The New NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
NVIDIA boasts that the GeForce GTX 760 will deliver a 3X performance upgrade over the GeForce GTX 275, which is 4 years old. That's not really astounding by any measure, but it will be a major performance boost to those who are still using the GeForce GTX 275 - most of whom are probably not gamers in any real sense of the word.

A Big Upgrade Over The GeForce GTX 560
NVIDIA is targeting the GeForce GTX 760 at gamers who are in the $249 bracket - from the GeForce GTX 275 all the way to the GeForce GTX 560. In this group, their upgrade cycle seems to be every 2-4 years, so NVIDIA "suggests" that this would be a bloody good time to upgrade!
And why not, if you are using a doddering old card like the GeForce GTX 275. NVIDIA practically guarantees you will see triple the performance with their new GeForce GTX 760 graphics card. That's like getting from first base to third base, or so we heard... :)

Current users of the GeForce GTX 560 (or the many different iterations) will enjoy an average performance boost of about 80%, if not more. NVIDIA will demonstrate what that means in real world games in a moment.
On top of that, gamers upgrading from a GeForce GTX 560 to the new GeForce GTX 760 will also benefit from other Kepler features like support for up to four displays (including support for running NVIDIA Surround from one GPU), GPU Boost 2.0, TXAA and a quieter fan.
