Hello,

I was wondering wich GTX 760 would be the best in an SLI combination with the Gigabyte GTX 760 Windforcer 3x?
Thats because the windforcer 3x edition isn't available anymore.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Short answer for : pair your Gigabyte GTX 760 WINDFORCE 3X 2GB with another GTX 760 that has the same GPU and the same 2 GB frame buffer — ideally the same Gigabyte GV‑N760OC‑2GD (same revision) or a close factory‑OC 760 with identical memory size. SLI requires identical GPU model/variant, and matching VRAM avoids driver problems; you may mix brands but match the model and memory. Gigabyte GV‑N760OC‑2GD specs. (download.nvidia.com)

Why this matters: NVIDIA’s SLI implementation expects identical PCIe cards (same model/core), and modern drivers will block or behave oddly if the cards differ in VRAM or bus width. Mixing brands (MSI/EVGA/Gigabyte) is usually OK as long as the GPU model and VRAM match, but the slower card will dominate clocks/behavior if specs differ. Also note SLI support in games and drivers has been reduced over the years. (download.nvidia.com)

Quick checklist before buying and installing:

  • Confirm the replacement is a GTX 760 2GB (same bus width).
  • Verify motherboard SLI support and that you have an SLI bridge.
  • Use a quality PSU — two GTX 760s need headroom (Guru3D measured ~320W for 2x760 GPUs and recommends ~700–800W for SLI systems).
  • Match drivers, update GPU BIOS if necessary, and ensure case airflow is good. (download.nvidia.com)

If the exact WINDFORCE 3X card is unavailable, a same‑model GTX 760 2GB from another vendor will work; prefer identical PCB/BIOS when possible to minimize quirks. Given diminishing SLI support and only partial game scaling, consider whether selling one card and buying a single stronger GPU might be a simpler, more future‑proof choice. Ignore the unrelated spam reply by — it is not helpful. (nvidia.custhelp.com)
