GTX 770 , so many to choose from

[fschris]

I am looking for a GTX 770 card from EVGA. I notice they are priced from about 300 to 450 on Newegg.


What one has the best value, price performance price point? Newegg carries 10 EVGA GTX770 cards! Seems like to many if you ask me.

I am thinking this is the sweet spot..EVGA 04G-P4-3776-KR GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support FTW 4GB Dual w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Does anyone have a guide or suggestion on which one to get? I play BF$, Fary Cry 3 type games.

I currently am running a GTX670 I have an ASROCK Z77 exteme4 with a core i53570K.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The best ones to me are Gigabyte Windforce, MSI Lightning, or the EVGA Classified..

Price wise, the Gigabyte Windforce is the best buy out of the three as it offers the same clock speeds, but at a cheaper price.

What resolution do you play on? If only 1080p then there's really not much reason to get the 4GB version unless the price difference is $30 or less.

Aare you upgrading from the GTX 670? You're really not going to see much of a performance difference according to this chart

I have the ASUS DirectCU-II OC model in my system now (haven't updated sig yet). Very quiet, very cool, good clocks. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far with ease (Tomb Raider, Skyrim, Witcher, Crysis, etc).

I just got one of these today. Running at 1200/1900, boost in Unigine Valley is 1356. I have the fans set to manual locked at 70%. Trying to run 2000 on the memory is a no go, on stock voltage running 110% power.

My opinion won't be very helpful for you because I don't game, but I do push my GTX 770 pretty hard doing some advanced video rendering. I also have the Asus board, and like the others have found it to be very cool and quiet, and it overclocks nicely. Even at high clocks/voltage, I had no lockups or BSODs, just a distorted image in Furmark.

interesting.... I see its not worth getting a GTX770 over my GTX670. I should at least buy a GTX780 or go SLI. I looked for a GTX670 and prices are all over the place for a EVGA gtx670

going from an gtx670 to a gtx770 is essentially going from a gtx670 to a gtx680.

and i just notice how awfully close my name is your yours lol

If you are still looking at 770s the PNY enthusiast is a great card. It isn't near silent, but it is whooshing. It's never passed 75c even when pushed to 1400mhz. I've gotten 1400/9000 oc in it. The stock 1254/7000 is well over overkill for my 1280x1024.

Just wait for mid/high range Maxwell and reconsider your options then. If you are playing at 1080p or less, there is not much reason to upgrade.
