Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-2GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC WINDFORCE 3X Graphics Card GV-N770OC-2GD by Gigabyte. The Nvidia GTX 770 is one beast of a GPU. Granted this isn't as quick as a GTX 780 or Titan (uses the GK110 chip), bot these are priced a lot higher, $650 and $one thousand respectively. This card relies of the GK104 identical to the GTX 680. The reference model GTX 770s ship with a base clock of 1046MHz which is up from the 1006MHz discovered on the 680. The most important difference comes from the RAM speed. Nvidia caught with the same 256 bit memory controller (a potential bottleneck for high resolutions and multiple screens) but elevated memory pace to 1752 MHz (up from 1502). The higher memory speed yields a 7 Gb/s bandwidth. This helps it sustain with the AMD 7970 and its 384 bit reminiscence controller. 

There are 1534 CUDA cores on the brand new GTX 770, identical to the 680. I unboxed the Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 3X card and have uploaded the video. I'm going into further detail in regards to the cards options as well. It isn't just the slight efficiency increase over the 680. It's the worth and over-clockability. The new graphics card ships with a 230W TDP instead of the 680′s 195W. This higher supports the higher frequencies and stability. On high of this, Nvidia set a base worth of only $399 MSRP. So if you happen to had been considering dropping $450 for a GTX 680 (Why?), or an AMD HD 7970 GHZ ($420-450) this deserves a severe consideration. One other large plus comes from their driver support. Nvidia is known to have frequent and relevant driver updates. 

When games like Battlefield and Crysis ship, you realize your card will work right away. AMD has made some critical progress with their new Catalyst drivers (12.5 and 12.6) so in some benchmarks they're actually faster. In case you're planning on using two graphics playing cards then stick with Nvidia SLI for now. 

They consistently carry out higher close to frame stutter and minimum frame rates in comparison with AMD's Crossfire. I all the time advise that you just test for game particular benchmarks earlier than you make the plunge. In the event you're enjoying Tomb Raider and Hitman then follow AMD. Battlefield three and Crysis favors Nvidia in most settings. If you need a brand new card and have the cash to spend, then go with the GTX 770. When you already personal a 7900 collection from AMD or a 670/680 from Nvidia, then I'd maintain off till the 800 series from Nvidia and the 9000 collection from AMD on the end of the year. I've used a Radeon 7950 Boost version from XFX and the Gigabyte GTX 770. I can't find anything to complain about. Positive with 3 screens the 7970 GHz might need been a greater choice. However now I've CUDA for my recreation recording (Action! game capture helps CUDA), and Physix for games like Hawken and Borderlands. Having the newest and biggest is at all times a plus. I used the GeForce experience software and it automatically units what Nvidia feels is the best performance for every recreation and your particular rig configuration. Not every game works however it's an excellent instrument to have and is relatively gentle on resources.
