ASUS GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II Pictured
Ahead of its launch, a press-shot of ASUS' GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II graphics card (model: GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5) was leaked to the web. This is the same exact card that showed up on the radar of European price aggregator Geizhals.at, last week. The picture reveals a card with a compact PCB, and a slightly compacted new-generation DirectCU II cooler, which made its debut with the GTX 770/780 DirectCU series. The cooler uses a combination of 8 mm and 10 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes to draw heat directly from the GPU die, conveying it to a dense aluminum fin-stack, that's ventilated by a pair of 80 mm spinners. The DirectCU II series will likely be available in a reference clock-speed base model, featuring 980 MHz core, 1033 MHz GPU Boost, and 6.00 GHz memory; and the OC variant pictured below, which reportedly features 1006 MHz core, and 1072 MHz GPU Boost, while leaving the memory untouched. As usual, the card is expected to be priced in the $250 to $300 range.

GeForce GTX 760 Last 700 Series SKU for 2013?
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 760 could be the company's last GTX 700 series retail desktop SKU, at least for this year. A leaked slide by the company lays out how this year's three new GTX 700 series SKUs pretty much seal the product stack. It reveals that GeForce GTX TITAN will remain NVIDIA's flagship graphics card throughout the year. The thousand-dollar single-GPU card is based on the GK110 silicon, with 2,688 CUDA cores, and 6 GB of memory. The GeForce GTX 780, introduced this March, replaces the GeForce GTX 680 on the product-stack, even at its much higher launch price of $650, compared to its predecessor's $500. The GTX 780 has no competition from AMD at its price-point.
The slide also reveals that the GeForce GTX 770, which was launched late last month, will replace the GeForce GTX 670 from the stack. Based on the GK104 silicon, it features 1,536 CUDA cores, and 2 to 4 GB of memory. Given that it has a lot in common with the GeForce GTX 680, albeit with higher clock speeds, GPU Boost 2.0, its $400 pricing surprised us. The GeForce GTX 770 outperforms AMD's HD 7970 GHz Edition, and is generally priced on-par. The only definitively faster AMD card is the $1100 HD 7990 "Malta," which makes the GTX 770 the king of its segment.
