770 vs 7970GHZ for 2 monitros

Miko55 · Jun 9, 2013

I'm building new computer and I cant decide which graphic crad to take. I will be using 2 monitors one will be for games (1920 X 1080) other will be just for browser (Facebook,youtube...). AMD is better when it comes to multi-monitors but my second monitor will be only for browsing,so should I take 770 ? And dont count free games in couse in my country we dont have this offer.

And yeah,some games use already more then 2gb VRAM,so as a futureprof should I take 7970GHZ ?

Thanks for answers/opinions.

Do you want to overclock, because if you do the 7970ghz has more room for overclocking than the 770. I have my 7970ghz OC to 1225/1600 but it really all preference. But I will say this I am using one 7970ghz for 5760 x 1080 gaming and it doesn't even break a sweat.

zMarkb :

Sure I would OC but dunno how much couse i didnt do it before. But i dont get how can it be better,for exemple on this tests:http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-770-performance-unveiled-10-faster-radeon-hd-7970-ghz/ is 770 better everywhere,and 770 also haves bigger memory clock speed

You really can't compare spec's. There are too many differences in the architecture to do that. Just look at the benchmarks. I assume if you are using 2 monitors, you only game on 1. That basically means that you need to look at your single display resolution for benchmarks. The 2nd monitor means nothing when it comes to performance.

Yeah speces are not comparable but benchmarks are diffrent on every diffrent site. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/768?vs=829 here is 7970 better, on this site : http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-770-performance-unveiled-10-faster-radeon-hd-7970-ghz/ is 770 better, i really cant decide :/ Could OC and 3GB VRAM boost up 7970 ? :O

EDIT: But is true that 7970 is better only at "old" games,is this couse its not OC or is just 770 more optimzed more for new games ?

They are very close, depending on what settings or game compared, results will vary. I'd make choices either based on a particular game or feature you want. If you think you'll SLI down the road, I'd go with the 770 due to AMD crossfire issues.

I think I would go with 7970,but now with this xfire problem dunno,but arent they fixing this with drivers ? http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-AMD-Improves-CrossFire-Prototype-Driver

Don't...

They will fix it eventually, but it won't likely be quite as good as SLI either. SLI has built in hardware to meter the frames, Crossfire is going to rely on driver updates, and it appears to require profiles for each game.
