI on dual-slot spacing motherboards won’t be possible.

The bottom features a glossy piano black finish and you can also see four 8mm heat pipes which carry heat away from the GPU into the heatsink array.

The top shows us two 6 pin PCIe connectors and the removable fans with thumbscrews.

The other side of the card reveals two SLI fingers for up to 3 way SLI.

The PCB, like we mentioned, is much shorter than the overall card. The extension part is made up of ventilated plastic to assist with the fans intake.

The end is also open to assist with the fan intake and additional ventilation.

As was detailed on the box the fans are removable simply by unscrewing the black thumbscrews.

Once pulled out you can see the frame-less 80mm fans attached which a small black thumbscrew and a mounting bar at the top. These fans use a sleeve bearing and are made by Power Logic.

The fans are powered by contact circuits which are “completed” when the fans are slid into the correct position. This in effect means they are wireless so are easy to remove and replace.

Out of the box you can see the overclocks, up from stock Nvidia speeds of 980MHz core, 1085MHz boost and 1500MHz memory.
