any GTX770 users???

lol I cant hear the 770 at all. even when oced it runs in the mid 60s during benchmarks while being as quiet as can be. of course its cool in my room now so I expect maybe 70 during the summer.

The 770s have the same reference board as the 780s which is required to fit the Titan cooler on it. The other result of this is the fact that AIBs can just use their solutions from the 780 on their 770s.

Both the reference Titan cooler and the coolers that are equivalent or better (Nvidia Greenlight Program assures it for the 780, so if the same cooler is on the 770, this applies) will have no problem with a 770's level of wattage.

Congrats on the card! Excellent load temperatures, are those full 99% usage numbers over a long period? My 770 which has the Zotac Amp! cooler loads up into the mid 70s during BF3 with a 60% fanspeed applied.

My case is limiting my load temps obviously, side 140mm fan with a 64cfm fan and the rear 80mm with its 34cfm.......besides that how you liking the card?

they may have the same length and mounting holes but the reference 770 and reference 780 board look almost nothing alike. and mine looks different than either one of those too.

it seems 1254 is the highest this card can reliably run. 1267 and even 1280 were okay in some tests but not 3dmark. oh well some 770 cards do even worse.

Yes it's not the same board, its just very similar.

and again, other than length and mounting holes they are not the same board. plus that board is not the one most 770 cards use as there technically is not a reference 770. those were just the ones that were sent out for reviewers. in the usa it was not even going to be available at all but enough people wanted that EVGA finally made it available. most 770 boards are way shorter and are basically custom.

its funny how 3mark11 will always show if my oc is stable or not. my 570, 560, 670, 660ti and now 770 could run higher clocks in any other benchmark but 3mark11 would shoot it down. the highest core I can reliably get in 3mark11 is 1254. I tried memory by itself with core stock and just over 7500 is it. with core at 1254, just over 7500 is still it too. so basically 1254/7500 is max for this card. I will run it stock for 99% of games but maybe do 1228/7200 for demanding games. and changing the voltage did nothing as it still said 1.200. I noticed that in a review too so not sure what the point of teasing that option is. personally I would run voltage at stock but I just wanted to see if the card would oc any better with that tiny voltage bump that's supposedly there.

Got the MSI 770 myself, but am running a slower CPU so benchmark scores might not help you much.

 

[toyota]

its okay. no one has to run anything else unless they are just bored. I am already positive my card is doing what its supposed to.

I am a bit disappointed in the overclocking especially the memory.

Hope your 770 isn't 2gB.

Going 2gB this late in the game its a pretty bad idea if you don't plan on upgrading when 20nm comes.

I don't know if I can agree with that because the newegg prices seem to be charging $50 for 2 GB of extra DRAM. $329 for a 2 GB vs. $379 for a 4 GB is tough seeing the proximity of the 4 GB card to the R9 290. Usually in the highend, you pay a greater percentage increase in price for a small increase in performance, but 4 GB GTX 770 vs. 4 GB R9 290 is not that way. Also, at the resolutions where the extra memory matter and by the time most games need more than 2 GB, the even a 4 GB GTX 770 will have slow performance.

Yeah, I am pretty sure MSI is using their own design on their Gaming Cards.

the cheapest 4gb 770 was 75 bucks more than the deal I got on my 2gb. that would have been 75 bucks down the drain for my needs. I will certainly upgrade my card again within 9-12 months.

 

[24601]

toyota already said he would upgrade in a year, so the 2gB ram is a non-issue.

My initial statement was under the assumption he would not, as he seemed to be using mid-range cards, and people who use mid-range cards tend to upgrade not as often (cost is the reason people use mid-range cards in the first place).

My 770 has piss poor memory overclocking capabilities as well, even the core is sorta lousy maxing out at a boost clock of 1241, asic quality is 79.6%.I just leave the memory at stock and put the core to 1140 which basically stays at 1241 boost 90% of the time.

Erm, he has a 770 and he benchmarked it? ::

he had nothing about a 770 listed when I said that and his sig says Titan. what I quoted was all he had at that time.

 

[Golgatha]

Yeap, done.

 

[Golgatha]

And...done.

 

[toyota]

Umm, you're welcome?

Please tell me what part of HTPC and....

eVGA GTX 770 4GB FTW, 8GB DDR3, Intel 3570k CPU at stock 3.4Ghz

Part Number: 04G-P4-3776-KR

is too ambiguous? The rig in my signature isn't hooked up to the TV. It's hooked up to a computer monitor. i.e. they are separate systems. Would be good for benchmarking GTX 770 vs Titan or Titan SLI though, as both have the same motherboard, SSD, and same number of RAM sticks installed.

are you actually going to play stupid now even though you know that you edited your post and I already said none of that was there when I replied. what I quoted from you is all you had listed at the time.

 

[Golgatha]

Done.

 

[Golgatha]

Mods can read my remarks in your quotes.

 

[toyota]

You insult people who are trying to help you. Good luck with that. Also, if you would run the benchmark, I expect your score will be pretty similar to the one I posted and about 10 million miles away from SLIed Titans. Stupid? Pot, kettle, black you ungrateful $%^&*()!

again why don't you pay attention before mouthing off? You originally Posted exactly what I quoted which said nothing about a GTX 770. I saw extremely high frame rate and then I looked at your signature. That's why I made my comment. You later then edited your comment to say something about the GTX 770. I made it clear in my reply to the other member that I didn't know anything about the GTX 770 when you originally made your comment. All that information was right there in front of you yet you still made a comment acting as if I knew you had a 770 the whole time. if you actually paid attention and look at what I said to him then there was nothing else for you to even say.

Have same card, toyota. Cant recall best OC but I think around 1230mhz, boost was around 1300 something. Has power target 111%, other cards 106.

if you got 1300 then that's very impressive. Even the Lightning reviews I've seen for this card are usually only around 1250.the higher power target really doesn't help though because even at my max overclock I'm only using just 82 percent of the power at peak loads. I really expected much more out of the memory though.
