How long with the GTX 770 last @ 1600x900?

ESKlassen · Jun 13, 2013

It's the 2 GB WF3 OC edition if you need to know that.

Thanks =)

Until DX12 becomes mainstream is our best guess. Which is a long time from now.

Agreed with @BigMack70. I neither have psychic powers nor am I a time traveler so it's a question that cannot be answered. Your GPU could die tomorrow. Who knows?

The new consoles could shake things up a bit next year once they start porting their games to PC. No one knows for sure yet, but more VRAM may play a bigger role. Normally though I'd expect it to last 2-4 years depending on how demanding things get and whether you're willing to eventually lower graphical detail levels in a few years.

Long enough for you to realise its potential and upgrade your monitor. A 770 will blitz through 1600p, but as above, time travel has not been achieved quite yet.

ESKlassen · Jun 13, 2013

No need to upgrade my monitor because I hook the PC up to another 1980x1080p TV to play some games anyways.

Well my question is, is it worth the $400 at the moment or should I get another graphics card (maybe $200 to $300) and then when DX12 comes along upgrade or buy a 2x770's now?

Let me just go facepalm quick. I will be right back...

Novuake :

Mind if I join you?

hahahahaha

At 1600x900 a 770 is plenty fine. You could probably go cheaper. 2x770 will not be necessary. Keep in mind you also haven't specified what you are looking to play with it. Even at 1980x1080p @ 60 hz a 770 should be fine.

ESKlassen · Jun 13, 2013

I'll be playing MicroVolts, Call of Duty (if possible, at least a few of those that haven't been released yet), Battlefield 3/4.

If the second 770 will make a difference at that resolution I'll get it.

GTX 770 does 130.6 fps on BF3 @ 1920 x 1080; two of em do 173.3

For the last 3 generations, I have found my users to get by 3 years @ 1920 x 1080 when buying the 2nd from the top card (i.e 470, 570, 670) in a lineup .... some add a 2nd card, some don't .... twin 460, 560 Ti's, and 650 Ti's I expect even also doing just fine.

Novuake :

900p, you knew what I meant.

Damn numbers...

jaguarskx · Jun 13, 2013

Depends on what you think acceptable frame rates is. I have been using a Radeon HD 5850 @ 1920x1200 resolution since Sept / Oct 2009. I will probably replace it next year though.

Novuake · Jun 13, 2013

cookybiscuit :

I am back...

:lol: and yes I knew what you meant, thus I did not point it out to you, since you knew the mistake ANYWAY. LOL

Still was a pretty blond statement since the GTX770 would not "blitz" through ACTUAL 1600p...

But hey, had a good laugh at least.

ESKlassen · Jun 13, 2013

BF3 = 70+ on high settings (not ultra).
BF4 = More or less the same.
COD = Every game on high 65+?
MicroVolts = 300+ because it's a very fast paced game. This card can do 700-800 in MV.

Will that work?

Rozbwen · Jun 14, 2013

The 770 should be fine unless you have something else bottle-necking your system.

Here is a benchmark for BF3 on Ultra Quality + FXAA-High at 1920x1080

Will an i5-4670k bottleneck the 770?

Rozbwen · Jun 14, 2013

ESKlassen :

No, you should be good.
