Which GTX 770 revision should I go for?

PraxxtorCruel · Jun 11, 2013

Hello,

I'd like some assistance in choosing the right gtx 770 to purchase. There's just so many revisions I don't even know where to begin. I had a look at the Gigabyte 770gtx 3X Windforce, which I liked the look of. Although I'd rather save £20-30 and get a stock gtx 770 and just overclock it instead if manufacturer overclocking is that differentiates it from the reference GTX 770. I'm planning on overclocking the card. So what are the current GTX 770's that hold the leaderboard! Thanks in advance!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-N770-TF-2GD5-OC/dp/B00D3XW8MO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1370989084&sr=8-3&keywords=770 that is a very good revision of the card. It has a gaming mode which tunes up the core clock and the fan speed to get some good gaming experience. It has Eco mode, which reduces the core clock and fan speed to save power. It has the default mode which obviously sets it back to the original settings. The best thing also are the fans, it has dual 10cm PWM fans with Propeller blades technology which generates more airflow than normal fans.

Overall it's a great card and worth the money it's asking for it.

That's not a bad card but it does cost a bit more than stock. If you want to overclock yourself, may I suggest this one which is quite a bit cheaper:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-GeForce-Graphics-Express-Display/dp/B00D3ZYDKM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_1/275-4746617-9058166
Nothing wrong with Palit, as it's made by the same factory and company as Gainward and employs the exact same cooler which performs well.

You can get £20 off @ Dabs.com if you use the code PAYPAL20 at check out, just got my Gigabyte GTX 770 off there.

Or you could save more if you get a stock version.

*Edit, I think you have to use Paypal to use the code, but who doesn't these days...

I just picked up the EVGA GTX 770 with the ACX cooler. It's very quiet and very cool. Both of which help give you headroom for OverClocking if you want. EVGA offers their ACX cooler on the "SuperClock" verison and the regular non-overclocked version.

In the US it's only $10 extra to get the ACX cooler version. And $10 on top of that for the SuperClock version.
