APHill Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi, I am going to get a new video card soon. I have been considering aGeForce GTX 770. My question is, what manufacture is the one to buy. ASUS, ZOTAC, EVGA,GIGABYTE, etc. (Maybe it makes no difference)The EVGA seems to be the one I hear about more often, but my hearing isn’t all that good!Thanks for any input.AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi AP, I have got a MSI 570 which was highly rated by a PC magazine. To be honest I dont think that there would be much to choose between them, however the guarantee might vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted June 13, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, check out the secondary thingies like warrantee or guarantee etc. (If prices are all like similar of course...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 AP, I recently got myself an EVGA 660ti 3gb and it's fine. One of the things that swayed me was the 3 year warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Some models have extra memory and stuff like that. I bought a GTX 660 Ti with 3 gig for$10 less than a another manufacturer's 2gig model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted June 13, 2013 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Look for the most onboard ram, fastest clock speeds for core and ram and warranty against price. Less so the actual make. Most makes do super overclocked versions of there cards. They're what i always look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APHill Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. I am going for this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463 Which is: GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card -Overclocked edition with WINDFORCE 3X/2 Slot 450W Fan Sink Sound Ok?

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted June 13, 2013 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 2 gigs is pretty low now for onboard memory on new cards, if i was buying a new card now i'd be looking for more. apart from that very nice indeed.

APHill Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 More than 2 gigs? I've never seen one with more than 2. Could you give me a link for one with more? I'd be very interested. I haven't bought it yet. I am open to suggestions for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gec Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 do not know your price range but here are few examples http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709&IsNodeId=1&page=4&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&CompareItemList=48%7C14-125-439%5E14-125-439-TS%2C14-162-118%5E14-162-118-TS%2C14-500-284%5E14-500-284-TS%2C14-125-413%5E14-125-413-TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gec Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 or in this way http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709+600286741&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=48&description=&hisInDesc=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&AdvancedSearch=1&srchInDesc= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted June 14, 2013 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 More than 2 gigs? I've never seen one with more than 2. Could you give me a link for one with more? I'd be very interested. I haven't bought it yet. I am open to suggestions for sure. out of stock at the moment, but a 4 gig version of the same card you were looking at, $50 more, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125462 might have to look around a bit, because all the 770's that are 4gig seem to be sold out at the moment at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600030348%20600451269%20600451260&IsNodeId=1&name=GeForce%20GTX%20770 By the way, when i said 2 gigs is pretty low, i should of said standard really. But if i was buying myself a new card to last for a while, i would want the higher specs to future proof it for that bit longer, and with flight simming and big textures being thrown at your card, on-board ram vid ram is good.

APHill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks for all the input. Now I have to make a decision.........Oh no! a decision!! I think I’ll go for door number 2.... Err, I mean I think I'll wait a bit to see if that GeForce GTX 770 4GB becomes available in a week or so. Don’t know if I can stand to wait much longer than that, as I am getting really interested in CLOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks for the posts here. As soon as I fired up BOS I figured it was time for a new card, running an Intel i7-2600k at 3.4 Ghz and a GTX 260 vid card now(says 896 Mb memory) and getting at best 40 FPS in BOS with lowest settings...... never less than 60 in IL2 46(usually over 100) Just ordered this at $329: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Video Card - 4GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), 1x Dual-Link DVI-D, 1x Dual-Link DVI-I, 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11.1, SLI, Dual-Slot, ACX Cooler, (04G-P4-2768-KR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 24, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Sounds like a good card, specially for the money (well, if that'd be anywhere near where you got it for) You will enjoy that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm on my 2nd EVGA and quite happy. GTX260 and GTX660Ti Warranty is what sold me originally. I've never needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Of course the tax adds 15% but I figured if my wife can ask for a $400 purse as a gift I should feel no guilt. Or rather a $150 purse with a $250 label. I never will understand victims of fashion. She needs a new anything when it's no longer in style. She has at least 20 wrist watches in a drawer. I still wear the same Wenger (swiss army) watch she bought me when we married - 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
